MiniGameJam 2022

Participated in a 72 hour game jam over the Halloween Weekend where we created a Unity game about Vampires. The premise of the game was COD: Zombies meets Vampires in a Japanese forest. Due to the limitation being added that "Blood is lethal" has to be a mechanic, we decided that the main character is a Dhampir (child of a vampire and human) that has the supernatural abilities of a Vampire, but is a day-walker. Dhampir blood, according to legend, is lethal to Vampires which is why part of the game mechanic was Blood Bombs and a Blood Sword.

Hellbat Creature Design

This was a very early creature model I created that is not optimized for game design, but I just really love the design of this creature.

Yennefer in Fortnite

This project features a crossover of Yennefer of Vengerberg from Netflix's "Witcher" series and "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" by CD Projekt Red, adopting the style of Epic Games' "Fortnite." This fan-made model, inspired by the actress from the Witcher Netflix series and the main outfit from Witcher 3, was created using ZBrush for modeling, Adobe Substance Painter for texturing and rendering, Maya for posing, and Photoshop for compositing. The model's appeal was evident when my younger siblings expressed their desire to play this character in Fortnite. Update: Yennefer is now in Fortnite as of June 2023.

The Yaramayawho is said to live in fig trees and resemble a frog-man with red skin, a very big head, large mouth, with no teeth, and suckers on the ends of its hands and feet. Instead of hunting for food, it waits for unsuspecting travelers to rest underneath the tree. A third of my triptych for my Senior Thesis.
