Project In Development: Thing 12 Games

Board game company, Thing 12 Games, hired me to designed the characters for a potential card game. Although the main art for this project is complete, some of rules and design around the gameplay, as well as the final card design still need further iterations and testing. I am hopeful this product will be released to the public. It was a challenging and immersive project to undertake.

Taking the initial gameplay pitch, I created a “story” for myself around these characters: why they wear the uniforms they do, the various locations and mech that they interact with, even names for each of the creatures. Although none of these narrative elements will make it into the final product, these bits of background help me to “world build” and create characters with appeal.

Presented here are some early concept pieces as well as the final illustrations with prototype card UI.
