CHARACTER & ENVIRONMENT ART

I’ve worked on character art and have been lead and associate character artist for a range of titles in both 2D and 3D.

This gallery shows the projects and highlights different character styles, design approaches and production techniques.

As an artist also tasked with doing Environments, I've taken the principles I learned from comic art and applied them to the Games I've worked on.

Environments take of many different forms and I've been lucky enough to work on many different types.

GRAPHIC DESIGN & ILLUSTRATION

I graduated from Ulster University with a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration.

I further developed my initial teachings by pursing work in illustration initially and after finding a passion for games development, I done my best to combine the two.

I’ve have strived to bring an element of design fundamentals to each of my projects
