20xx - Presentwith hearts, guts, & tough handosPersonal Work aka Passion Projects
I still hold a deep, burning passion for video games and frame by frame animation. I have a particularly strong love for Riot Games' League of Legends, and I projected that enthusiasm into every single pixel of these projects.
Match Found
As a fan art project, I created a concept for the "Match Found" screen for 2XKO, the new fighting game set in the League of Legends universe. For this piece, I integrated traditional fighting game combo inputs with a countdown timer, rendering the entire sequence in the 2XKO color palette.
TFT Clash
Another fan art work of "Clash" tournament for Team Fight Tactics, the tactical strategy game where League of Legends champions battle in a hexagonal arena. The core design concept was drawn directly from the arena's hexagon shapes. I took an intuitive approach, visually exploring the forms created when two hexagons collide. For the visual aesthetic, I adopted color from Hex-tech, the signature blend of magic and technology.
Cart Jump 1.0
This piece was inspired by memories of riding in Target shopping carts and zooming through the store aisles with my kids. I created the frame-by-frame animation using Adobe Animate, and final compositing in After Effects.
