I’ve made a small tweak to the Image Engine Javascript that drives my portfolio browser. In the initial release, the script automatically started pre-caching all the full-sized images as soon as the page had finished loading. Now only the first 5 images are pre-cached; after that, images are loaded on demand as they are selected. [...]
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 [...]
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: Amy Wildman character artwork on Gamblog.fr Max Söderström [...]
Since starting work full time at Full Fat, I’ve worked almost exclusively on titles for the Nintendo DS, including Biker Mice From Mars, The Sims 2: Castaway, and most recently The Sims 2: Apartment Pets, released in August 2008. However, the end of November saw the release of the first Wii game I’ve worked on: [...]
Which in this case stands for Concerted Publishing Regime. The combined pressure of a full time job, a (relatively) new baby, and the odd bit of freelance work means that I’ve been neglecting this blog for some time now. Few things make a website seem more unloved and abandoned than a blog that hasn’t been [...]
My good friend, top code monkey and bloody nice bloke Bobbin Threadbare of Hidden Games has just released his first game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Air Cadets is a fun little 3D arcade style flying game, designed from the outset to be quick and easy to learn and play. The 3D graphics push [...]
Spam, spam, spam. I’ve been deluged with it of late. The scumbags that masquerade as SOEs have been using my contact form to send me useless links to useless sites. I’ve been slowly tightening the restrictions on what could be sent via that form; first I banned BBCode, then I was forced to ban web [...]
This poor blog has been languishing, unloved and untouched, for quite a while now. A lot of things have changed since I last posted, and I’ve finally decided it’s time to pull my finger out and start updating the site again. I realise not many people (if any) actually read this blog, but it’s here, [...]
I have been really busy lately, and have generated a lot of new illustrations that I am pretty pleased with. I’ve added samples of some of this new work to my portfolio. There is still a fair bit of new stuff to be added, but I’m waiting for clearance from the client before I publish [...]
After been nominated at the start of the month, The BBC Indus Valley site has made the shortlist of Finalists for a Digital Media Award. I am very pleased to say that I have been invited to attend the award ceremony with the members of the BBC production team who worked on the site. This [...]
