Family Guy: Peter's Prehistoric Park Event

We were all so excited about the new Jurassic Park movie, that a dino theme park event was inevitable!
I'd like to mention that the super talented artist, Paloma of TinyCo completed the vectored version of both the central building, and the amber mine rollercoaster.

Family Guy: Greek Life Event Concept and Vector Art

I am FINALLY posting some of the 2D vector art I made while working for TinyCo/JamCity on the game Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff.
The theme of this event was Greek Mythology! In this event space, the central fountain has several upgrades, and the player progresses by unlocking, then appeasing the giant deities located in the surrounding temples.
 I begin with a quick and loose drawing of the concept which I then paint in Photoshop. After receiving feedback and making changes, I start to build a vector version of the event.

 I had a lot of fun creating the concepts for the Greek Gods. Athena in particular has always been a favorite mythological figure of mine. I was delighted that we were able to include her owl. Please note that I made the concepts, but the final vectored version of the deities were completed by another artist.

In the following image. I have shown how each asset is given a bounding box, named, color coded and exported separately. I then create 2 maps. One shows how each piece fits into the space and what its dimensions are on the grid. The second map shows where each tile (laying beneath the art) will be placed.    

When complete, (and after fixing the inevitable visual bugs) each piece should fit together over the tiles seamlessly

Family Guy: Boomsday Event

I have always been super obsessed with post apocalyptic movies and books. The Road Warrior has been a hero of mine since before I can remember, so imagine my delight at my next assignment, a Doomsday event district! Sadly, we did not get the license for Mad Max, but a lot of the event was inspired by the desert landscapes and twisted rusty metal look from the franchise.

Family Guy: A Grimm Night in Quahog Event

This event was one of my FAVORITES both to make, and to play. I have always been a HUGE fan of the movie Princess Bride so when I heard we were building an event around it, I was head over heels. The Grimm event was very challenging because of all the technical requirements it had to meet while still trying my best to make things look fun and organic.

• There would be 3 varieties of dragon (designed and vectored by Teri) which would upgrade as a player progressed.
• Two towers with captured characters on top waiting to be rescued.
• Four Away Mission training areas where a player improved their skills (vectored by Paloma)
• Two mystery boxes (Brian and Stewie statues that produce prizes) (vectored by Wilma Lai)
• A building to craft prizes 
• A market where a player could buy new buildings and decos in exchange for items earned
• The castle gates would act as a portal spawning new varieties of squatters each week
