I was initially hired at Wicked Saints as a story artist to create the game’s initial narrative sequences. My role later expanded to a full time position as the studio’s in-house 2D artist; with mentorship from art director and character designer Meybis Ruiz Cruz, I was brought up to speed on the Spiderverse-like art style. I created a range of assets from quick turnaround prototypes to final designs, utilizing a variety of programs including Photoshop, Illustrate, Premiere, After Effects, ProCreate, Figma, and Rive.

Storyboard Example Sequences
As the story artist, I created storyboards to help shape the pacing of the story and overall process of building each sequence from the script. I worked closely with both the writing and engineering teams to create the flow of the game’s multi-path narrative while staying true to what the app would be able to reliably deliver across mobile devices. I often worked within the CMS implementing and animating assets to storyboarded sequences.

i did it all bitch
As a production artist, I created a variety of assets such as prop paintings, 2D UI elements, and rendered character files for rig animation; as well as animated an assortment of visual elements including stylized comic panels and pre-rendered backgrounds, both as frame-by-frame animation and animating graphics directly within the CMS. I also assisted in the look of real world images that fit within the illustrative style of the game. My narrative storytelling skills were utilized for not only in-game sequences, but also to create marketing campaigns and videos.
