Hi, I’m Brianna, a professional Game Artist based in the United Kingdom.I have worked on projects of all kinds and sizes from super indie to AAA. I have significant experience in 2D Illustration, Animation and Concept Art - as well as adept knowledge in 3D Game Art for stylized and physics-based-rendering pipelines in Unity and Unreal Engine.My shipped titles include A44's Ashen, Weta Workshop’s Dr. Grordbort’s Invaders Invaders and Starcolt’s Best Friend Forever. Along with several unreleased titles like RiffRaff's Sleight of Hand.Beyond video games, I have a comprehensive understanding of rigging character models for real-time performance capture. To note, my work has been used by talent such as Ironmouse and has been featured on software developer Live2D's own educational resources. My illustration work can also be seen in the branding of the official Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards Partnered events.I am actively seeking new opportunities and would love to hear what you have planned next!

Illustration

As an Illustrator, I strive to push the boundaries of my own skill and am always seeking opportunities to explore new techniques and styles.Created in Adobe Photoshop.

Concept Art

Over the course of my career I have cultivated a talent in developing conceptual designs for logos, merch, characters, environments, vehicles and props. From exploratory concepts to final in-engine renders, I am an expert at the whole process. This means I can optimize my work for any part of an internal pipeline and in a way that supports fellow artists, programmers or designers down the line.I can adapt to almost any art style or level of detail and have worked both with heavily-stylized and realistic art directions.Created in Adobe Photoshop and Maya.

2D Tech Artist / 2019 - present

What started as an experiment during development of Best Friend Forever, turned into a passion for discovery and innovation. Utilizing the Live2D Cubism SDK for Unity, I bridge the gap between static art and performance-ready characters.I create live-action performance capture ready rigs with dynamic physics for my clients, which are able to be used for games, films and live production.This process includes skills and techniques such as:- Rigging, skinning and deformer hierarchy management.
- Dynamic Systems, conditional physics, blend shapes and animation
- Optimized project files and model rigs.Throughout the development lifecycle with clients, I provide iterative test builds, address technical inquiries, and bridge knowledge gaps to reduce miscommunication. I make sure to communicate both to my client and model artist potential project risks or bottlenecks to ensure a successful delivery of assets.

With your four-legged companion by your side, meet, woo and cherish the many cuties of Rainbow Bay’s thriving singles scene.I worked the sole artist of the project and was in charge of all art related assets. This includes, but not limited to concept art, environments, characters, graphic design, rigging and animation.
