Applications

My industry experience is limited, however in my efforts to learn as much as possible outside my structured study, I have come to be involved in building Extropia, a Second Life-platform community taking inluence from 1950s pulp sci-fi and transhuman ideals.
If you are in possession of the Second Life® client, you may visit Extropia at this address.

Thanks to the efforts of Dr. John Bonner and the organisers of the Huddersfield Open Studio Trail, a team of myself and my colleagues were given the chance to pitch a unique game idea to a non-gamer crowd over the course of a weekend. The experience was a sound lesson in effective communication ideas and of strict deadlines, taking in an eleven-week development cycle. Closer samples of my work here can be seen below.

 

3D Work

I was introduced to 3D design as a part of my university course and have been working with 3D Studio Max for two years since then. I conduct much of my preliminary work in Google Sketchup.

 

Sketches & 2D Work

I continue to develop my practices in life drawing and technical drawing, however as it is one of my weaker areas I also hope to take more structured study in draftsmanship before I progress in this field.

 

Designs

Most of my graphic design work is put towards supporting my conceptual ideas and designing websites.
