Series: Your Story Universe
Role: Game Artist
NBCU’s Series: Your Story Universe was a visual novel/dating simulator game that was developed by Endless Entertainment. It featured various IP stories like Saved By The Bell, Bridesmaids and Law & Order, and also had multiple original stories to play. I worked primarily as an artist on the dating games, concepting and providing art direction for characters, outfits, and backgrounds.
Character Studies
There was an original project where the concept art team was tasked with drafting fast turnaround character studies. I took pre-written character briefs from the narrative team and used them for my concepts. This character study was green lit for continued exploration as a love interest whose gender would be determined by player preference at the start of the game.
Love Island
My last project at Endless Entertainment was concept work and art direction for the pilot of Series: Your Story Universe’s Love Island. I was tasked with designing backgrounds and six love interests for the player. I drafted briefs (like the Couples Cabana below) to give to the outsource artists and provide art direction through rounds of feedback.
Part way through we had to pivot from outsourcing, and the team experimented with new art styles internally. I used a couple of my own character briefs for in-house concepts when we needed to compare rendering styles quickly (last).
Law & Order
Most of the final game art was outsourced. I designed characters, outfits, and environments, and the concepts were sent to the artists to produce. This process often went through several rounds of feedback and draw overs on Basecamp.
Below are a few of the final outsourced products I had designed and art directed for an episode of Law & Order.
