Marvelous flood...

All these pics, concept art and models, are from my work on Marvel Nemesis:Rise of the imperfects, for PlaystationPortable.

I was a comic book collecting nerd growing up so to get to work on this title and on the characters I worked on was a dream come true!



Front and Centre, Captain America!


Wolverine concept idea. The thought was to go with one of his classic outfits and give him a more armored appearance. The final model was similar to this drawing but not exactly the same.


More Wolverine outfit concepts.


Each of the Wolvie concepts above were painted front side and back like the one below.

Character concepts for SSX 3.

One of my favorite games to work on (and play) was SSX3. Had a blast doing character work on this title. Below are a few concepts I did for it. Some watercolour/Gauche and a digital pic.

Clicking on any of the images will open up a larger view.

This first shot is Kaori.


An unknown (read, unused) instructor.



Elise has been around since the early versions of SSX. drawn in the style of the band "The Gorillas" Painted digital, hand drawn.


Zoe was a great female character, very strong, and a bit edgy. Voiced by Bif-Naked. It was fun to try a few different thing with her design.


This was a one of my favorite drawings below, I really liked the way it turned out. Painted on watercolour board btw. Pure analogue!

SSX3, Viggo. 3D characters.

Viggo was originally named Dieter. Personally I liked Dieter better but apparently it wasn't quite the common Scandinavian name so Viggo it became...

Like Griff, I got to own Viggo. I modelled everything for Viggo including all his accessories.

For some reason I don't have many pictures of Viggo, so I had to resort to shots from IGN! Really though, you could just play the game. ;)

SSX3 Models, Griff.

Working in the video games industry since before the turn of the millenium, (wow that sounds like a really long time doesn't it?) I've been lucky enough to work with many very talented and wonderful people. I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of titles and characters. This was probably one of my favorite and most memorable.

Did I already say, SSX3 was one of my favourite titles to work on? I modelled all of Griff, including all of his accessories. We had a huge amount of accessories for all the characters, there were hundreds of items (I think!)

A bit of trivia: Griff's original name was Grommet.






I'd modelled his hair in a very specific style but it just wasn't working. The day I finished this new version I was so excited I had to comp some shots together and bring printouts to a meeting! Wow, new hair! Good times.

Random Space Guy.

This concept was done for a game that never got off the ground but I like the rendition so I kept it! This pic is pretty big also...
