Hi, I'm Wessel, and I make pretty things,
weird things, and things in between.
I'm a South African illustrator, graphic designer, and digital artist living in Cape Town. I'm really into video games, plants, cooking, crochet, and B-grade humour.
Game Projects
Paper Kingdom (working title) is a cosy little village building game. Or, rather, prototype. Currently in development with the help of some talented friends, it has been a great project to learn more about materials and shaders.
Enter The Titan is rogue-like, deckbuilding, turn-based platformer where you take down colossal enemies from the inside.
I worked on this project as lead artist on all the visuals, from concept art to execution, from UI icons to background art.
Be a bee: collect honey from flowers and upgrade your hive to be the best bee in the valley.
This was a game jam project where I worked as the game artist.
Another project that started out as an art prototype, Sadechi is currently in development as a game prototype with the help of some friends. Run across vibrant scenery as a majestic secretary bird while, ideally, feeling the vibe of some groovy tunes (tunes also currently in development).
Iconvetica
What started out as a hunt for some icons for a project turned into me starting assembly on my own set. With an emphasis on simplicity and catering towards RPG games in particular, the full (and ever growing) set currently consists of over 120 icons, metculously and lovingly crafted.
