A Little Christmas gift me and the talented Chris Cox worked on for Preloaded.

Hope everyone has a festively good Christmas.

WONDERMIND

For any of those who follow me on Twitter, you would by now, already know that I recently began interning at Preloaded. In the past few months I have been working on Wondermind doing all the art and animation.

Wondermind is a set of games for children that uses Lewis Carroll's story of Alice in Wonderland to help us understand the curious ways our brains work. It was made to coincide with the Alice in Wonderland exhibition at the Tate Liverpool this month, the game will also be playable at the exhibition.

I had a tonne of fun working on this project. Being able to work on a game that concentrated on a journey of discovery was a real delight, you can imagine that I was equally excited by the prospect of working on an Alice in Wonderland project too.

If you want to find out more about the art of Wondermind and see some of my earlier development work on the project, you can take a peek at the Artwork Blogpost.

THE SWINDLE

(more Swindle work can be seen on my website)

Recently I got the amazing opportunity to do some concept art for Size Five Games's upcoming game 'The Swindle' and had a tonne of fun doing it.

I got the word that it would be a steampunk orientated game and got a little too excited - probably putting a tonne of programming nightmares onto the plate. Thankfully Dan Marshall was always enthusiastic about the ambitious ideas I presented him and was a pleasure to work with.

You can find out more about the game here: The Swindle

I'm very keen to see and play the final game, the early screenshots look brilliant.

A MYSTERY

There's also a website: www.detectivegrimoire.com. Very psyched.

ON THE RUN

With the hope that one day I can make a side-scrolling western platformer - shoot 'em up - collect 'em up - everything else 'em up - plot driven game.

Based pretty much off of an earlier bit of work.

TAKING A SCROLL

My blog is hungering for a update.

Currently doing a small series of side scrolling parallax backgrounds.

Here's 2 so far. Who knows.. maybe I can use them in a game one day.

A quick bit of concept art before I run head-first into an unplanned disaster.

BRAIN DIARRHEA

Just getting some images

out of my head.

This is a shape challenge I did recently to to get my character designing going again! Been doing backgrounds for such a long time that I was hoping I hadn't lost my ability to draw people.
