I worked with the lovely, supportive Jenny [her website] for her part in the GDC lightning game design talks! I’m sure her talk did wonderfully yesterday! 😀

Here is my artwork for her slides + ramble!

Collection of all the voxel art I’ve done for Crossy Road, Shooty Skies and Disney Crossy Road. I’ve designed and created voxel art that I specified [not everything] and you might have seen some of the concept art and studies I did. I’ll update with new screenshots as I go along.

A lot of gifs in this mega post!

Ramble!
I’m selective because trying my best to learn for every individual I meet can leave me too exhausted and burnt out to care anymore :’) This probably cuts me out from many potential bonding moments with kind company because I’m too aloof, tense, tired and socially overloaded 🙁

Please note I wrote this blog post at the time in 2015/2016! So it’s pretty outdated.

This is Part 1 of 2 parts of all the work I did for this project. I’m posting this now since I’ve already revealed what I’m allowed so far here in my NZGDC & GCAP Character Design talk slides in 2017 already.

Leonie rambles!
I’ve come across so many reputable artists talking about keeping sketchbooks all the time. Filling them, doing deliberate practice, studying and learning at tremendous speeds. That you have to have a sketchbook with you at all times. Fill up X number of pages a day, week, month, year.

That you *should* do this and that if you want *this career*.

There’s one side when friends know how you’re doing lately in a respectful way and it’s super heartwarming that they cared enough to keep tabs and spend the time to read my social media posts! Only a few but still!

I don’t talk much in person as it is like an awkward, introverted, quiet butt that I am, so thank youuu ♥

Rambling about energy and socialising.

Hey, I don’t have many extrovert friends but good ones are super pleasant, understanding, positive, entertaining and fun to be around! ♥
