Robin’s Role
For Caduceus Quest, I worked as the environmental artist and used storytelling in order to illustrate and bring each location to life. To do this, I researched different small towns and created a backstory for each location that resonated with the characters. After creating the background art, I imported them into Unity where I implemented scenes and tested the collisions. Additionally, I designed the UI to be cohesive to the game art style and easy to read.
Player walking through hospital I illustrated, designed, and created the background art for.
A few of the 100+ assets I illustrated as part of the environmental artist.
A floor plan and preplanning stages of the mayor's office background along with the final product.
Stages of turning my illustrations into isometric assets and recoloring for the final game.
Concept art of different potential locations and biomes.
Concept art for UI for showing map and character location.
