Color Concepts

Searching for some otherworldly color palettes.

A Taste of Things to Come

Over the summer I finally buckled down and started working on the thing I've always wanted to do most.  Design and create my own video game!

Most people would assume I am just an artist who creates environments and concepts for games(primarily).  I am interested in designing video games just as much (if not more) than I am in drawing/painting.  Hell, it is the sole reason I picked up art in the first place!  I'll dig deeper into my gaming interests in a later.

I'm not going to delve into too much detail about the game specifics at the moment. Currently it is comprised of lot of design documents, a few concepts, unfinished animations, a couple tile sets and an extremely rough build.  That will change soon enough!  I will go into more detail as soon as I get something playable that is representative of the final game.  I have some solid ideas that I think a lot of people are going to like.

So here is a little sneak peek of the direction things are moving in, visually.

TL;DR

I am designing and creating all of the artwork, animations, story and game mechanics for a video game.  I am working with a local programmer/engineer who will make everything playable.

(This is a concept mock-up, a representation of what the final game may look like.)

Start Small

I am waaay behind on starting a blog.  I've spent too long thinking about building up this huge intro for myself and it has led nowhere.  I am going to jump right into things.

I am an illustrator, concept artist, game artist and game designer.

Here is a sketch for a painting I am working on.  It will be part of a new scifi series that I will present at Spectrum Fantastic Live 2015.

Here is a concept mock up for a game I am working on.  I am designing the game, creating all the art assets and doing all of the animation.  It is a massive workload.  The game is a multiplayer cooperative/competitive action-adventure game.

I will post regular updates about pretty much everything that I do.  Most of it will be art related.

Welcome to my blog and enjoy!
