Looking for work in a PART TIME capacity at the moment, if anyone needs the help of a Level Designer or Unity Generalist get in touch! 5 years industry experience, most recent work was with Bithell Games on TRON: Catalyst

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Inching my way closer and closer to finishing this piece! I'm actually pleased with how it's turning out. Also wanted to thank @jakebenbow.bsky.social! I've been using his painterly texture maps and they work so incredibly well! It's been an absolute joy to use. #3d #gameart #gamedev

Take a look at some of the work I got to do on TRON: Catalyst! (Check out the rest of the art teams posts too) www.artstation.com/artwork/K3o9QX

Hello Hello 🍃 I am excited to share some art from my former Bithell team and me for TRON: Catalyst! ✨ We poured a lot of love into our version of The Grid -- check out our work ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #GameArt #EnvironmentArt #TRON #3DArt www.artstation.com/artwork/EzWQzq

Here is a little selection of my work on Tron: Catalyst. You can see more in replies, in-game, and also work from previous titles linked below

Myself and the rest of the old Bithell art team have put together our own art blast for TRON: Catalyst! A lot of love went into crafting our version of The Grid, so please go and show some love to all the very talented folks that made it happen. www.artstation.com/artwork/oJeWGw

I’m incredibly excited to be starting a new position as a 3D Artist at @futurlab.co.uk this week! 🥳 It's another step in my journey and one I'm really looking forward to, with some fun projects on the horizon and a super friendly and welcoming team!

Its been an absolute pleasure to work with Mike and the team at Bithell Games for 3 fantastic years. Cant speak highly enough of the team, truly some of the best folks ive had the honour to work with! 🙌🙌👏👏

Another certified Games Industry™ moment 🙃🫠 Gutted for the team, and everyone else involved. I've spent the last 3-and-a-bit years surrounded by the funniest, friendliest, and most talented people I've ever worked with. Here's hoping everyone lands on their feet (they should, they're amazing)

✋ hiiii. i was affected by this this is sad, and i'm sad, because this team was utterly stellar. i've learned SO much from these wonderful people, and i've never felt more able to be myself than at Bithell Games because i'm me, i blogged about why Bithell Games means so much to me. see below!

In the wake of the announcement regarding redundancies at Bithell Games please go and follow these wonderful, talented people go.bsky.app/U1R3UmV

My time at Bithell Games has been fantastic, but today it unfortunately comes to a close. I've been fortunate enough to work alongside some great people. If you're hiring then I can't recommend them enough, they're awesome. I'll have personal news to share next week.

My partner finished her first CGMA class and has started to post some of the work. Its super awesome seeing her progress and how far she has come. www.artstation.com/artwork/5WgkPP

Ok I need to sort my schedule out, this is my first in-person event in years so be kind. If you are: - Going to Develop - Want to talk state of the industry - Want to talk production - Want to scream into the void Lets do a thing please, HMU 🖤

🟠 TRON: Catalyst is finally out in the wild! 🔵 Been a great ride making this, and a memorable first credit. I hope everyone enjoys exploring the Grid as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

Back on environment art, lemme tell you about @jakebenbow.bsky.social . This is Jake’s FIRST GAME, and yet he arrived guns blazing, and delivered so many of the most beautiful environments and vehicles in the game. He’s a superstar, and is respected across the team for being just..that..damn..good

Process breakdown for the rocks in my current personal project. Sculpted in ZBrush, processed in Houdini, rendered in Unreal.

Been learning a bit of speedtree for a personal project I'm working up. Very out of my wheelhouse but happy with the results, might revisit them again later to make a few tweaks. Shoutout to @artofdape.bsky.social, would recommend his excellent vegetation course to anyone starting out with trees.

#01 - Overgrown Would it even be a monthly challenge if I didn't immediately fall behind schedule... Definitely need to improve my speed and try to not get bogged down in the weeds, but I do think this turned out really nice! #Mayterials2025 #Mayterials @theclubdiscord.bsky.social

friends are calling this unhinged but I am calling it honest 💜 follow Crescent County on Kickstarter today!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ann...

Hey everyone! I'm working on a small cozy game project for my graduation and I'm currently doing some research to the target audience and what you like about cozy games. If you would fill this form in for me, that would be lovely!🫡🙏 It's only a few questions, thanks! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I’m now available for work so giving this collection of personal work a bump. Any and all shares are deeply appreciated right now and portfolio link in the bio. Cheers and hope you’re having a great day.

Top tip for folks looking for 3D art jobs in games: have chairs in your portfolios. Doors. Fuck, have a really good bit of skirting board. Character art is cool and sexy and eye catching, but damn, videogames need like a really large number of doors.

Enjoying my new life as a freelancer, hopefully I can continue to find jobs, have some stuff hopefully sorted (touch wood!) but in case I don't, I am always looking for potential projects. Drop me a DM if your interested!

Wood plank sculpt practice in ZBrush

Siegecaster is an active experience, and we'll soon find out how the audience feels about it (but getting folks sending me screenshots with dozens of hours played is hopefully a good sign). And the controller support is really helping with engagement. store.steampowered.com/app/3138350/...

I'm literally five minutes into downloading this and I already love it. You can immediately tell this was made by an artist, for artists.

Need to get back into this project and wrap it up

I'm proud to announce Siegecaster, an active skill-based siege defense game. It will be ready for everyone to check out next month as part of the Steam Next Fest! RTs appreciated! store.steampowered.com/app/3138350/...

I've been working on a master material for a new #Gamedev collab I'm doing & I was inspired by a post by @jakebenbow.bsky.social in which assets were made using Vertex Colour and texture overlays. I wanted some additional control so I added use of various UV channels; 🧵

Every year, I tell myself, This is the year for more personal projects! And every year... well, here we are again. But hey, I did start a blog! (Okay, fine, I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus thanks to some medical stuff, but still --it counts, right? 😂) #ArtStationRecap2024

Got one more project that I wanted to get finished before the end of 2024, but it's still been a good year. Excited to move on to even bigger and better things in 2025! #ArtStationRecap2024

Personal step up: Modifying an open-source tool to fit my needs 💪 I think I finally found a tool for managing visual refs locally. I'll talk about it in depth soon. Excited!! #gamedev

I am thrilled to present Amberspire, a science-fantasy dice city builder. In the glow of a gas giant, roll dice to build a city in harmony with an alien ecology atop the ruins of an abandoned moon. Wishlist here! store.steampowered.com/app/3350750/...

Onto texturing now, hand painting it #gamedev #gameart #b3d #zBrush #indiedev #seaofthieves

Here’s the WIP of my current Unreal 5 scene

I'm really happy with the way this turned out, and how it straddles the line between realism and stylisation. The materials read well but they've still got that sketchiness that I love more renders on Artstation too: www.artstation.com/artwork/1Nwk63
