My role

My role in this project was Lead Artist and Artist Manager, inheriting this project from a former team and working together with a Pyro Studios resident team.

This project was an unsuccessful MMO based on social interaction in the style of Second Life, to which game mechanics related to dance competitions were added.

Also produced a couple of commercials.

Animated commercial

I created an animated commercial for the game Terror’s Seed using animated photo compositing of all kinds of disturbing elements: dark forests, animals, storms, laboratories, monsters, etc. One of my most creative works, produced in very little time and with almost no resources.

“My Mahjong is now available for Mobile and PC! We’ve prepared quite a few Mahjong challenges for you, but, if you get tired of them… simply download the free PC version and design your own! Share your new Mahjong puzzles with the whole Zed Community!”

Developer: Zed Games
Publisher: Club Zed
Platform: PC

My role

This project was designed as a fresh and original Mahjong game. Far from Eastern aesthetics, it offers modern and dynamic designs. The original functionality included a battle mode and championships between characters and/or players, for which I had to develop some of my best visual FX to date. Unfortunately, only the solitaire mode was finally developed.

I created the graphic design for this project, all the card sets, the visual effects and the first character cast concept. The authorship of the backgrounds and the final character designs belongs to two other colleagues of mine.

My role

For the game Alexa, a kind of clone of the Marvel character Black Widow, I produced an animated commercial together with a colleague who handled the animation, using the visual style of the Metal Gear games of that era.

“Help Neenya Ninja, the worlds smartest ninja, defeat the evil army of robots who have stolen a whole lot of diamonds. Run through each level jumping over scary abyss and defeating terrible robots, whilst recovering as many of the diamonds as you can!”

Developer: Zed Games

Platform: JAVA

My role

Neenya Ninja was a reskin of the former game and was given the same development time. That’s why an illustrator joined the team. So it was a much more relaxed experience than the previous one.

This game won a prize from Pocket Gamer magazine, a PocketGamer Silver Award.

“The Crazy Pixies PIN and PUK are back again. Run, jump, battle the baddies and save the presents from their evilness so that the Pixies can enjoy a party!”

Developer: Zed Games
Publisher: Club Zed
Platform: JAVA

My role

It was the first platform game developed at the company, and the project was assigned less than three months for development, so this became a very intense and urgent development, marked by technical restrictions that were overcome in later projects. At that time, we had to carry out all the technical research, graphic production for an ambitious project, and a promotional animation video. Despite the circumstances, I was able to work on many of my own art ideas in this game.

I also created an animated commercial that was eventually broadcast on MTV Europe.

“Online Multiplayer Gang Action! Now it’s your turn to become Boss by running your own gang. Demand the respect you deserve… time to take over the city”.

Developer: Zed Games
Publisher: Club Zed
Platform: JAVA

My role

In this game, I worked together with our programmer to develop a 3D fake system and the associated graphic set in order to simulate a three-dimensional bird’s-eye view of the city. Basically, every building is composed of a roof image plus a facade created using repositioned and scaled primitives from the player’s point of view.
