Storyboard for Billy Brushes His Teeth


I was given the character sheet of the character "Billy" and told to create a story off of "Billy Brushes His Teeth" and "What could go wrong?". This was what came to mind.

Unforgotten Game Asset: Office


Art assets for the game "Unforgotten" by a DigiPen Master's Game Team "Top Notch Team"

I was in charge of taking the concept art and layout specs and then render them in 3D.

This was the original concept art (artwork by Kevin French):


These were the specs/layout for the room:


After reading over these, I re-examined the concept art and room layout. If the father was supposed to be obsessed with his work, he shouldn't have a desk like that. A desk you sit behind and face the door symbolizes "power" or someone in a position of authority.

Additionally, if the chair had fallen over, you wouldn't be able to see it based on the desk's current position.

I proposed that the desk be changed to something more functional for a mad man. I saw it as something that might be crammed in the corner and have many cubby holes for organization (which should go relatively unused or have the juxtaposition of the papers haphazardly thrown into the slots).

Since the player would have to pass through the room to enter the hole in the wall, I wanted to tuck the desk off to the side to create an open area for the player to wander through to get to the hole.

The team agreed to the changes and they made it into the final room layout.
