First let me start off by saying I don't have any "official" game art/design experience. In 2007 I volunteered to lead the game design and development program at Lone Star College Kingwood. A desire to learn interactive technology and incoporate it into education was a driving force in Master's degree and currently in my job as an instructional designer/instructor.

While I enjoy coming up with gameplay ideas, I have really enjoyed creating 3D props and textures and for games. What you see here are props and textures I designed for some of my student projects, as well as some personal work.


PALLETE OF BOXES
PolyCount: 140
Game: D.N.A.I.

A palette full of cardboard boxes for the warehouse and storage level of a student game titled, D.N.A.I.

DICTATOR CANNON
PolyCount: 868
Game: Civil War

This was designed for a student game based on various battles of the Civil War. Using reference photos of the Dictator mortar cannon, I modeled and textured what you see here.

RUSTY MINECART
PolyCount: 525
Game: Downfall

Modeled for our student Steampunk western, Downfall, this minecart came out more classic than steampunkish. I loved the rust, but it was probably a bit too much. A more gray and steel version is also included.

SEWER WALL TEXTURE
Game: Predator (student game)

This tileable texture was created with four textures from CG Textures. Using a soft light blending mode in photoshop, the bottom color can be changed for different levels or different sections of one level.

SEWER GATE
PolyCount: 152
Game: Predator (student game)

One of the gates for the sewer level. Using this as a base, I simplified it for a few more versions. It also comes with a top part that sits right above it.
