'Project Camellia' Webtoon

Straight-laced Xiao Hua is tasked with retrieving a mystical artifact known as the Golden Camellia. Along the way he crosses paths with a mysterious young man that goes by the name 'Feng', who pulls him into a chaotic world of heists, opulence, and deceit.
Below is the beginning excerpt.


'Decay' Game Project

Decay was made during a week-long game jam with a team of two people. I mainly worked on concept, art assets, and animations.
Here is a short demo of the gameplay.


About

Howdy! I'm a recent Sheridan grad who's interested in hand-drawn animation, storyboarding, and concept art. Though, I like to think of myself as a generalist, too!I'm pretty tech savvy and good at problem solving, plus I'm well-versed in Harmony (the node view is my one true love). I'm a fast learner so I'm positive I can make a great addition to your team!Though I'd love to be animating 24/7, I also like playing guitar, writing music, and making games. I can also yo-yo.
