Valve CSGO ingame weapon Stickers (Official)

2014

Synopsis

I'm an avid fan of the game Counterstrike, and have been for over 10 years through all the various iterations of the game. Recently Valve introduced ingame inventory items for monetisation purposes; these items include weapon 'skins' (gun texture customisation), but also stickers to place on them. I designed and submitted 2 stickers to the steam workshop, both were voted high enough and made it through the selection process and are now officially in the game!

Epic Anthems Cover

2009

Synopsis

I had this idea for an album cover: displaying an illuminated speaker in neons (similar to a flux capacitor like in the film back to the future), and use this as an image to convey a retrospective dance album cover. Title choice is irrelevant here as it just has to indicate a valuable collection over a period of time.

Disco Fever Cover

2009

Synopsis

I've designed a disco album before: 'best disco in town' for universal music. It featured a 'saturday night fever'-esque dance floor with a dark background. Here I've come up with a more brash design with lush 3D objects and vibrant colours.

Make your own kind of music

2009

Synopsis

Just a quick test for a kooky typographical title. Featuring the title lyric from a song by The Mamas and the Papas. Every time I hear it now I think of Lost.

ACS high

Synopsis

A self promotional project: I started with a study of playing card illustrations of aces, then created my own featuring a custom icon I use to identify myself, then populated this montage with items that feature it.

Evil Monkey Skateboard

2009

Synopsis

I've wanted to design for a skateboard since my first one in the late 80s. It had this really cool illustration of a zombie head with the brain sliced off and loads of mini zombies inside. Recently I had been sketching random ideas for illustrations; when I doodled this I thought it would look ace on a board. Here it is, and also featured on a skateboard 3D model I created.

Serial Killer Munny

2009

Synopsis

In preparation to learn character animation I took it upon myself to create a vinyl doll figure in 3D. As they have a cuteness about them I decided to contrast mine by making it a deviant.

Et Tu Brute?

2009

Synopsis

Inspired by renaissance still life paintings and by Shakespeare's Julius Caesar I created my own modern still life utilising various 3D objects I had created. Due to the dramatic context of the scene I have created the message as a blood texture, as well as handprints and spatter patterns.
