Sketchbook: Justin Motton

Jmotastic

Hey everybody, I figured it would be nice to see where I started with all of my art and to track my progress. I'm going to add the dates of when I finished the projects under the screenshots just as a reminder. I am completely open to critiques/feedback and it will be nice seeing how everyone else progresses with their sketchbooks.

One of my favorite earlier props to create. I was actually doing a tutorial at the time, but I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a different concept.

This is from the Global Game Jam in 2019 where our team won.
Here's a link to the site page if you want to play our game Sweeter With Company. https://globalgamejam.org/2019/games/sweeter-company

I had an awesome time creating art for this game.

Clay Mccormick - Lead Programmer, UI Design
Me/Justin Motton - Lead Environment Artist, FX Artist
Armando Dominguez - Lead Character Artist, Rigging, Animation
Daniel K. Hammond - Lead Designer, Additional Programming

The theme around this Game Jam was "Home". "To us, Home means many things: love, family, together, comfort. But you can’t stay at home forever. Sweeter with Company is about the journey away from home and finding that feeling of being home wherever you go. Home is not always a place and you share that joy with others."

This is something I love to look back on because we all had fun making this game as a team. We all put a little bit of ourselves into this. 


Shoutout to Clay for setting up the Main Menu in the above screenshot.

Here are some shots of the environment art I did on my Senior Capstone game Lantern. Lantern is a 2.5D Puzzle-Platformer deep game that focuses on relationship dependency between our characters Nomad and Lantern.

When I did the treasure book model from before based on this concept from Jack. I really wanted to build an environment around that book and I felt that a Pirate themed environment would really fit that.

Here's is the Love Potion which was based on a concept by Tanya Maksimuk from the Legend of King Arthur Challenge a while back.

I thought it was a really cool concept and I also thought it would be a good challenge for me to step out of my comfort zone.
