I’ve added some more videogame concept sketches

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I did an art test for NCsoft a few years ago; I’ve just added those sketches to my new portfolio pages. The art test required me to match the character designs and art style for a unpublished game that was under development at the time.

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

I’ve just added a set of spaceship concept sketches to my portfolio. These were done for an MMO space combat game that is currently being developed by a small independent studio.

More changes to Image Engine (significant ones this time)

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I’ve made some important enhancements to Image Engine, and bumped the version number to 4.0.2. Significant changes are as follows:

Introduced improved handling of missing or incomplete HTML elements. Made a change to the method used to capture the slide description. Instead of trying to step through the child nodes of the <dd> element, the entire innerHTML [...]

Introducing my brand new portfolio pages

Monday, December 28th, 2009

This evening I am very pleased to be able to announce the launch of my brand new portfolio pages, featuring more than 100 samples of artwork from the last 15 years that I have been working as a professional artist.

This is made even more exciting for me as I’m using new slide show software that [...]

Are you a Javascript developer who needs some artwork?

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

I’ve recently started work on a HTML/CSS/Javascript image browser that I think could be very cool if I can get it to work. I have some ideas that I think make it potentially very flexible and useful for any artist who wants a stylish and easy to use way of displaying their images.

However, my Javascript [...]

Quick Sketch: A Melancholy Rogue

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

My wife asked me to do a sketch of Rogue, one of her favourite characters from the X-Men universe. When I looked for some reference material for Rogue, I was struck by the fact that almost all the images of her show her as a dynamic, flying sex symbol (or the awful, shrieking, sulky teenager [...]

Quick sketch: Avatar – The Last Airbender

Friday, December 4th, 2009

My favourite cartoon series in recent years is Avatar: The Last Airbender (I own all three series on DVD, including the US-only final chapter). Today’s quick sketch is of Aang, the eponymous Avatar. I lost track of how long this took because I kept getting interrupted.

Although I’m not able to publish any of the artwork I created for Jambo! Safari myself, there seems to be plenty of examples of my environment and character concepts, and character artwork scattered around the interwebs. Below are samples and links to a few of my images:

Concept Artwork

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

I’ve actually managed to add a couple of new images to my portfolio recently. I had the chance to colour up a sketch I did a few years ago for an NCsoft art test:

I’ve also just added a spaceship [...]

Cannonbolt Sketch

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

I’m a big fan of Ben 10 (yes, I know I’m far too old to like cartoons – get over it). One of my favourite characters from the series is the Cannonbolt alien, so I made him the subject of my second “15 minute” sketch attempt. I still haven’t quite got the hang of the [...]
