MAGD 487 Project

Sara Joyce, Artist, Senior; Tessa Joyce, Artist, Senior

Hello! We are Sara and Tessa Joyce, a pair of twins who want to work as concept artists in the video game industry. This work is from one of our capstone classes, MAGD 487 Portfolio Development. We designed four characters that would make up a hypothetical party in a fantasy role-playing game such as Dungeons & Dragons: the Sorcerer, the Monk, the Warlock, and the Ranger. We hope you enjoy seeing the process we went through in designing these characters.

Sara Joyce’s Concept Art & Splash Art

Sara Joyce, Artist, Junior

My goal is to become a character concept artist for digital and tabletop games. I’ve provided some work I did in my free time during the 2019-2020 school year, mostly of my Dungeons & Dragons characters. Two pieces are of one character called Greenbriar, with the first piece showing multiple iterations of his design, and the other being finished splash art. The last two pieces are reference sheets for another two characters. One image is included below – click on the link to explore all of images in Deviant Art.
