2017
Dwarves of Glistenveld.
Nysko Games.
Rail Warriors.
Arplex Game Studios.
Working as a matte painter, I produced and established the teams vision for this project, pushing the a more realistic art style desired. Working with the games designer, to allow these paintings to work as plates in game, allowing them to parallax as well as repeat, this was a technical and creative challenge, which lead to repeatable sections that could be used multiple times in a level.
Working as a concept designer for Nysko Games on their real time strategy game the 'Dwarves of Glistenveld'. I produced designs for in game assets as well as two goblin enemy classes, The designs I produced were translated into in game 'pixel art' assets.
'Mindfulless' Final University project BA (Hons) Game Art and Design.
This project commentates on how the extended use of technology effects our view of the world. Emulating different human perceptions (socialising, stimulation, focus, confidence and navigation) through the spacial UI of reality filtering headsets are used to augment and optimise users view on the world. Below I show a number of images from the development of this project.

This shopping mall platformer has the player collect items around 4 different shops to help them solve puzzle at the end of the game.
Working with a small team based in Ireland over two months, I was the lead artist providing concepts, designing and creating all of the games visuals, through pre to post production on the project.
​
I produced 2 lighting mood paintings, as well as concept designs for the environment, assets and user interface. I also created 3D assets for the shopping mall lobby, basement, four shop interiors and over 80 objects with stylised hand painted textures.
