WHAT IS DOGGONE HUNGRY?
DOGGONE HUNGRY is a casual PC game for all ages.
You play as DOG, a lovable but large Labrador Retriever whose only goal is to relax with his favorite toy, Quackerjack. Unfortunately, Quackerjack is always being stolen. Save him by eating food, getting larger, and become an unstoppable force!
CONCEPTS AND RESEARCH
This was the first time I worked with other artists on a project, so we made sure to create a thorough art bible to establish a clear creative vision between us.
It is inevitable that we would evolve beyond the initial mood boards, concepts, and colors during development, however, doing this process was important to reveal to us misinterpretations or visual grey areas we didn't think about, so we were able to have that conversation early on.

ENVIRONMENTS AND TEXTURES
After we had the bare minimum of furniture we needed in rooms, we moved onto making set dressing to bring rooms some personality.
We created a spreadsheet to list clutter we should make for each room. This made sure we weren't repeating what the other was doing and made it easy to divide for organizing sprints.
PORTRAITS AND MEMORIES
I illustrated the reward polaroids for the adorable in-game activity events.
