  Senior Character Artist & Visual Development Artist

  My first video game project as the Lead Character Designer / Visual Development Artist: Iggy's Zombie Apugalypse. It is an Android game where you have to steer a pug named Iggy through a mansion filled with zombies. I was in charge of designing all the characters, assets and backgrounds.Took over this position after the previous Lead Character Designer & Visual Development Artist left the project to pursue a different work lead. I had to draw in as close to his style as possible for this project.Stayed in frequent contact with the colleagues on this project, using Skype and routine visits to their office in Swansea. The game was finally released on the Google Play Store for the Android on July 2016. An iOS version has also recently been made and released. Show less

  Illustrator

  I was commissioned to design several illustrations for their first game; Monster Ball. This included drawing in their already established visual style, as well as provide each finished illustration day by day, which I pulled off successfully.Monster Ball is an Xbox One indie action game where you play as monsters and team up against online or local opponents to beat them in a game of football. Except the ball will be bouncing around the walls of the room, and the goals are moving.
