I worked as a 3-D artist specializing in modeling and texture painting for characters, props, and clothing. I've worked on some exciting and challenging projects over the years, which have pushed me to learn new technology as well as explore a multitude of different artistic techniques to achieve the right look for each project. I love working with a team to solve problems by thinking outside the box. When you combine people with artistic talent and technical knowledge and give them a common goal, it is amazing what new ideas and solutions they create. Being part of this process is one of the main things I love about what I do.
Art Direction
I served as Art Director for ToonTown Online at a very exiting time. Our group introduced a new story line involving the rising silliness in ToonTown and the effect it had. The Silly Meter measured the levels and as they rose more silly things began to happen. The trash cans, fire hydrants and mailboxes came alive, and the Doodles ran a muck. Players threw silly parties and could show off their silly style with all new accessories.
I was in responsible for the look of the new animated street props and changed the writing on them to international symbols, so they could be understood by all players, not just English speakers. I was also in charge of overseeing the production for all the new player accessories. We made shoes, backpacks, hats and glasses. They were a big hit with the players who have been wanting the ability to further customize their avatars for years.
Besides the game, I was also involved in the redesign of the Toontown website, the marketing e-mails, and Flash ads.
