MGS HD ULTIMATE!!
Very excited, my copy of MGS HD Limited Edtion just arrived, waking me up from a nap. But it came in a massive box! It’s like actual christmas time without the crap. I’d pre-ordered it long ago when it was first announced and then forgot about it until recently but only when it arrived as I excited. I can’t wait to play them but I was actually looking forward more to the art book which isn’t disappointing since 2/3 of it is new for me 
I have the art books for MGS 1 and 2 already but the work for 3 and Peace Walker is equally awesome and a great addition to the bookshelf. What was strange though was that they gave me 2 game cases, the regular HD collection and an empty steelcase but boy do I love steelcases so there’s no competition which one is going on my shelf. They also sent me a copy of MGS4 to make up for the change in contents of the limited edition but I’ve already got a signed copy anyway so this one’s going to have to find a new home.
I’m going to have to hold off playing the games for a short while though since I’ve already got Yakuza 4 on the go and Disgaea 4 waiting but I might chuck in a bit of MGS in there anyway. Also working on more art for the site and applying for jobs too so I’m busy enough! Anyway, expect updates to galleries later today maybe. At least this delivery has perked me up for the day. Happy rant over.

Just a note to say I’ve added another gameplay mock-up to the Tales gallery. It a world exploration view! I wanted this game to have lots of different gameplay types to match what goes on in the story and to add to the humour as well. There’ll be more to come in this gallery but I think I should return to doing some other projects so that my folio stays varied. Stay tuned.
Tales of Airie

So I’ve been working on some art for a game concept I’m drafting, Tales of Airie. I’ve always wanted to make an RPG with multiple overlapping epic stories. Originally the game was more like full-3D, but as you can see from the gallery it’s now more like a side-scroller. The inspiration came primarily when the FFIX soundtrack played whilst I was painting and I just wanted to recreate something with similar feelings.
Now with Future Perfect, Vistas, Personas and this I think I have plenty of projects to work on without starting another! Lucky(?) for me I don’t have a job to get in the way. Wait. That’s not what I mean. Anyway for all those who visit this site I guess there will be updates on as many of the galleries as I have time to work on.
Never A Dull Day For Jack
Before I forget I thought I’d attach a couple of shots from an anime short I was attempting to do (before shortly realising that drawing almost every frame would take me many many months of full-time work to finish it!) I think would have been kinda cool, and I’d probably recommit to this project should I not get a job within the next couple of months.
General Update

Well its a new year but not much change here. Instead of making a new gallery I’ve just plopped the two dark warriors into the Personas gallery and I’ve added a new piece to Future Perfect.
I’ve been working on things here and there and applying for jobs too, unsuccessfully so far! But I’ll get there. If anyone in a nice sunny country wants to offer me one please don’t hesitate! I started up a new project, with more design than illustration but I’ll release the gallery once I’ve done a few more pieces for it. The art style is a little more cartoony than my usual affair but it’ll be coming soon.
