New Website is LIVE!

I have finally created a website to make it easier to display and view my work.  Please check it out at:

Recent Artwork

A recent background painting I did for the

upcoming short film Boxer Story. 

FX Demo Reel - Arcane Legends

Video contains in game samples of my VFX work on Arcane Legends.  I was the sole FX artist on the project, responsible for all combat, environmental and miscellaneous VFX.  I also was responsible for creating the visual style for the VFX.

Sample Game Prop - Mechanical Wall Piece

Sample world prop in Unreal 3 editor.

Sample Game Prop - Tufted Wingback Chair

Sample world prop in Ureal 3 editor.

Production Work - Cancelled Star Wars game

Here are props I've made using 3ds Max and Zbrush used in an environment from a recently cancelled project using Unreal. I placed and created the asteroid wall, the structures attached to the asteroid wall, rocks, crates, cargo nets and hanging banner.

(Other artists were responsible for the remaining hard surface geometry, lighting, skybox and effects.)

Production Work - Cancelled Star Wars game

I created the door from some Star Wars concept art and then hand painted the normals using nDo in Photoshop.

I created a quarter section of higher poly crate, reduced the polys by removing edge loops for my in game model and baked normals in 3ds Max. I then duplicated the quarters by mirroring them to create the whole crate. I added other normal details using nDo and then generated my diffuse and spec maps in Photoshop once I decided the normals were final.

This asteroid began as a simply mesh in 3ds Max that had an irregular profile from all angles. I then brought it into Zbrush to generate detailed version and paint color map. I exported back to Max, used the reto tools to generate my in game model (as I had deformed my original mesh) and baked my normal and AO maps.

All props above are shown in Unreal static mesh viewer using Unreal materials.

These are screen shots of multi-player levels. The multi-player is similar to Super Smash Bros. in design, hence the "front only" view .

I got to do a few vehicles in the game. Here is the Z-95 Headhunter (precursor to the X-Wing.)

Stylized Mausoleum

Prop for graveyard themed world. 

Concept Art

Mafia Game 3d Environments

Environment in Unity
Environment in Maya
Wireframe in Maya
The palace is the main location for our 3d version of the turn based fights. All modeling, textures and lighting by me. Texture and poly limits are similar to PS2/Wii.


The store environment was done to show we could match the target concept art given to us (below). (Character is just placeholder from Godfather 2 console assets.)
