She is a more experienced park ranger, so she has a pension has a penchant for doing solo patrols. She struggles to accept gifts and compliments due to her rough upbringing.

Background Layout

This is a background I made for a character blocking exercise.

Background inspiration: I was inspired by the ominous greys and insolaed locations of Silent hill and Alan Wake

Initial drafts: I chose the 2nd background because it offers the strongest balance between storytelling of seeing the graffiti and the visual composition of the leading lines of the foot path guiding the viewers eyes to the abandoned store.

Final Background:

Final video for an assessment about camera position, background and learning character blocking. The Animation Layout features Cade running inside the abandoned supermarket.

Process:

Guts and grocerices : comic

An original comic created to sell at SCAMP Comic (2025). I created the comic in a week due to being busy with Uni, so I had to lower the scope of the project by lowering the page count and scraping my inital cover design for a more simple conept. But, overally i happy with how it turned out.

GUTS AND GROCERIES

Portal X

My AIT scholarship-winning comic (2024)

Portal X is a complete short comic I created as my submission to the AIT scholarship competition. The theme for that year was to create a way for the fictional company of time splice to launch their new Portal X portal creation watch.Creating this story was quite cathartic to me since I felt overwhelmed after finishing the HSC and realising that I would no longer see my friends as often as I used to.In the comic, Mia is feeling lonely after being unable to see her friends the year after their graduation. But she then gets a mysterious gift which will change her life forever.
