Turtle Warriors
About the Game
Turtle Warriors is an educational mobile game designed to raise awareness about the challenges that turtles face in their natural habitats. Players take control of a turtle and must complete minigames to earn rewards that can be used to fight pollution and clear debris on the island.
My Role
I worked as the Lead Artist on Turtle Warriors. My responsibilities included designing the overall visual style, creating 3D assets, and ensuring the environments and characters matched the educational tone of the game. I produced models, textures, and animations in Blender, then optimized them for performance on mobile devices. I also collaborated closely with designers and programmers to make sure the art supported gameplay and storytelling.
What I Learned
This project was my first time using Blender, and over the course of the semester I learned the software from scratch. I developed skills in low-poly modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, and basic animation workflows. I also learned how to work within the technical limitations of a mobile game, optimizing models without sacrificing quality. Beyond the software, I gained experience in art direction by maintaining a consistent style across the project.
