Halo 4 Wraparound

A concept of mine from my time with Microsoft's 343 Industries was just released on Halo Waypoint, and though it's a relatively simple painting I'm proud of what it accomplished and what I learned from it.

The image was an experiment with Photoshop CS5 Extended's 3D capabilities and is actually composed of a dozen or so instances of an unrelated, re-purposed 3D asset created for the game by Senior Environment Artist Chris Lewis. The details are a compilation of Custom Shapes created for the project by the Art Director Kenneth Scott.

It's been exciting to see more and more released about the game, really can't wait to play it ! Good luck guys, miss ya !

Oppidum Prototype

Motion concepts are something I've toyed around with for a couple years now, though until now I've never taken one so far that Photoshop couldn't handle it properly. I've spent the last week or so learning AfterEffects and though I doubt I'll ever excel with animation, I've really enjoyed myself and have learned and grown a great deal. It's proven to be a great way to explore, plan and prototype game designs as well as otherwise force me to think differently about illustrating and image making in general.

The two below were a struggle, the one above was a joy. 

Funny how that works.

More visual brainstorming for a personal project.
