Miscellaneous
Here's some other stuff I've done and want to share!
radishark art
I have fun making art that I post under radishark art (Instagram:@radishark_art, previously @raddishradish). I post pretty sporadically, but I mostly create fanart in the form of digital illustration. More recently, I've been trying to do simple animations and also molding air dry clay!Timeline: December 2018 - present
Tools: Adobe Photoshop or MediBang Paint for digital illustration
Fizz Buzz the Wizard Lizard
A character with abilities designed for a group board game, developed solo for Design | Media Arts 157: Game Design at UCLA, taught by Professor Sam Malabre and TA TJ Shin.This gecko thinks he's gifted with magical powers. Nobody has the heart to tell him the truth of his mundanity, so they play along with his antics. When Fizz Buzz falls below an energy threshold, he loses his wizard hat, and with it, the ability to cast spells (wizard cards). Fizz Buzz's spell cost can be decreased if there are character adjacent to him (believers) helping to convince him of his wizardry. The energy, believer, and threshold tokens are placed on the character sheet to track their respective quantities. The wizard hat can be removed from the character piece to show that Fizz Buzz can't cast spells.
