What's unique about this project?
Releasing on Steam this September!

I joined as a solo artist on a team developing a prototype that split from their original project.
Although my time on this team reads as 10 months, I was only in active development with the team for two. That is when I created a lot of 2D/3D content and supporting documentation. I created 60+ assets of the following categories:
Working on this project as their single artist, in the time of COVID, made me appreciate just how much I love working alongside other creative people. I realized that I value the dynamics of a team; I want to be a part of a team that pushes me to grow as an artist and as a person. |

What would I have done differently?
|
I wish I had more time to dedicate polishing this project. I found that as a solo artist it could become difficult to focus myself in the right direction instead of what would have been the best use of my time. I learned from my mistakes, but I would have realigned myself and sought additional support sooner.
In addition to that, I found that my specialization as a 3D environment artist took a backseat as I needed to fill multiple roles as a solo artist. I would have given our environments more attention to create a more lush and vibrant level. I explored what that might look like to the right.
