Overview
I designed the complete visual experience for an iGaming slot project called Dead Mens Deal. This project involved crafting everything from the atmospheric backgrounds and detailed slot icons to the user interface and fluid animations.
By leveraging modern 2D animation software and AI for rapid conceptualization, I built a cohesive and engaging casino game aesthetic from the ground up.

Graphic Design &
Visuals
Kicking off the project was the visual work, where I had to create the diverse slot icons, immersive backgrounds, and the overarching aesthetic.
I established the dark, thrilling theme of the game, ensuring every visual element felt cohesive, striking, and perfectly suited for the screen.
Spine2D Animation
Creating compelling design is one thing, but keeping the dynamic nature of slot games in mind while forging your ideas is another.
I used Spine2D to bring all of these graphics to life. I animated the slot symbols, user interface elements, and background details, giving the game the energetic feedback and fluid movement that makes iGaming so engaging.
AI Asset Generation
To maintain a rapid production pace without sacrificing quality, I integrated AI generation into my early workflow. I used targeted prompting to quickly iterate through dozens of visual concepts and establish foundational bases for my assets.
From there, I manually refined, painted over, and polished these generated bases to ensure they perfectly matched the game's bespoke, high-quality art style.
RESULTS
Delivering the full visual package for "Dead Mens Deal" was a massive undertaking that significantly leveled up my game art pipeline. Taking a project entirely from a blank canvas to a fully animated, interactive state proved my ability to manage complex, multi-layered visual ecosystems independently.
I am incredibly proud of the cohesive world I built for this game, and I walked away with a highly refined technical and artistic toolkit.
Key takeaways from this project include:
- Managing an end-to-end production pipeline for iGaming assets as a solo visual designer
- Developing highly efficient workflows that blend rapid AI iteration with precise manual digital painting
- Elevating static 2D art into dynamic, game-ready assets through advanced skeletal animation in Spine2D
- Balancing strong thematic art direciton with clear, accessible UI design
