Narwhalnut

My name is Oliver “Narwhalnut” Cooksey. I am a game designer and artist. No matter the medium, I always aim to create worlds full of whimsy and fun.

 

I am inspired by many retro video games. Some of my favorite games include Super Mario World, Mega Man 2, Pokémon Crystal, and Kirby’s Adventure.

​

How I Work

My strongest mediums include pixel art, acrylic paint, and digital illustration. I am experienced in GNU Image Manipulation Program, Photoshop, and Clip Studio Paint. For game development, I use GameMaker Studio 2 and Unity.

Education

I am currently studying Computer Science at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. I am an intern at Plow Digital and Plow Games where I draw computer graphics.
