RASPBERRY DREAM LAND
Raspberry Dream Land is a multi-sensory social WebXR platform facilitating an all-inclusive, safe, and explorative space for radical self-expression, progressive arts and entertainment, social interactions and virtual relationships. RDL is currently in a closed alpha and will release a feature complete beta at the end of 2022. As the Lead Environment Artist at RDL my work has played a significant role in developing the visual identity of the company.
Visit website for more information. Below are several projects I worked on for RDL with accreditations provided.

HOME PODS AND ALEMENTALS
Alementals are a series of 138 unique Characters designed and built by the 3D art team, lead by Kyle Baerlocher and Brian Sanchez. Using a system of procedural randomization and rarity values, thousands of unique combinations can be generated for use in RDLand worlds. Alementals will be available for use in Beta.
The Home pods are a similarly modular system I developed to act as customizable home spaces for players, where they can import their own assets, feature their artwork, and host virtual social gatherings of their choosing.

STELLART GALLERY
The NFT Gallery is a virtual space imagined by Angelina Aleksandrovich and Zoe McCarthy to display the artworks of the metaverse. Albeit still a work in progress, it will be widely accessible via webVR by the end of 2021.
The space is designed to emulate the isometric, illusory designs of MC Escher and Monument valley; however, it takes the abstracted designs even further by placing the viewer inside of the architecture, providing the opportunity to navigate and inhabit the space. Rolling NFT exhibitions will be featured, changing on a monthly basis.
