New Vistas
3 hours ago
Well I’ve got a couple of new pics in the Vista gallery like I said I would! One’s a bit mass effect and the others full of crumbling stuff. I was trying some new stuff here and there but now I’m going to work on some character work for a while. It’s been ages since I’ve done something character focused. Another thing I was considering was getting back into 3D modelling as it’s been some time since I’ve even opened up Max. On top of that I’ve been thinking seriously about flying over for the San Francisco GDC…in two weeks… but I’ll have to consider this for another day or two. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!
T2

Another new pic for the Future Perfect gallery, this time of the T2 in an open hangar. I tried to mix up my style a little as well though it ended up a little bit rough, but seems alright for a concept piece. Now it’s time to have a go at some scenery stuff again though I also feel like doing some character work too. :S We’ll just have to see what comes out when I paint I guess.

Just added a new piece to Future Perfect and it’s been a while since I did something mechanical. I think it turned out alright but I’m going to do a couple more pieces of vehicle work and then I’m going do work on the Vistas and Personas galleries. Still no luck with jobs though, I hope I get something soon before my sleep pattern turns me completely nocturnal!. More to come soon.
Sully’s Adventure

Well I’ve added a couple more gameplay mock-ups for the Tales gallery. I rather enjoying doing them. 
One is conversing with an NPC and the other is a 2D chase scene. I think that both could be done with a slightly different style, but the chase scene in particular could be more stylised as it’s more of a flashback minigame than a fully integrated story section.
Now I’m definitely going to work on the other projects for a while. I’ll post them as I finish them!
EDIT: Removed the pop up notification on the chase scene as I didn’t know the monster name was actually racist until a friend just informed me! Sorry if I offended anyone looking.
Tales+

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.
General Update
1 month ago
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.
A New View

There is a new gallery page: Vistas. Just like Personas was for characters that didn’t really belong to a project, Vistas is for projectless environments and scapes. I waited until I had at least 4 images before I opened the gallery otherwise it wouldn’t have really been much of one but these are the works I’ve been doing for the past two weeks.
I think that I’m enjoying painting environments much more nowadays and I’m improving, which was the point of the exercise. Hopefully there’ll be more to come soon but I have so many different things I wish to do it’s difficult to choose the priorities. There’s a few new character paintings I’ve been working on too so they’ll be added soon.
PS. juggling jobhunting, gaming and art is a difficult task 
A Human Revolution
5 months ago
So I spent the entire weekend on Deus Ex and completed it in the early hours of today. Great fun, great atmosphere and with the exact same inventory system as Resi4, I spent a lot of time rearranging my belongings!
After finishing the game I felt compelled to finish a piece of work which I felt had some resonance, (it’s in the Personas and Portfolio galleries) and I’ve also recently added a gallery for a competition I entered a while ago on DeviantArt as well completing a piece of costume design for the Future Perfect gallery, which is also in the Portfolio.
I’ll probably be back on Deus Ex again in the near future but I’ve got more Lovefilm games incoming so my attention will be split once again. I think I’m also going to try and rework one of my final year pieces to a suitable standard for presentation so watch out for that.
Metal Gear Art
8 months ago
Just a quick gallery update. I just did some quick Metal Gear Solid inspired pieces of the different eras of Snakes. If you’re a fan of the MGS series you’ll probably know which is which quite easily. Enjoy!
I also really like Yoji Shinkawa’s art style and he’s one of the biggest influences on me and part of the reason I wanted to be a game artist. Now I have other ideas about what I want to do but I still really like his work and I might try to use the style in some Future Perfect pieces.
