Example 1: Hope is a 3rd person puzzle game with a focus on story. My intention was to display a world that had been rocked by the horrors of war.

My Contribution: I was the designer/developer of Hope. All art, programming, and animation was done by me.  

Example 2: Tale of a Knight is a 3rd person action hack and slash game. My intention was to create a stylized fantasy game like Ray Man.

My Contribution: I was the designer/developer of Tale of a Knight. All art, programming, and animation was done by me.

Example 3: Modeling/3dGeometry; My first image is me studying the head geometry from the web site Hippydrome, (http://hippydrome.com/). My next images were of shipping containers that were made into temporary homes for oil rig workers.

My Contribution: I was responsible for editing the images and creating the model.

Other Contribution: Photos were taken by Christina J. Lopez

Example 4: Rigging; first video was of me learning how to create a rigged foot that moved anatomically correct. My next video was the rig I made for Hope showing her walk cycle.

My Contribution: All of the rigging and skinning was done by me.
