Salvage Inc. – Visual Development

Last year, I was given the awesome chance to do some visual development for an indie project code named Salvage Inc.

Different biome ideas for the bottom of the ocean.

Different ideas for a “diving bell” that would lower the players to the bottom of the ocean.

Character exploration including how to differentiate each player if they chose the same skin.

Home base explorations

Prop and early enemy explorations. We settled on the famous ocean enemy; pirates

Texture examples for wooden ships

Dice Gun Commando

I had the pleasure of doing the steam store art for Dice Gun Commando. Its not often that you get paid to paint overly muscular cool guys standing in front of monsters. If you’d like to follow along with their game progress, you can check the steam store here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4537600/Dice_Gun_Commando/

Dice Tower – World Building

For Dice Tower I was brought in to help organize, plan, and concept the 2D pixel side scroller Dice Tower. These are a few of the tons of explorations including asset ideation, style ideation, and level design ideation.

Dice Tower – Backgrounds & Marketing

Several of the backgrounds I did for Loonicy Entertainment. Each background needed to be divided up into sections so that parallax could be added in engine. For updates on Dice Tower progress, click this link: Loonicy Ent

The final render

My original sketch. The surrounding design changed, but the original idea is all there.

A few expressions and thoughts about how the rocks could animate.

Some quick VFX for responses based on scores and moods.

The 3D block out.
