Revamped the creation of all character assets on Tome: Immortal Arena to help unify the look of the characters and help them read better from an isometric camera.
Introduced hand painted texturing techniques that still worked well with more modern shader pipelines in Unity. Struck a good balance between the two.
Working with my Creative Director and Art Director, I provided art direction on character concepts and in-game character assets, as well as produced character concepts and in-game art.
