Pastry Panzer Panic!
Pastry Panzer Panic! is a senior capstone game, created over the course of four months at the University of Central Florida. It is a food themed, objective based, tank game developed in Unreal Engine 4.
My Role
|
Pastry Panzer Panic! was created by a team of 20 students, of which I was the sole 2D artist. As Senior Artists, my primary obligation was to generate all the character and environmental concept art for the 3D modeling team to create. I also generated all of the art for the game's UI and menu systems and 2D animations for marketing.

Concept Art, So Much Concept Art
Among the 20 members of our team, I was the only 2D artist available. Normally I play a support role to the art department while I spearhead the game's audio design. I have always been a competent artist, but had never fully explored this part of my skill set in game development. Because of the skill load out this team brought to the game, I saw this as an opportunity to explore my traditional artistic abilities at a Senior level capacity. Creating enough art to keep the modelers busy, at an accelerated rate for a team this large was by no means an easy endeavor, but I felt I was up to the task.
When the game wrapped, I walked away with a question answered about my artistic capabilities, "Do I have what it takes to be a concept artist?"
Yes, yes I do,

Video Production
I have a deep interest in video editing and post production tasks and as a result After Effects and Premiere have become a secondary artistic medium for me. Here are the in-game and marketing animations made for the game.
