Tradigital Mythmaking: Juan and the Magic Tree

2008

Interned under professor H. Rall at the School of Art, Design & Media, Nanyang Technological University for the story of Juan under the Tradigital Mythmaking project. As a development artist, I documented the lead designer C. Chua’s art style for the purpose of communicating the visual style of the project. I also ideated for concept and pre-production art beyond the scope of the visual style in explorations of the setup and characters. At the end of the project, I organised and compiled all files from the development artists for submission to the booklet designer. Artwork outlined in red are mine.
