Summary
A digital ( and traditional still ) 3d game asset artist from 2d concept through to full asset production I haven't looked back turning a hobby into a career many years ago. I’m still an avid gamer time permitting and always eager and curious to collaborate, learn and pass on whatever experience may be relevant and add further strings to the bow. I have over 28 years of games industry development experience as an artist so far. In previous years I've been involved with concepts prototypes through to final release for SCEE, Activision, Acclaim, Codemasters and Pixeltoys, Wargaming, Apple Arcade. Directly involved with the creation of art style guides pitch materials game design from initial concept all the way through production and final releases working with some amazing people along the way. Working remotely since lockdown I have adapted my toolchain to be as efficient with time as with money.
