Prototypes & Other
3D • 2D • UI
In addition to the products showcased on this website, I have had the opportunity to work on various digital products and prototypes, including video games, AR (Augmented Reality) experiences, investor pitches, and more.
Please note that some of the creative elements included here are protected by Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA), which restricts me from discussing specific details about the work. In such cases, I have extracted certain creative elements I worked on, removed from the context of the associated product or project.
Where possible, the projects are grouped based on the type of creative elements I contributed, although there may be some overlap between categories:
3D:
Website Animation & Illustration
AR Interactive Mask Game
Isometric 3D Work
2D:
Shadowtale: Environment & Concept Art
AR Quest Game: Quest Illustrations & Icon Design
Website Animation & Illustration
3D
Targets:
Website
Description:
I created these two 3D art pieces for an earlier version of my website. Although they were not ultimately used in the final design of the site, I'm glad to see them finding a new purpose in this section!
The 3D tasks involved in this project included:
Modeling
Lighting
Illustration
Animation
Software used:
Blender, Illustrator, After Effects, Lottie, CSS
Contact Page Animation: For this animation, I aimed to create a unique experience that diverged from the conventional email/envelope closing and transforming into a paper airplane concept. Instead, I developed an animated loop showcasing a 1950s-style radio tower broadcasting a message to the world.
About Me Page Illustration: This illustration portrays a chibi-style representation of me engrossed in work on my laptop, immersed in my own world. As a proud Torontonian, I made sure to include a subtle nod to my city in the distant background.
AR Interactive Mask Game
3D • 2D
Targets:
Prototype
Description:
While I am unable to disclose specific details about the product we were developing, our objective was to create an engaging and immersive AR experience for the end user.
The 3D and 2D tasks involved in this project included:
Modeling
Textures
Programming
Software used:
Blender, Photoshop, Spark AR Studio
(VIDEO) Batman Mask (created in Blender): The design of the Batman mask was inspired by the era of Christian Bale and Heath Ledger's portrayals, aiming to bring a touch of edginess to the overall experience. The transition between the two characters was designed to be activated with a simple tap of the screen.
Joker Mask (created in Photoshop): Designing the Joker mask posed a distinct challenge as it required compositing various sources to achieve the ideal forward-facing position and precise sizing necessary for realistic mapping onto the user's face.
Isometric 3D Work
3D
Targets:
Isometric 3D Work
Description:
For these two distinct investor pitch pieces, the clients sought an animation and illustration that could serve as symbolic visual representations of their product's functionality.
It is important to mention that although these pieces have a 3D isometric appearance, they are actually created as 2D vector art. This approach enabled us to maintain small file sizes while ensuring infinite scalability.
The creative tasks involved in this project included:
Illustration (vector)
Animation
Software used:
Illustrator, Animate, After Effects, Lottie, CSS
Technology In Action (Investor Pitch Animation): Although the animation does not provide an exact representation of how the technology works, it offers a playful overview of its key functionality.
Perpetual Motion Machine (Investor Pitch Illustration): This illustration encapsulates concepts closely associated with the client's product, providing a visual representation of their ideas.
Shadowtale
2D
Targets:
Browser-based RPG
Description:
Shadowtale is an exciting browser-based MMORPG (!) that invites players to embark on a journey through the fantastical world of Kyros. In this immersive game, players must engage in battles with monsters, accumulate gold, acquire powerful gear, and ultimately strive to defeat the formidable Shadow Lord.
The creative tasks involved in this project included:
Concept art
Environment art
Animation
Software used:
Illustrator, Animate, After Effects, Lottie, CSS
Character Design Concept Sketches: In this project, my role involved creating concept sketches for various creatures. These designs were then forwarded to an external studio for the development of painted game assets. Once the painted versions were finalized, I utilized them to create the final character animation sets.
Asset Library and Environment Composition: The upper portion of the image showcases the library of components used to construct the area known as "Flying Mountains." The lower portion of the image demonstrates a level composition featuring these elements, providing a visual representation of how they come together in the game world.
Environmental Composition: Courtyard
Environmental Composition: Palace Dining Room
Environmental Composition: Candlewick Inn in Edgewood
Background Art Test (mock-up): Exploring the gradual transition of background areas as players horizontally progress through the level.
