Tacti-Kidz Illustrations & Concept Art

Concept Art & Illustration I created for Tacti-Kidz. Tacti-Kidz is a 4v4 online, turn-based, tactical shooter. Players control costumed kids through an outlandish DIY "fort" environment in an epic toy gun battle. We aimed to create something visually unique, whimsical, and unrealistic. We played with the idea that much of what the player sees is the interpretation of the epic forts through the imaginative eyes of the children. Because our art direction focuses on lighting and wacky DIY forts and costumes, many of the concepts have lights built into the ideas. I created concepts for characters, environments, and props while set dressing and art and creative directing the project. You can find other related work that I did for this project in the Tacti-Kidz tab of my portfolio.
