Paku: the Axolotl Bomber
Axolotls have been used for science experiments for years for their remarkable ability to regenerate body parts. I wanted to create an axolotl character who escaped from a laboratory and swore revenge on the evil scientists who experimented on him. Paku is clever, mischievous, and a little crazy. He fights villains with his self-made, remote control, bomb-dropping drones.

Mr. Squirrel's Home
Mr. Squirrel is an artist who makes oil paintings and insect taxidermy. He enjoys cooking, gardening, and basking in the sun.
Mr. Squirrel’s crowded but cozy cabin provides comfort and solitude for him to live and work in. The first floor is the living area with a sofa bed, fireplace and kitchen counter. The second floor is his workspace. The indoor area is the specimen preparation workstation, while one of the balconies serves as a gardening and painting area.
The Little Witch in the Atthic
Rowan is a 13-year old girl with a strong interest in witchcraft. She is timid and quirky, and is a loner at school. She likes wandering around the town, picking up trash as her witchcraft materials. Recently, she accidentally summoned a cat demon in her attic.
Mafloga is the three-eyed cat demon that Rowan accidentally summoned. A black flame burns all over its body except for its wounded left ear. Because of Rowan's immature witchcraft, Mafloga is too weak to maintain its demon shape and has to transform into a black cat.
Rowan lives with her grandparents who run a failing second-hand shop. Her room is in the attic of the shop.
Echoing
This is a two-person cooperative game design project. I am responsible for the design and modeling of the protagonist and NPCs, while my teammate Helen Lang is responsible for the environment.
In the story, the protagonist hides in a smuggling boat to flee abroad. When the boat docks at a small gloomy fishing town called Innsmouth, he sees his wife who should have been dead. After entering the town to investigate, the protagonist gradually realizes that everything before him is his fantasy. In actuality, he is a descendent of the Deep Ones, a marine race who serves the fish god Dagon. Hearing the calling of Dagon, the protagonist returns to the sea in the end.

Liber-Land Lion Park
This is a two-person collaborative project with Audrey Chen. I’m responsible for a series of character designs for the story written by Audrey.
The story is about an old man Denis building a wildlife park, Liber-land Lion Park (inspired by the Taigan Lion park located in Crimea). The story has five chapters, each from the perspective of a different lion character who is rescued by Denis and the veterinarian Jas. As the story progresses, the zoo gradually becomes a paradise for wildlife. We wish to bring attention to wildlife rescue and protection through this project.
