Broken Council User Interface Design

I was hired to create the User Interface graphics for Broken Council which is an in-development for Xbox Live Indie Game.

First I created 3 different User Interface style concepts for the client to choose from.

Then the final design was based off the dark theme.

The first section is the Main Menu Screens.
Start Screen

Options Menu

Load Menu (Save Menu uses same layout)

The second section is the Pause Menu and In-game Screens
These screens use a stand-in image for the in-game graphics to be shown in the background.

The Health and Mana bars are constructed in layers with a grey background, simple green and blue bars that scale to show the amount and a solid overlay graphic with transparent windows over the bars for extra shape and detail.

I did the baseball pitcher animation and preliminary layout, modelling and texturing work on the backgrounds for this game for Mini Monster Media.com/.

It has recently been used as a part of a TV advertisement on ESPN for their ESPN arcade flash games website.

The rest of the art was created by another Kiwi Peter Laurent.

Happy Neutral Sad

I made these 3 looping idle animations showing a girl in Happy, Neutral and Sad emotional states for an art test.

I did animation and creating extra facial controls only. The rigged girl model was provided.
