"In another life,"

Characters from Yakuza 5

Programs used: Aseprite, Blender

"Big Chilling" (2024)

Characters from Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Programs used: Blender, Aseprite

"Meow Miau Moo" (2022)

Where did all these creatures come from? They seem hard at work, under the guise of night. You can't help but feel inclined to join them in their antics...

Programs used: Maya, Substance Painter, Procreate, Photoshop

I drew most of my inspiration from I Spy books

I later re-posed the character in Blender and re-did its materials using Blender's shader nodes to practice making NPR shaders.I rendered them to make them into stickers!

Programs used: Blender (rigging, lighting, compositing), Clip Studio Paint (compositing)

"✦Wanderland ✦" (2023)

A deceptively charming city of your own creation. Reality seeps in when you drift closer to the shores. Isn't it about time you stopped having imaginary friends?

Programs used: Procreate, Clip Studio Paint Pro, Blender, Unity

Animated pixel sprites of Bonhwa for an assignment in Unity 2D.

Programs used: Aseprite

WORK IN PROGRESS

Character Design: "Atlas"

A laid-back space nomad on an aimless journey through the vast universe, going with the flow of his travels.

Programs used: Maya, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint Pro

WORK IN PROGRESS

I re-modeled, textured, and animated Atlas in Blender in a low-poly style, to continue practicing modeling and rigging humanoid characters.

Programs used: Blender (modeling, rigging, lighting, animation), Aseprite (texturing)

Atlas' initial concept was born from wanting to see an absurd amount of hair stuffed into a tiny helmet. I drew a lot from Kaiba (2008) for his character's visual direction.

Character Design: "Aed"

A spoiled fae with too much power and time on his hands for his own good.

Programs used: Procreate, Zbrush

Aed was designed for a fantasy role-playing Discord server. I wanted to play as a character that is highly attuned to magic but physically unimpressive.

Character Design: "Bbang"

A peppy and determined up-and-coming baker!

Programs used: Procreate (sketching), Zbrush (sculpting, texturing)

A personal project to practice modeling in Blender. Bbang is her unofficial name!

Honey, I'm Home!

Honey, I'm Home! (2022) is a bee-themed board game for up to 4 players, made as the final project for Game Studio 1: Game Theory. Handcrafted in collaboration with Vee Szostek.

Rathskeller

A single-player action game that follows a violent drunkard wrecking havoc, tavern to tavern. Made as a group of 3 for a semester-long project. Made in Unity.Initial concept, game and combat design, audio mixing, and programming by Sebin Kim

KABEDON!

A 2-player role-playing physical improv game brimming with romantic tension. Made in 48 hours for the 2024 Global Game Jam.

April & Marisa (and Arnold)

Programmed and illustrated a short visual novel as an exercise on writing dialogue in Unity using Inky.
