Concept and Art Direction Bits - Kiz Studios

This robot got re-used all over everything the studio did after I drew him.

SmashMuck was an early MOBA that didn't take itself seriously. We had to keep one foot in the original kid-focused IP.

If I could make SmashMuck forever I would. Everything was like a TMNT or He-Man character.

This was the original pitch sketch for SMC.

The travelling mini-game circus guys from the "Skylanders" style MMO we never shipped.

I did tons of illustrations for book inserts and menu backgrounds and so on.

We needed kid-friendly combat that was also "toyetic." Which meant blasters, but I wanted to avoid triggers completely so everything is switches or cranks or nozzles, etc. These were some of the first concepts for the MMO project I made.

Can you tell I did a lot of hand drafting in college?
