Burnout

2024-2025

Software: Z-Brush, Autodesk Maya, Adobe Substance Painter, Nuke

Project duration: 6 months

A young and fierce 16-year old Azel must navigate the harsh landscapes of Haven City. After losing her father to a shared illness, Azel must decide between her dreams of grandeur and her life.

Young Azel

Alongside my team, we analyzed and reimagined how a 'dystopian' world may feel for little girls and families. 

How do clothes change over time? 

What would a day-to-day life look for a young girl living in a desert wasteland?

Adult Azel

As Azel's mind descends into desperation, her physical appearance changes alongside it.

After my colleague Will Larsen created the Version 1 base textures, I went for a Version 2 second pass, adding  extra character personality touch-ups.

Adult's Helmet

inspired by Chinese Peking Theatre Masks, I designed Azel's helmet to reflect her stubborn, intense personality.

Tonee the Pharmacist

For this quirky robot pharmacist, I worked with my team to conceptualize an eerie feeling, borrowing clothes from both nurses and corporate outfits.

Locker Room Textures & Lighting

In this scene, our character's health is declining rapidly and the room is textured to reflect her inner state.

After a few variations, we decided to go with a yellow-green aura, as it creates an atmopshere of discomfort and rot.
