Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons (2025)
I painted the game board for the Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons edition! It was a challenging task, combining above-ground areas like the City of Waterdeep with exterior as well as interior shots (yawning portal), with various underground places like the Arcane Chambers, all the way down to Wyllowwood.
It was very fun to be working in the Dungeons & Dragons universe and I did my best to be faithful to the locations, while also keeping things clean & clear in terms of gameplay. I hope everyone will enjoy playing this!

The Reluctant Redemption of Verity Lux
A story heavy game full of mystery and investigation: The Reluctant Redemption of Verity Lux. I had the opportunity to contribute these background paintings to the game. For most compositions, I was provided with a tiny pencil thumbnail for layout/composition, then built a 3D base, and finished by painting in Photoshop (and making sure everything is cleanly layered to allow for parallax effects ingame).
For some backgrounds, I worked with existing 3D assets, or modified existing Blender files made by Max Wilson.

Swords of Vengeance
A few years ago I had the fun opportunity to bring the world of ‘Swords of Vengeance’ to life, a pinball game based on the game Swords of Fury, telling new stories in an innovative way. Prior to working on this project I did not know that a pinball machine can be used to tell stories where player choices matter and lead to different story branches and story outcomes!
I was in charge of creating a style and design for the environments that fits the classical fantasy theme, works on a pinball machine screen, harmonizes with the existing character work, as well as creating final environment, prop and background paintings.
The character linework is done by Kassarie (Angela Lichtenberg), colors by me (campfire scene) or Yen Shu Liao (magma falls).
