ABOUT WHEELIESCOOT
I’m an artist, animator, character designer, and game developer. I love cute things and pastel colors; I also love dark concepts and gritty horror. I love exploring complex ideas through fun and exciting characters. I run an independent online shop selling my artwork. I’m currently developing my first game, a prequel to Spodyssey, titled In Stitches We Awake. I believe making great games takes three main concepts: interesting aesthetic, powerful story, and interactive and fun gameplay.

merch design and store management

I run an online shop (on an independent site and Etsy) with 400+ sales and 170+ five-star reviews! I love designing fun merchandise for both my original characters and media I love!

I love customizing my packaging to match each order.

Here's some designs from recent pre-orders and products coming up!

I have also done freelance merch design work for other projects!

character design

I adore creating characters, and using shape, color, and silhouette to portray the character’s personality visually.

I have created many characters for my own personal stories

I enjoy taking pre-existing characters and redesigning/reworking them. I like to use the strengths of the original design and see what I can adjust or suggest to improve it.

I have been digitally illustrating for 4+ years! I can create anything from simple, cute drawings to elaborate paintings.

I love to mix cuteness and horror, and I take careful consideration in my compositions and colors. I enjoy making original art and fanart!

I love playing around with color, texture, and filters.

Along with digital illustration, I also do traditional/marker art!

I adore game design! I strive to brainstorm well thought-out gameplay that is both enjoyable to the player and supports the story and themes of the overall game. I believe player interaction is vital to creating good games, and I want to make things that are not only fun, but are personally impactful and relatable to the player. I also believe gameplay is another form of storytelling, and that the best gameplay adds to a game’s writing in some way.

a short narrative top-down game exploring a patchwork village. Who lives there? Why, sentient dolls who worship the being who stitched them, of course. Pages of instructions, sheets and sheets of paper, on how each of them should be treated. Written by an artist who hates their own work.Are they cursed to hate themselves forever because of their critical creator? Or will they break free of the judgement and learn to love themselves?You are privy to it, but you have no choice in the matter.For they will always beIn stitches, when they awake.

sound design

I make music, specifically tracks for my games in development. I have also produced sound effects for my games. I have so much passion for sound design! I have years of experience in both theatre and choir, and play multiple instruments. Check out some of my tunes :)

COMPOSITION AND ARRANGEMENT

I am currently developing a game called "In Stitches We Awake". Here are some tracks from the game, which all use the same leit motif!

These three songs use the same leitmotif, and represent one of my original characters. Each song represents a different emotional state.
