A bit of a spontaneous drawing today! It's nice to try something a bit different. :)

Another a gentleman doodle, I don't know why?

Just a gentleman doodle, I'm way out of it at the moment, rusty!

Odonata Stuff!

Hmm we need to get more art up on here, too much text! Here's a Mock-Up I did recently for Odonata's new format, check out the post over at Odonata's Devblog!

Annd, here is just a little mess about related to Odonata's story, still a work in progress, forgive me on the anatomy the perspective is kicking my ass!

Odonata Dev Blog Launch!

The day is finally here, we've just finished the mad rush setting up the new dev blog for Odonata!

http://odonatagame.blogspot.com

Head on over there for the first early development shots and videos of our game! :D

From now on we'll be posting all the game development over there so this place will stay artsy, and I'll cross post any art for it over here too. Anyway, catch you later folks!

Odonata Incoming!

Hey folks!

It's been a pretty tough journey game making so far, Ani and I had originally began a hugely ambitious plan to make a big game about 4 and a half years ago, however at that point of conception, neither of us had the technical know-how or the experience to achieve such an ordeal.

Ever since then we've been learning as much as possible to make us battle-ready for game makin'. We've gone through six game engines, four programming languages, massive amount of ideas and eye melting headaches.

With all that learn-work under our belt, we made a scratch start on Odonata at the beginning of this year.

So...at this stage, I feel that we're ready to make a start with posting our development progress, we will be revealing the first preview of Odonata on March 31st!!!

When I say "preview" I mean super-ultra-alpha-alpha, so adjust your expectations appropriately! Haha! We're only two months in this new definitive build of Odonata, just cleared past the early core function/conception stage. Right now, we're trying to get it all together to make it presentable and at least interesting to look at.

At the moment ALL the assets are simple placeholders for now. Crude prototype assets are not pretty, but it's important that we focus on the core gameplay and mechanics. We are artists to the core after all, because of that, the pretty arty stuff is going to be the last thing we will be doing so that game-side doesn't suffer. At the end of this we certainly don't want a pretty game with no punch.

Anyway, we'll be providing more info about what the game is actually about and the game-plan with the preview at the end of the month.

I'll be seein' you in a month! Let's hope we can nail that deadline!

SF's Cammy White!

Been feeling a lot more arty these days, although I've been running out of ideas haha! So I thought I might start doing fan art of my favourite game characters. Today's character, Street Fighter's Cammy! She's so cheeky :p

SF's Balrog!

A little doodle of Balrog from Street Fighter! He's so goofy hehe.


In recent news regarding Odonata, we have had a bit of a set back resulting in a whole months worth of programming wasted on a silly miscalculation from yours truly. :)

However, things are back on track and we are working as hard as we always are on getting it to a presentable state.

The Goalkeeper!

Just thought I'd post an old TF2 item I submitted about 9 months ago, the stats and name were revealed during a steam translation leak about 5-6 months ago. Had a lot of fun with this one, largest/complex item I've done so far. :) Named it based on the anti-missile warship cannon.

If you're on steam and you enjoy my work I would super chuffed if you voted it up. :)

It's unreleased for now.

Nombie!

Just a little quick doodle, trying to get back into drawing again. :)

Nudle Doodles!

Here's some figure studies, not done a little doodle page like this for a long time! :D

Really enjoy drawing wacky dynamic poses ha, no lazy leg amputees this time either! Need to improve my line control a little though, I end up going over my lines too much because I'm so rusty, they just get thicker and thicker the less I draw haha.


Project Odonata is going strong, I'm planning on making some development posts of some of our programming scenes and thesis so you have something to look at, rather than me just telling you about it every other month :p

Catch you later! :)

Odonata Asset Spec Test

Just a little asset spec test for Odonata, really enjoyed this! 642 tris, 128x128 texture, 3 hours.

Rosaline

I'm pretty rusty, I need to get back into drawing again, Fun!

TF2 - The Deus Ex Update!

Hey everyone! Still going strong on Odonata, Ani and I are healthily nearing a playable prototype. Will have something to post very soon! Including a new development blog and an IndieDB page. :D

I also will be doing some art soon. I admit, I really have dropped off the wagon for that. Programming is a tough job!

In other news! TF2!

http://www.teamfortress.com/deus-ex/


A month ago I was approached by Eidos-Montreal to create a set of TF2 promotional items to promote their amazing upcoming title, Deus Ex: Human Revolution! What an honour!


http://store.steampowered.com/app/28050/

Among the eight items Eidos-Montreal pitched to Valve for the promotion, I was given the choice to create four of them. I decided to choose the following, The Short Circuit, The Diamondback, The Widowmaker and The Deus Specs. You can check 'em out after the jump! Valve then created the rest internally, The Machina, Nanobalaclava, Purity fist and The Company Man.

Like all contributed items in the Mann Co. Store, Valve give a generous 25% of the sales to the creators, so I will receive 25% of the sales from the four Deus Ex items/bundle I created in the Mann Co. Store.

So, if you like my items and Deus Ex for that matter, I would be honoured if you grabbed them in TF2's Mann Co. store!

Hit the jump for the all the Deus Ex item development and what not!

Odonata - Aethena

Sorry it's been a little quiet here, still working hard on the playable prototype! Programming leaves little time for art. :(
