Project Name: Love Letter
Studios: Love Letter Industries, Art of WEZ
Year: 2017 +
Product Type: 3D Animation based on Sonic the Hedgehog
My Role: Creator, Art Director, Concept Artist

"Life is a love letter from the universe, and what we do with our lives is a love letter back. "

I started this as a concept project as a love letter to life sim/farm sim games like Story of Season, Classic Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, ect.

Love Letter: Halycon Days

The most recent Love Letter project from 2024, I wanted to make a title reel proof-of-concept in Unreal Engine to practice Art Direction and concepting in 3D. I wanted to blend Rune Factory and Valkeryia Chronicles Aesthetics.
Below: Concept I made about halfway through this project

Below: Additionally I did a bunch of mock ups as if this was set in another beloved IP, it was a lot of fun doing my own versions on iconic logos.

Tikibara Lagoon

This was the first Project in Love Letter where I visioned a village on a lagoon that would have a ton of activities from fishing to running an antique store.
