Art Direction / Concept Art / Game Artwork
(Original Release & part-time on DLC Content)

Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is a hand-drawn adventure following a lost gibbon as they embark on a dangerous journey into unknown lands exploring the beautiful wilderness and learning about the destructive force of human civilisation.

I had many responsibilities during the project which included; art directing an art team, creating concept art, creating in-game assets, designing characters, creating storyboards, designing UI and logos. I was brought onto the project when the game was still in prototype phase and initially I worked with the Broken Rules team to create concept art and a direction for the visuals. I created art assets for the game and developed a colour palette that favoured communicating gameplay and emotional moods that supported the narrative.

During the development my jobs also included overseeing the art implementation, collaborating with a variety of art disciplines, planning meetings with the art team and giving feedback on completed work.

Artwork / Writing

Tangle Tower is a 2D murder mystery point and click game and one of the first launch titles on the Apple Arcade.

My initial responsibilities were to work on background art much like I did on the on Tangle Tower’s predecessor, Detective Grimoire: Secret of the Swamp. My role grew substantially throughout the development and I ended up working on character designs, clue artwork, puzzle art and even co-writing the story with the creative director Adam Vian.

I designed over 20 different environments/rooms, 40+ clues, created early logo designs, promo art and pages of character sketches. We spent weeks piecing together the whole narrative arc, figuring out key plot points and developing characters. Working on the story made me invest in the project in a way I’ve never done before. I appreciated this holistic approach as it enriched my art and it’s a process I want to carry forward in future projects.

Tangle Tower is the most creatively involved I’ve been with on a project to date.
