Game Art

Here are my latest works. I hope you like them.

Futuristic Hangar, Photoshop/SketchUp

Thanks a lot folks! Here’s more to look at.

This is a test character for Snow Globe games. Didnt get the gig but it was a valuable experience.

Heres another. Concepts of male and female versions of the same character.

Here is a map test done for a mobile games company.
I was given the basic ‘nude’ map layout and the brief was for a floating island with a summer theme.
Heres what I did.
I hope you like it.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot Mantikore, Still hard at it. You have good stuff too! Great work. I’ll keep posting stuff here anyway.

Thanks a lot felix,

Here’s a new personal piece. It aint game art i know. But hey.
Its called ‘Milkshakes’.
I hope you like it!

Thanks Frankie,

I love concept art and the idea of nailing a piece based on a description. Plus the possibility of that piece moving on to be built in 3D, animated and take center stage in a AAA title is a dream of mine too.
However, I would also love to see my Art in-game.
I am in the process of producing in game visuals for a game myself and a few mates are putting together. Long way to go but I am learning the trade.

Thanks again,
Noely

Heres some new stuff.
My own twist on Gray Fox from MGS

Bowlhead
My first Zbrush sculpt. Gonna drop it in PS to see what I can do. Goin for a creature that might inhabit an alien rainforest. A dead eyed lurker, waiting to pounce like a velociraptor.

Thanks RedXIV. Gray fox was my favourite.

Thank you very much Paul and payrad for the kind words. @payrad Ill have a looksee.
Thanks again!

Thank you very much 3dFoin. I’m glad you like it.
Here is my Zbrush sculpt after Photoshop. Had to finish it off. Get it done.

The ‘Bowlhead’ is understood to be an alien genus of gephyrostegid reptiliomorph amphibian.
Bowlheads are extremely agile hunters that inhabit the banks all along the ‘JJa’ river in the Faankoom Rainforest.
They will hunt down large prey in twos and threes with frightening speed, scaling the trees and swimming to get a better vantage point. Often, their best approach is to wait in the dark waters of the JJa until their thirsty and unsuspecting prey, sometimes twice their size, is dragged under and drowned.
These creatures make the journey through Faankoom a very difficult task indeed.

Thanks anthony! Im glad you like it. I like the comparison too. He’s got some good monsters in his flicks.

I have just received an Excellence Award from 3DTotal for my piece ‘Bowlhead’ (above). On August 3rd, it will be on the 3DTotal homepage for 12 days before becoming a permanent addition to their galleries. As you may know, the standard of art in these galleries is amazing and it is a pretty tough selection process so I am very happy and very proud to have my work chosen and to share my award.
Thanks a million!
Here’s to improving everyday!

Thanks very much folks.
Couple of days and its on the website!
Here a Joker drawing for the time being.(wip)

‘Musk’

Thanks a lot Pete!

Hey thanks a lot folks. heres some more.

Character dev
A shady mutant with her hood up.

Thanks a lot Niall. Always pluggin away.

Thanks Roganski. Good idea. Ill do some more images of her and develop her more. But for now, heres a monsta!

Host
Some poor human has been made host to an alien parasite that lives in the stomach, while it controls the body and mind with worm-like arms that burst through the head and shoulders.
The stomach also fills up with bile and acid creating a defence mechanism that will burst and burn if the parasite is ever disturbed. Nasty.

Thanks a lot!

Rid – Sci-fi Concept.
Someone just got dumped into space.

Creature Design
Silk-Purse Flyer

This little fellow might not be the most handsome of creatures to the human eye. However, in his world, he is a supermodel.
The line along his side will pulse different colours during the courting process. Making him quite the catch to his female counterparts.
The more varied the colours, the better his chances at finding a mate.
Its favourite food is the nectar of the Gurita, a flower that dwarfs this little creature as he flies right into its opening.
It is safe in its world as his blood is pure poison, making him unpalatable to any poor creature that might fancy a bite.
Its name comes from the old saying, ‘You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear’.
Because both of its wings resemble pigs ears, attached to something as colourful and as beautiful as a silk purse.

Done for ConceptArt.org’s Creature of the week.
Brief: Aposematic Stalk-Eyed Honey Sucker
Thanks.

A character whos been on my mind for a while now.
I keep thinking of a grumpy old Giant who doesnt need anyones help. That is until he cant get into small spaces.
This is Gurol.

Zbrush, Photoshop.

I hope you like it,
Thanks!

Hi satchmo, thanks a lot! I keep getting that feeling off the airlock one too. I think it needs toning down a little.
No I haven’t tried rigging and animating yet. That’s on the list of things to do. There’s a lot on that list.
For now Im just trying to get comfortable with Zbrush as a sculpting tool.

Done for Spitpaint group on FB.
The brave young mouse and his new friend need to get home. As they find somewhere cosy and settle in for the long journey his friend surveys their mode of transport…
”This is a really, really big train…”

New work.
Assault
Big steel boats in the sky. They came without warning.

Thanks LostTrainDude, it depends really. If I want to render a piece properly it could take 10+ hours. Some of these took longer as I was experimenting with the programs. However others like the Vein Mauler and the character concepts took about 4 hours. Then the ‘really big train’ piece took me just over an hour. Thanks for the kind words.
