“Spellbearers” game by Whim Independent Studios LLC.
“The Art of Spellbearers” is a small book highlighting artwork found in the game and developmental concept art. As the Artbook Designer, I gathered art assets created from artists of whimindie for the layout, worked with font styles and color themes for the pages, and I also designed a few art assets specifically for the artbook (e.g. the golden frame seen below).
I was the UI Artist for the developmental team of “Spellbearers”. As their UI Artist I created concept art for the various menu pages, digitally painted some backgrounds, and designed key graphics such as buttons, cursors, typography, maps, frames, and other needed user assets.
Each design for the titles for the boss names and level names were inspired by characteristics of the enemies and the environmental art of the specific level. I drew a concept outline of the typography and details above in Procreate, and then I took it into Adobe Illustrator to finish the final font. Below, I created the banners and glow around the banners. My path for the final result was similar to what I did for the designed font above.
From Concept
If parts of the game was already finalized and in place (such as the gameplay background behind) I would use the screenshot as a guide for the concept. For this concept, I drew the from in Procreate, then took it to Adobe Illustrator to create the rest of the concept.
To Final
Once the concept was approved, I built the frame and full controller in Adobe Illustrator.
Marketing Graphic Designer and Social Media Manager
I have been one of the graphic designers on whimindie’s Marketing Team, as well as their Social Media Manager for two years while Spellbearers was in development. I have skills in video editing, so I also act as one of their Video Editors for their game trailers. During our Spellbearers Kickstarter Campaign, I created their launch trailer in Adobe Preimere Pro. Below the trailer are some of the posts I designed for their Instagram and Twitter.
