WDS Game Collaboration

My Collaboration with WDS Game
From March to October 2021, I worked on-site at WDS Game as a game art assistant, contributing UI and in-game art to several mobile titles, including games based on the Yeloli IP.

From 2023 to 2024, I continued as a remote art collaborator, supporting WDS Game with full-pipeline 3D and 2D production across multiple projects. This included character production and visual assets for the Yeloli mobile game series, as well as art assets, UI, and promotional graphics for other WDS titles.

Character Skin Design

For this Yeloli mobile game character, I designed a total of 10 new skins. Each skin has its own distinct visual style and theme. The smaller character models shown on the left and right are the original in-game designs for comparison.

New Game Characters

For the Yeloli mobile game, I created 5 brand-new playable characters. Each character was produced with a set of 13 animations, including buff, idle, death, faint, skill casts and other combat actions.

In the original animated series, these characters appear in a high-resolution, semi-realistic anime style.

For the game adaptation, I first redesigned each hero into a chibi / Q-style version, then created production-ready assets through a full 3D pipeline: concept refinement → modeling → UV layout → texturing → rigging and skinning, ensuring the characters read clearly on mobile screens while preserving their signature silhouettes and personality.
