You'll never guess what happened...aliens...*pant*...kidnapped...nine months..!!!

Aaanyway - some doodles!

Handlebot!

Here's a 3D model that I've been tinkering with for a while, and finally managed to wrap up: some kind of steampunk-y post-apocalyptic survivor riding a half-scrapped army robot...

I had fun with this one - no normal mapping or anything, just a diffuse texture; the cel-shading look was achieved by taking the ambient occlusion lighting pass and putting it through the cutout filter in photoshop, then painting back into it by hand. Anyway, hope you like!

Here's some art from a game that I was fortunate enough to work on in 2009 - Lostwinds: Winter of the Melodias.

It really was a dream project for me, getting to work with a small, talented team of people, on a project that really inspired us.

It's an awesome feeling knowing that your efforts paid off, and that people are enjoying your work, but you can also recognise that there's still room for improvement...

Anyhow, enough blab, here's the art - three pieces of concept art that I did during production, as well as a piece of promotional artwork. (Thanks to Frontier Developments for giving me permission to post these.)

Third time's a...

So, the dust has settled (more or less); i'm now living in Cambridge, and for the past three months, i've been working at Frontier Developments (the guys who made LostWinds for the Wii).

The project i'm on is a lot of fun - but it'll be a while before I can show any work from it. So in the meantime, here's some more personal stuff:
