Looking for work in Europe

  • Seems to have been a while since I did a character design, and the first i have completed in a pen and marker technique!

    Brief was fairly open: Barbarian Warrior, something along the lines of Conan.

  • More additions in my folio redesign. I'm done with creatures (for now) and on to environments.

    will post in exhibition section for crits etc.

  • currently re(x3)doing my illustration folio. Aiming to get it looking more 'professional concept artist' and less... stinky! ... no I mean less aimless illustrator ...less whatever it was!

    So fingers crossed this is latest work is on the…

  • 3rd in my series of roadster concepts- Overall theme of this personal project was to explore design variations within a roadster format.

    This addition to the series was created entirely in Photoshop (except the mags, I admit I appropriated…

  • The latest sketches from my sketch book, With a bit of colour added. Will post them to the exhibition section too for comments :)

  • Yet another painting in my Architecture series, possibly the last one for this batch. Definitely the most finished one so far, although technically still a WIP (I've glossed over the ocean for starters)

    It will be added to my thread in the…

  • This time some architecture/city-scape concept sketches. I have done very little of this type of subject matter in the past (virtually none!) so I thought it would be a good subject to have a practice at.

    As with my previous postings, I…

  • Sketches examining a roman/greek style guard. This work in progress has been posted in the Exhibition section for comments/crits.

    ...I will get onto an avitar soon!

  • sketches in progress. Still needs some technical design aspects addressed (thanks for the feed back folks)

  • I have been sketching some quadruped vehicles recentily (a topic that I have not had a lot of practice with.) I am also experimenting with colouring techniques > Aiming for a fast technique that helps to describe the forms/volumes, and matches…

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.

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.
