The Magic Lantern: Portfolio

Thanks for visiting my blog. On this page you'll find some examples of my recent work - and a some from older projects I was a part of, I've left the spreadsheets out though :0)

Eisenhorn Xenos
I'm currently working with Pixel Hero on a game adaptation of the Games Workshop novel Eisenhorn Xenos by Dan Abnett. Development leverages Epics Unreal Engine 3 for Mobile devices and PC. I can't show much of my work yet, most of it is still top secret as the game is still in development. But I can show some location artwork I've been working on that has already appeared in the press.

All images remain copyright of Games Workshop.

And here's the game logo.

Star Chart

I've been busy of late, adding the finishing touches to Star Charts next update for Windows 8.

As the only artist on the project I've been flat out creating the Ui and icons, all the required textures and meshes, removing stars from galaxies and nebulas, repairing constellation artwork of the 17th Century astronomer Johannes Hevelius, and a whole host of other cosmic duties.

Here's a few examples of my recent work.

Other Work & Personal Projects

Here's a couple of pics from another 2D personal project. It's a bit different from my usual work and it's been really refreshing to try out a new art style and play with some new tech.

I'm learning Mudbox in my spare time at the moment, sculpting highpoly assets and baking off the normal maps to lower poly meshes. At the same time I'm also baking off clean diffuse and specular maps without any directional lighting information (ambient only). These textures are going to form the basic tile set, mud and grime will be added in another pass to bring the surfaces together in situ.
