Reality Resort Prop Designs
2024-Present
Reality Resort is an ongoing YouTube animated series created by Cove and is inspired by various reality competition shows such as Big Brother. In the show, 16 contestants are invited to stay in a luxury resort to compete for the grand prize of $250,000.
After the first episode’s premiere, I became a fan of the project and applied for the props/assets artist position and have been working on prop designs for the show since August 2024. I’ve designed various props from scratch, based on supplied concept art, or alternate versions of premade designs. All designs were produced from Illustrator with direction from either Cove or one of the storyboard/layout artists.

Soda Can (original and crushed).
Loser Boat (additional angles from previous designs).
Sydney Opera House and Pyramid Challenge Props (additional angles from previous designs).
Aside from props, I’ve helped design a few graphics such as lower thirds used when characters are giving testimonials to the audience. The idea was to take the teams’ pre-designed logos and add a lower third with the characters’ names and occupation, with the graphic having a slanted edge for a sense of energy and action. I initially designed the still graphic and our storyboard director, Angie, created a template for how they could be animated. Since then, I’ve used her template to produce new lower thirds for future episodes.
