RAD

RAD is a 3D action rogue-like set in a post-post-apocalyptic world, where humanity has faced armageddon not once, but twice. Playing as a teenage protagonist, you must venture into the Fallow — an ever-changing, radioactive wasteland filled with unknown and unspeakable creatures. But humanity’s future comes at great personal cost, as the deeper you journey into unknown lands, the more you will expose yourself to gnarly toxins which will wreak havoc on your fragile human form. The fate of the world depends on you, your trusty bat, and whatever strange new abilities you gain as the world around you ravages your body — twisting and mutating you into something far less than human, but far more powerful. But forget all that — go grab that sweet bat and help save the world…or what’s remaining of it anyway!

"Mender Tower" is an early concept piece I did for RAD. This piece was selected to be a part of 2019 Into the Pixel art show. https://www.intothepixel.com/artwork/2019_contest_winners.asp

I created the "Rad Skull" image for the Main Menu in the game and it was also used in marketing-related art. The skull has a Mohawk made of grass because the player character grows new life as they make their way through the wasteland.

An image I created for the "Quirky" update for RAD.

The three previous images were early concept explorations for the Menders -- a mysterious civilization that rose up from the ashes of the first apocalypse. They built great machines to heal the world only to be suddenly "Devoured" by some unknown force.

The Cracked Lands

An artifact from the Menders, this statue is found in a secret cave area, embedded in rock. Toxic sludge flows from within it to a nearby pool, almost as if this was part of a larger purification system that went wrong.
