Looking for work in Europe

  • I don't seem to keep my journal very up-to-date with what I am producing. So it's high time to do a bit of an update... and here it is!

    some sketchbook environments in pen, a second GTA style illustration just to prove the first wasn't a…

  • This piece has been created to display (and practice) alternate styles / techniques.. In the style of Rockstars game - Grand Theft Auto. Created using Photoshop and Freehand.

  • whilst waiting for the next quick 2d activity I though I would 'doodle' a face in a few spare hours. Things got a little out of hand and a more or less finished painting have been the result.

    Created in Painter with a little Photohshop and…

  • Seems a while since I've posted any 2d work! This little painting is a revisited character concept that I originally did as a model sheet excercise (it's was posted here some time back).

    Created in Photoshop :)

  • A revisited personal project. The original project was a set of different air/space craft finished to a pen and marker stage.

    This piece was created entirely in photoshop.

  • finally managed to get some thing done to post to the mod concept art thread!

  • Refining the processes of creating a character concept and model sheet. all tone and colour added in Photoshop. Initial drawing were pencil on paper.

  • I have finally invested in a tablet :) and this as the first more-or-less finished painting. Created with 'Corel Painter Essentials' and some minor photoshop work too.

  • Finally recharged the markers and got around to doing some sketching again! These images are sketched by hand and coloured in P'shop.

  • Well... this is my final painting for the current 'quick activity'. Painted in Photoshop. see thread for more details on process etc.

I'm currently looking at doing a bit of a jaunt through Europe with the possibility of extending it if I can find some sort of design or illustration work.

Can anyone shed light on a good approach for looking/applying for postions over there?

I think it's best if you try to arrange some meetings with developers before you leave... some of the large studios in Europe (UK in particular) can be very difficult to find once you're there, some don't even display a name on their offices.

You could also try emailing a recruitment agency such as datascope who handle a lot of European devs job placements.

Anyway good luck mate, you'll no doubt run into a few Aussies and Kiwis over there... there's usually 1 or 2 of them hidden deep inside each UK dev studio.
