Phobic Studios
Creating Glare was one of the best experiences of my life. I was the lead Art Director on this project and led a small but, amazingly talented team. Everyone had to wear all the hats to pull this off. I was responsible for directing and approving all art assets, assuring that they aligned with the look and feel of the game. I was also the primary environment artist on most levels, sculpting terrain with a custom built tool. I directed the design of a modular system of building models. That was designed in such a way that allowed us to create an endless variety of building configurations from just a small library of assets. I pitched in wherever I could, learning lighting on the fly, designing sprite animations for effects. Modeling the occasional asset or character animation.
