Brawlhalla - Sasuke Uchiha (Dullahan Jiro) Mod
Inspired by Sasuke Uchiha from the Naruto series, I designed this skin mod over the legend Jiro from Brawlhalla due to their similar play/fight style. It took me a week and a half to complete using GIMP and Inkscape, and I had to work around the base skin having no mouth/nose, but I adapted well.
Smash Land Demo
Growing up I've always been a huge fan of the Super Smash Bros series by Nintendo as well as any fan games of it. I also love what the Gameboy is capable of so using GB Studio I designed a Smash Bros demo as I've always envisioned a port of the game on the Gameboy. It has been challenging to work with the memory limitations on an older console but it has been fun adapting nonetheless. I used a Gameboy Color inspired Smash Bros demake's character model for the sprites and as that game was still made for PC, my demo is made to run natively on Gameboy emulators.
