Splash art done for the game's win screen, webpage, and trailer
Ramen Rush
I had the pleasure of modeling, texturing, and animating 3D game assets, as well as painting concept and promo/splash art for CMDC Studios in what may be the most ambitious project our group has released. Collaborating with other teams, I used Blender and Substance 3D Painter to produce the majority of the game's 3D assets, painted character concepts and promo/splash art with Photoshop, and created a looping animated video in Blender and After Effects.
Part of the Leadership Team during the initial game jam project, I later served as the art director for the Extended Development Team, which completed the polished, final version of Ramen Rush.
Ramen Rush challenges players to cook, prepare, and serve six types of fantastical ramen to patrons of the Night Market. Only by serving customers quickly and accurately can you obtain a 5-star ranking and elevate your ramen dreams to perfection.
