BIG PROJECTS
This is a collection of my large-form, interdisciplinary works, some of which are still in progress. Scroll down to see them all!
CITYSCAPE
HTML-linked interactive story
Photoshop, After Effects, Dreamweaver
Fall 2020
Cityscape was an interactive "visual novel" experience coded with local files linked by HTML. Each page contained a different animated background.
The player followed the Girl in the Orange Jacket throughout her journey to accomplish a goal. As the player selected a blue "answer" prompt to the Girl's pink "narrative" prompt, different branching paths were revealed. To explore the entire city, multiple playthroughs were required, with a greater knowledge of the world gained through each.

A PERFECT PLACE FOR PRODUCTIVITY
Hand painted & Poly Modelled Environment
Photoshop, Maya
Spring 2021
This workspace was designed as an optimal place for me to work on writing, digital art, sewing, and painting all within proximity of eachother, as my disciplines often overlap on large projects.
The environment was modeled in Maya. To minimize the amount of time spent organizing many files, I combined props by UDIM tiles and material similarity, hand painting all textures in Photoshop.
The portraits on the walls are examples of my own art, as I like to be surrounded by past work when improving upon and learning new creative skills.

WHEN PLANETS ALIGN
Webcomic utilizing 2D & 3D Original Assets
Maya, Blender, Photoshop, Webtoon
Summer 2021
On hiatus until possibly next summer, "When Planets Align" is a conceptual, original webcomic influenced by long-distance digital relationships and the insurmountable expanses of space travel.
Originally inspired by The Great Conjunction (see 2D Art Gallery), this as-of-yet unpublished work draws from Jupiter and Saturn's alignment of 2020. It utilizes a combination of 2D character art and overpainted 3D backgrounds, and reads in a vertical scroll format.
This project is on a temporary hiatus :)
SLOVALES ERMANALY: Remembrance in Retelling
Concept Art, Research Project, Immersive Environment, Hand Painted Textures.
Photoshop, Maya, Substance Painter, Sketchfab, Blender.
Fall 2021
Slovales Ermanaly (a combination of Slovakia, Wales, Germany, and Italy) is a research driven final project this semester. This solo project, comprised of three stages, (research, visual development, & conceptualization, 3D asset creation) explores my cultural heritage, retelling and reworking elements of architecture, clothing, and folklore into a new narrative.
I looked at specific towns, time periods, and legends to create a 3D environment which will be navigated in virtual reality through Sketchfab as a host site.
Included with the project is an art book which chronicles my process, as well as the individual and interconnected stories of the characters made to inhabit this world.
Work In Progress! Check back soon for final project and additional galleries.
