Berserker

Need a few more tweeks, like the normals on the mouth, the hands are under textured, but overall not too bad. Also my alpha maps didnt render properly, those shorts are to be tattered.

Ragnarok Two-Handed Sword

A simple sword, based on the Two-Handed Sword designs from Ragnarok Online. Just a day thing, sweet and simple.
512 textures, they worked just as well at 256x256, even lower beacuse its so simple, but just for why not-s I left it at 512. Theres still alot of space on the map, so I might do one or two more simple weapons.

Pocket Sketchbooks

Sketchbooks!
I carry around with me two sketchbooks. One A4 and one pocket sized for 5 minute drawings. I dont really consider the pocket sketchbooks great stuff, but they're cool. Often more experimental than my A4 sketchbook, somehow. Also, I can go through a pocket sketchbook in record time.
Tower of London
Tower of London
 Funny thing about the Tower of London, I got all the way there, and my camera batteries went flat, frustrated, I just drew it instead. It was quite nerving having lots of people walk around you while youre trying to draw.

Prince Of Persia - the shadow and the Flame Trailer [UK]

My first official title, wow! I can finaly say I worked on Prince of Persia (shadow and the flame) When working at Ubisoft, India, good times. It's come so far in such a short time, lots of hard work went in.

Its only a shame I wasnt there for the end of the development, there were some props and environment stuff I really wanted to finish and work on. But no regrets.

Im sure its going to be great fun. Anyone with a smart-phone or ipad out there that follows me, defiantly keep your eye open for this one!

3Ds Max user inside joke

You can save every 10 minutes and still find a reason to be upset about it crashing and losing your painstakingly unwrapped and rearranged islands.
Although I have realised how UV Unwrapping is a little like being a kid, and you have those shapes that you put into those holes that fit. That thought brings a whole new level of "Oh god why" to unwrapping. Baby.

A duck owns a house

I decided to draw a duck, if ducks were to have houses. This particular duck is the yellow kind, that reads the New News Newsley and owns one of those loud as the industrial revolution washing machines.

Painting in Costa Cofe


Finaly been able to paint digitally in a coffee house, been wanting to do that for years.

Drawings from another time and place

Well, I thought now as a time better than any other to upload drawings from India. At this point in time I didnt have a PC to practice art with so I went to traditional mediums. Personaly I dont like much of it, but its practice and practice is worth recording, this blog is nothing but that after all. These are just sketches from the apartment in Pune which I stayed, I had a big A3 sketchbook i'd doodle in. Alot of it was real junk though, which says alot.
