ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm an artist with a special interest in The Transformers-franchise, and artwork focused on robots and mecha overall. While it's my specialty, I'm also capable to draw more humanoid characters, props, and more. My specialized area is character design, as it'll be shown in my portfolio and works so far. I mostly draw digital art, though also own a variety of traditional art supplies. I speak German as my mother tongue and am fluent in writing and speaking English.I am able to work confidently with Unity, Procreate, Paint Tool SAI 2, Ren'Py 8.5 and Adobe After Effects 2023.

PROJECTS

Prototype I(Eye)

The task was to create a playable prototype with environmental storytelling. Over the time of 2 months I worked with Unity, Blender and Substance Painter, and acquired basic knowledge in all of these programs. The prototype is about the topic "mental health, selfharm and addiction", meant to show an insight into the mind of a person suffering with these conditions, and visualize it for a better understanding for those, who don't struggle with mental health. The prototype is fully playable with sound (not shown in the video) and is available as a download link below.The prototype took about 2 months to make in my 1st semester; between November 2022 and January 2023.

Done in my 1st semester from October 2022 to February 2023.

They confront objects with bad memories, while an Entity follows them around.It features thought-out dialogue as well as a multiple-choice system; therefor, the player's decisions affect the outcome.This prototype was done during the 3rd semester from October 2023 to February 2024 with Bianca Bucher.
