Updates coming soon

Monday, July 5th, 2010

I’ve been so busy recently that this site has been neglected. In a way the website’s success was it’s own downfall as I got so busy with client work that I had no time to update it. Well updates are on their way! I’ve just finished the coding of a new xml/flash gallery to show new work (where I’m allowed), I just need to do all the graphics and it will be up.. probably replacing my “death to IE6 artwork”. I’m also thinking about some tutorials for those flash designers out there that want to try their skills at After Effects. Nothing to compare to the excellent videocopilot.net, more like how to transfer what you already know to AE.

So yeah, all that coming soon.

the Meaning Fall game

the Meaning Fall game


Congratulations to the boys at mbxgames for winning 3rd spot in the Dictionary.com “Word Play” contest run by mochiland. There was a lot of stiff competition and the quality was very high so it’s a real achievement. It’s also worth noting that this was the highest rated entry from the entire UK. This isn’t an entirely selfless post as I did the character design and animation for the game. It’s called “Meaning Fall” and is a word guessing game which uses dictionary definitions for clues. Similar to a hangman type game and with similar fatal consequences. (more…)

Star Wars wallpaper – Empire on Patrol

Empire on Patrol

Empire on Patrol

This is a Star Wars inspired desktop wallpaper I made for my dual view set up. It turned out ok so I thought I would share it with the world. The ships are not mine (although I have permission to use them) but everything else is. (more…)

transporter effect

transporter effect

Get Adobe Flash player

This is an unused effect demo for the Enemy Territory banner campaign. We were looking for cool ways to have the weapons come in so I thought would make some kind of transporter. I made this in an afternoon using Flash combined with Flash Particle Studio.

I really like it, but in the end it was a bit processor and bandwidth heavy to use on website banners.

Isometric Buildings

Isometric Buildings

Isometric Buildings

Tasked with creating an interactive isometric city, here are some examples of my building designs that I created. All were drawn completelty in Flash with the use of an isometric grid in the background. The buildings themselves were placed inside the city which was a scrollable isometric city. The site itself hasn’t stood the test of time but I still think the individual buildings look cool.
