2D Designer/Lead Artist

Directed by a lead Artist to illustrate characters, UI and backgrounds for a freemium beat em up game for Youtube celebrity “KSI”. Was solely responsible for rigging and animating 800+ skeletal based animations as well animating all UI and cutscenes for the game’s 30 levels.

To enable the game’s massive amount of content to fit across numerous iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices, utilised Unity’s sprite packer, profiler and compression settings. Not only did this include sprites, but also the compression of the sounds and music of the entire game.

Working my way up to the position of Lead Artist, became in charge of mentoring two new artists as to our consistent art style, art processes and even how to use Unity to ensure the project’s ongoing success.

During the course of the project, designated the tasks of other artists using Atlassian’s Jira for time management and workflow optimization. Made sure to kept the art assets organized and always readily available using Unity’s Asset Server, Tortoise SVN and Atlassian’s Sourcetree.
