Mononeko is a 2D action rhythm game where you play as Tam, a "destined-to-be-lucky" cat, who resurrects kittens in a quest for vengeance: to catch the killers who have murdered them in cold blood! I worked with the indie game studio, Ribeye Games.

I was a concept art & animation lead for this project. I worked on various key game character designs, animations, and assets. Scroll below to see my work & process.

Note: Due to issues with production costs, Mononeko development has been indefinitely suspended.

Turnarounds & expression sheet references I made for animation. Used to guide both myself and for the art team.

Full 2D game sprite animations I did fully by myself, from rough sketches, to keyframing, to clean-up and color.

Animation where I worked as a Lead Keyframer, & passed down said keyframes to the art team for in-betweening.

Character exploration based on prompts given by the Studio director. Instructions & artist agency vary.

Exploration of potential character movement for various attacks and in-game states, before final animation.

Other art pieces which were used for mechanics in game, but not necessarily for characters.
