I'm Joining the Avengers! :D

The Pirate event was the LAST Family Guy event I designed and vectored. I switched projects to work on TinyCo's Marvel Avengers Academy Game. I had SO MUCH fun working on Family Guy with a great team of talented artists and animators. I feel like the greatest thing I learned on this team was to always try your darndest to insert a sense of fun into every asset. If you are laughing while working, chances are a player will be laughing while playing! At least, that is what I always hope for.

I'm beyond thrilled to be working on Marvel as a concept artist and can't wait to get some concepts up sometime soon! In the meantime, check out the game!

Family Guy: Mighty Morphin Griffin Rangers

The most fun part of this event was having an excuse to research the totally crazy kaiju in Power Rangers!

Like...this psychotic pastry chef... 

...or

this giant chicken with shears...

Trust me, its worth an online search if you feel like a giggle.

The most challenging part of building this event for me was that the kaiju would need to be animated rising up and then hiding behind their elemental surroundings. 

This took a little tweaking because our animations are always an overlay on top of the exported art.

The problem was solved by including a piece of foreground exported along with the animation file, This also enabled me to enlarge the kaiju since only their upper torso need to be made.
