Meriwether 2017
A game based on the Lewis and Clark Expedition inspired by the book, "Undaunted Courage" by Stephen Ambrose. It was funded through a Kickstarter campaign by Brooklyn game developer, Josh DeBonis. The game was made with Unity using a small crew which included a full-time Lewis and Clark historian, Barbara Clark. I was the Art Director and Principal Character Artist on the project.
Stylistically, we were trying to bend realism around artwork from the era. Specifically, Charles Wilson Peale's paintings (above) of celebrated Americans which included Meriwether Lewis and the gorgeous travelogue paintings of Native Americans by Carl Bodmer.
The game has recently been released on Steam.
