Loved working on this mock game cover/concept image I did as part of my limit break mentorship with Dan Vargas, Senior Art Director at Ubisoft. We wanted to create a kind of alternate 1980's portland, where the tech is slightly more advanced and people are 'upgrading' their bodies. #indiedev

An illustration for a mock game cover/concept image . A woman stands on a misty street in an alternate 1980s portland. A searchlight shines across her face as she looks towards us. Behind her is a street lit by the light of 2 giant crt screens. One scren has a skull that says 'upgrade' A diner called jakes is visible in the background. Infront of the diner a man and a small child stand infront of a booth. A policman mans the booth with a red glowing eye visible. Above her flying camera drones are visible. Overall the image has a sci fi vibe influenced by 1980s tech.

The last character design I made for this indie game. Researching mesomamerican culture for this was very fun. It's really amazing the sheer variety and beauty of different art styles through the ages and cultures. #indiedev #characterdesign #conceptart

Most of my work recently involves lots of rough loose sketches like this. Not sure if people are interested in rough work like this but would be interested to know if people enjoy seeing these. some stream of consciousness drawings for an 80's inspired cop character I'm designing #sketch #indiedev

a bunch of loose sketches of some mech 80s inspired cop characters. They wear some kind of cyber chunky mech armour .

Another character sheet for an indie game I'm working on. Tried a lot of different colour schemes for her but something about this patchwork quilt kind of vibe appealed to me. #indiedev #gamedev #characterdesign

Another character design for an indie game in development. He's a battlemage who uses the gems he has embedded in his armour as a power source. I really liked the idea of using the super saturated blue with this character to match his magic /royal theme. #gamedev #conceptart #characterdesign

Took a few tries to get this score , I guess obsessing over tiny temperature shifts for a living has something to do with it. I can never get the pink ones though, funny how certain colours are harder to see .

allegedly superhuman score from https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd/

Couple of quick colour studies, just trying to understand the mood and lighting better. I enjoy sharing rough sketches like this, they have a certain energy to them that's hard to keep in a longer painting. #art #sketch
