Murder She Painted

Sometimes, at work, you paint cute things. Sometimes...you paint MURDER. Take a look at the murder scenes (because all crimes are murder!) I painted for one of our crime games!

"Hey Boss, is it cool if I head out a little early today?"

Here's proof of concept to the PMs that not every crime scene has to be monochrome CSI green, that even the most most warm, inviting places can be made grisly if you put enough blood on it!

Living in Wonderland!

Another game that recently got put out, Fairytale Wonderland! Here's some of the stuff I worked on.

Here's a Cottage I created, though it was later changed to have a storybook roof.

Here's the Tavern, where they drink "root beer" WINK WINK

Here's Sleeping Beauty's Castle, once you uncover all the thorny vines growing off it (it has a hothouse on the roof!). They wanted this one thin and spindly, but with isometric perspective, that sometimes required...creative proportioning.

I didn't have a lot of time to concept for the third little pig's house, but I think Hamlet's home came out pretty good!

HAHAHA OMG I love Prince Charming's pad. Palm trees and gold statues of himself and HOT TUBS, it's so trashy, so good.

Merlin's Magical Circle!

A Card Trap, used to capture enemies in game. Note the very devious trap up in the top left.

Cinderella Carriage took foreverrrr to make, because it has so many stages and rotations, but totally worth it, coz now 'Rella rides like a baller.

And here are some extra goodies. Some of these, like the Cupid, the Tea Cup, and Alice,  I did not concept, only painted. Other stuff I concepted but someone else took to finish. 

And there is the wonder of Wonderland! Hope you all enjoyed!

FEESH

Earlier in 2014 I worked on Fish Frenzy Mania! It was really a fun and colorful game, and I had a great time working on it. Now that the game is out, I can show you some of the stuff I worked on.

Vacationing Vikings and Blue Lagoon regions!

Jungle and SHARKNADO regions! I couldn't help myself.

You would not believe the struggle we went through to keep her from being white. Seahorse mermaid is my personal favorite!

"You know what fish is really trending right now?" the PM said, looking me straight in the eye, "Clown fish." 

Originally, this game was supposed to have a human hero, but we quickly saw mermaids were the superior choice, so this guy eventually evolved into our villain, The Worst Kid.

Half of the Boardwalk region I did, as well as some extra goodies.

If someone once told me "you will paint mermaids one day for pay", I think I would have died of happiness, but here I am, living the dream!

More Skriker!

One note I got from nearly everyone on my Skriker project was that there was no real scene where characters interacted with the environment they were in. So I went ahead and painted one of my favorite scenes from the play, where Josie is trying to convince Lily to steer clear of the Skriker, while the Skriker eavesdrops in the form of their couch. Skriker gets tired of all the smack talk, and finally just morphs out of the couch (much to Josie's annoyance and lack of all surprise), all decked out in a silly "fairy" costume and does a little dance.

That ugly couch pattern is flattering on everyone!

"Here I am as you can see,

A fairy from a Christmas Tree!

I can give you heart's desire,

Help you set the world on fire!"

HAHA WHAT COULD GO WRONG
