Miscellaneous Character Design

Infested - Model Sheet and Film Stills

A shut-in in denial is gradually presented with the reality of her deteriorating home, personal well-being, and friendships. I focused on designing an awkward and spindly character that could convey a lot of humor and anxiety, while also being quick to draw and animate.

Luminous - Character Exploration and Model Sheet

Character Design for the protagonist of the imaginary 3D platformer game, Luminous. Wherein a little lost candle must fence and rappel his way through revenging rats, festering floorboards, and unscrupulous elevator operators.

Navigation Error -Character Exploration & Design

Animation Reference sheets for CSULB’s Animation 3 short film. I took the initial concepts by director Dani Janred, and translated them into an expressive Midcentury Modern style. I also created expression examples and pose notes of the Robot for the animators to reference.

The Swingset - Character Exploration & Design

The protagonist of a melancholy short film titled “Swingset”, about a little girl who gives up her ability to imagine. The story was inspired by my favorite childhood pastime of swinging and daydreaming for hours on the swingset.

College Dude

He was a dude. So dudely, he could be considered the epitome of college dudeliness. The flipflops, the inside out shirt, the greasy acne hair! I glanced him for only a second, but I knew he had to be drawn.
