ULTROS
Lead Animator | Artist | VFX Artist
2D Metroidvania
Ultros is a 2D Metroidvania set in a fantastical world teeming with alien flora and fauna.
I created the majority of animations for the bosses, NPCs, most cinematic animations, a chunk of the enemy animations and additional animations for the player character. I also did polish and additional VFX.
I worked in close collaboration with the other artists on the project, in particular Roberto Kontosic who rendered the majority of my 2D animations and Niklas Åkerblad on various art assets.
THE OWLCHEMIST:MIRE OF MALICE
Character Animator | VFX Artist | Technical Artist
Student project at FutureGames.
The Owlchemist: Mire of Malice is a gloomy exploration game where you play as an elderly owl seeking to cure the land of corruption. It was made by me and eleven other students during a 7 week game project at FutureGames.
I created all of the VFX, most of the shaders and all of the animations for the player character, of which there are nine in total, as well as worked with the cloth physics for her cape.
Below are a few samples of the animations in Maya without the cape.
SUMMIT
Creature Modeller/Rigger/Animator | VFX Artist | Technical Artist
Student project at FutureGames.
SUMMIT is a colorful, stylized puzzle-platformer where you make your way to the top of an ancient tower to recover your crashed vehicle. It was made by me and eleven other students during a 4 week game project at FutureGames.
I created all of the VFX, the majority of shaders, did all of the lighting, as well as the final boss and enemies.
This project was the first time I had animated something for a game.
The lower video showcases the final boss in game.
Below you can see the rigged boss and a few of her animations, as well as the jellyfish enemy's idle animation.
The game is available for free at Itch.io!
