Relentless Art Show

The Relentless art show is currently underway at the Bellis Gallery (8 – 9 Kings Road, Brighton). 9 artists are exhibiting work and I am one of them. The show runs from 1st - 23rd May. Here is a small selection of my hand painted pixel art. There is more to see at the show.

Demon Prince completed

It took a while but the Demon Prince character is finally completed.
You can view a high res version on game artisans HERE

Demon Prince

I have recently started a work in progress thread on http://www.gameartisans.org/ to showcase a game character that I have been working on. The thread can be found HERE

Photo-real Head test

This was a technical exercise in trying to create a photo realistic head in 3d Studio max and Mudbox. A more in depth work in progress can be found here

Kung Fu Master final render

It was a pretty busy christmas and new year but i managed to finish the kung fu master!



here's a video turntable of the model...

Kung Fu Master Sculpt

Here is the hi res sculpt. I'll work on the textures next.

Kung Fu Master

Here is a concept for a Hi-res 3d modelling project I'm about to start. I wanted to brush up on my sculpting skills and for the sake of technical detail I chose an elderly gentleman. I've also included the rough notepad sketches I did when designing the character. I always have a notepad next to my keyboard for brainstorming. These sketches are very crazy and loose. There are usually about 5 to 10 pages of them per character (it’s an A5 pad :)

Fable 2 Icons

In a past life I was the lead GUI artist on the Fable franchise for Xbox and Xbox 360. Although my GUI days are at an end, I do miss creating icons. I think it's the challenge of meticulously creating something pixel by pixel. Or having to communicate an idea within a 64 x 64 pixel square. Having Photoshop permanently zoomed in at 1600% isn’t fun though :). Here are some of them I created for Fable 2. Click on the image for more.

Mamlambo

This is an illustration based on an ancient African legend. The Mamlambo is a monster that is meant to feed on the brains of indigenous tribes. It's half horse and half fish. The painting was a competition entry. I didn't win. I think it was a little too abstract and simply too bizarre. I like it though :)

Big Blue Box Ident

This was one of the first assignments I had when I started working in the games industry 6 years ago. (Back when an artist’s jobs covered everything including GUI art, special effects, modelling and animation)
