Lego Star wars III: The Clone Wars
(Ds/Psp/3Ds)

TT-fusion recently released Lego Star wars 3: The clone wars on all the major handhelds which I had the pleasure of working on. Many different tasks were handled by me throughout the cycle but the main ones were Level art on the space flight sections and props.
Below are some example images of the sort of work I did. The psp version is shown. 

Lego Rock Band

(Playstation 3/Xbox 360 & Nintendo Wii)

I worked on this mostly as a prop artist for cutscenes. This meant working closely with the animation team to make sure they get what they need. As you can imagine, most of the props were Lego based, but a few weren't. As well as prop creation, I optimised a lot of the models that Lego sent over to us.

Below are some screenshots of the game.

One cut scene needed a simple rubber ducky, which was by far my favourite prop I did for the project!

The House of the dead: Overkill

My 3rd title released, this one again being from from my time at Headstrong games.

Work consisted of Character retextures for zombie variants, weapons, vehicle and cutscene enviroment work. I also did the Vulture enemy as well as gore passes on the levels and some collision detection modelling.

London 2029: A post Apocalyptic scene

15,000 Tris

 Dancing with the stars: We dance! 

This my second title, which I did whilst at headstrong games.

Much of the work consisted of lighting, rendering, tweaking the skins and animation as well as more post production work like compositing using Adobe premier.
Below are some screens of the game in action.

Alien Rocker

Here is a character inspired by the Guitar hero series. He is a alien rocker jamming in a battle of the bands event!

Retro remake challenge

This low poly Dr Robotnik (from the sonic series) was in response to a Uni forum challenge to remake something retro game related.
The specifications were 500 Triangles and a 256*256 diffuse & opacity map.
