⭐Presenting: Isle of the Occult⭐ Welcome to my first personal project of 2025! I adored working on this environment and I am very happy with how it came out. Thank you for checking out my work 🖤 #EnvironmentArt #3dart #UnrealEngine5 www.artstation.com/artwork/0lZ5Rw

I have a feeling that Netease shut down the Marvel rivals studio as they pivot away from Western developers altogether, you can already see Tencent moving in a similar direction 😕 I just hope with the loss of chinese mega investments, Europe and the US can find some sort of replacement to help!

It's occurred to me that I'm at an age where I forget that Saturday's are the "night out" evenings! 😅 Although it's been quite a while since I've been out on a Saturday!

Only a little late but just completed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order! That is how far back my backlog goes 😅 and probably even further too! Really enjoyed it and looking forward to moving onto Jedi Survivor! #starwars #gaming #PS5

Some amazing new trailers coming out of the Game Awards! I wish I had the time to get through the Witcher 3 before 4! 😄🫠 Just one of the many in my backlog! The new naughty dog game already peaked my interest! A big AAA studio doing next level sci-fi worlds is exciting 😄

I do love a good building with up lighting! It really helps show off the intricate architecture and symmetry. Plus I like how each building has warm and cooler lighting differences!

Found an even cooler looking alleyway in Glasgow, although not as much fog tonight! #streetphotography #alleyway #glasgow #environmentart

Off to Scotland to meet up with the rest of the No Code crew for Christmas! I really like working remote and gives a lot of benefits, especially with a young family, but I do miss the in person interactions with colleagues and friends. The next few days will be great to catch up!

That was certainly a more interesting season of Formula 1! I was lucky enough to see history made at Silverstone with 3 British drivers qualifying P1,P2 and P3 with Lewis winning on race day! 😄 Excited for next season with some fresh faces and Lewis at Ferrari 🙂 #F12025 #F1 #formula1

I don’t have much energy or time to do personal projects much, but this was my most recent that I forced myself to do. Gothic architecture is some of my favorite aesthetics, so I wanted to do a small scale version of that. Some sculpts of these pieces in the thread below.

Some of my fav sculpts from SW:Jedi Survivor. The two statues were the biggest challenge because of the scale of them compared to Cal. Depending how close the player gets to them, you have to keep in mind the detail on the sculpt so it doesn’t look low resolution when up close.

When you have good modular system and good content it is pretty cool how many stuff you can assemble. I just started to explode my kit, but with 5.5 it's going pretty juicy

I tried to get those F1 75 season launch and team reveal event tickets but got through the queue to buy the tickets, but the whole website fell a part and I failed to get some... sad times, hopefully more tickets are released but its near impossible :( #f1 #formula1 #f175 #racing #seasonlaunch #O2

Posting more old work! This one is from 2020- it's my capstone project from university. It was my first time putting a bigger environment together, so I learned a ton from it! The original scope was a playable game- I had a (bad) prototype, but COVID hitting forced me to scope down. #GameArt

what a shit show! Can't believe its gone the way it has, after all the reasons and evidence to choose a better path... Not sure if there are going to be any positive outcomes for the next 4 years, hopefully America survives!

So I have been talking about how I was in unhappy with my lighting passes of these Pokemon badges and here is a line up to show the changes. Don’t know how clear the changes are but hope it’s interesting to some at least. #3dart #prop #brakedown

A wooden ladder I created a while back for zbrush practice and creating wrapping ropes which was a tough one, but learned a lot! Never actually posted on my Artstation though as i wasn't that happy with the end result and felt a bit random to add 😅 #3dart #environmentartist #environmentart #3d

Another oldie! As I don't have much new stuff to show 😅 here is an oxygen tank I created a whole back! #3dart #prop #environmentart #artist

A Gas Pump asset i've pushed further for the retro gas station scene to be a bit of a benchmark. Hopefully i'll get it finished one day. Going for a more vibrant and Miami vice style, rather than dilapidated and post apocalyptic. #3dart #environmentart #gameart #3d #3dartist

Some of my recent new folio work. Again, I'm on a super Alien/Ron Cobb style art binge. This was initially inspired by the Narcissus escape craft, then went in its own direction. A rapid response, surface to orbit attack craft.

Hey people! Happy Monday, but if you're applying to a job, can you PLEASE add you portfolio links in either your CV, or in some sort of notes or extra information if its provided. Having to hunt names down in Artstation or online is quite time consuming! That is your game dev advice for today!

An underground smelting factory scene that I never completed but was pretty happy with where the blockout was going. Unfortunately files are lost on to the void from an old hard drive somewhere now...
