From India!

I've been working for Ubisoft in India for the last 5 months, it's been a fantastic experience and I have learned so much, not only from the studio but from the country.

I've got permission to upload my studio work once the game is released in September, but for now I'm trying to keep personal game art projects going after I get home each evening, heres what I've managed to get done:


Queen Victoria sculpture based on a copper statue in Liverpool. I created the high poly and retopologised in Zbrush. This took eight weeks(!) but I've been exploring a beautiful foreign country and working full time :)




This old woman was very beautiful, her face had so much life and her eyes were incredible. When I first saw her, I thought she was blind, but blue eyes are a rarity here. Tried to exaggerate the complimentary colour scheme

Speed paint from life, 1hour



I've been very inspired by Hindu deities, so this is the demon slaying goddess Kali. "Her sword is the destroyer of false consciousness and the eight bonds that bind us."

I also did some paintings and concepts of the Hindu God Rama. I've read two translations of the Ramayana story and made some interpretations of him. These are WIPs that I don't think I'll come back to, but they were fun :)


Just to finish up with some quick sketches - some of these were done at work while I was waiting for programs to load. I'm going to try to finish this large 3D project I'm working on now before I come back to England in March.
