A project that I completed for my Level 4 Character Concept Design module at the University of Staffordshire. I was given a brief that I had to adhere to, while having to stick to a realistic or stylised realism style.Engel Oswald, a young man eager to prove his worth to his father, the Postmaster. He is expected to dedicate himself to the family business and uphold its motto: "Fast as the Future, Precise as the Past". However, this is easier said than done. His obsession with invention often leads to disaster. His ultimate goal? To bring the postal service into the new age - whether the world is ready for it, or not.

My FYP from when I studied Game Art & Animation at South & City College Birmingham.
Desiree Valentine is a character who feels as if she doesn't belong where she is, and yearns to be a part of human society. She is inspired by NewJeans' 'Cool With You' music video.

A small project I did for my online brand in 2023. I wanted to design a 'persona', based off of me. His name is Fang, and he is a vampire catboy.
I would love to redo something like this, since my understanding of the character design process is so much more developed now.

A project that I completed for my Level 4 Environment Concept Design module at the University of Staffordshire. I was given the brief to design an environment for a detective adventure game set in 1940s Los Angeles - the loading dock for a factory where a crime boss operates from.
I was given a greybox model in Blender, in which I had to strictly adhere my environment to.

A project that I worked on for my final year project in my first year of studying Game Art & Animation at South & City College Birmingham, tutored by Carl Davis.
The proposal that I had set myself was to create designs based off of a game where players create their own character, but the overall theme was divided between cyberpunk and ancient Chinese culture, with motifs like yin and yang, with the main character being a sorcerer that uses 'technomancy'. There would also be a difference in appearance based off of the level that the player was at, and as the player progressed, they would be able to customise more and more of their character.

From a young age, he was captivated by the ability to bring imaginative worlds and unique characters to life through his art.

For 2 years he studied Game Art and Animation at South & City College Birmingham, where he learned art fundamentals and a range of skills, including 3D modelling and texturing. This is also where he found the realisation of wanting to pursue a career in concept art.
