  • Games with lots of plot and character lore that I get to design

Commission Portfolio

For commission reference purposes, I've mainly put examples up here of either personal work, or work I've done for others, either as gifts or commissions. Prints and fanwork can be found on my tumblr here:

Fully Rendered Work

These are pieces I have put in a lot of time perfecting, and typically haven't done many shortcuts. These take a lot of effort.

Simpler Work

With these pieces, I've focused more on the portrayal of the idea rather than how clean and perfect everything is. I'm still very proud of these pieces, but they are quicker to do.

Sketches or Chibis

Reference Shots / Sheets

Unfinished Visual Novel Dating Sim c. 2023
Here you can see some of my work process- unfortunately, this game team got cancelled mid game jam. The characters were a part of a large cast of mythological based characters, and each design was done from scratch and meticulously thought out and studied. Each design includes various pieces of symbolism, and was a good test of my ability as a character designer.

Design work:

Unfinished Farm Dating Game (?) c. 2020
Concept for this was Stardew Valley-esque, but with D&D elements. Unfortunately, this project fell through fairly early. The following are character designs only- not sprite work, just sketches and doodles, and a mockup of the pixel assets I had created for the gameplay element.
