Hey, I'm Alex, I am a freelance artist who specializes in character artwork. I can do painting, illustration, concept art, design in a range of different styles.
My background is in traditional art, and I have been working in digital for 10+ years. I have experience working professionally on long term projects involving both 2D and 3D work. I have skills in a wide range of digital programs for illustration, games design and animation.
I am currently open for new commissions, please get in touch.
Thanks!
Some of the types of work undertaken:
Greek Mythology re-told, a Youtube education series.
Character design & animation
I worked closely with the writer/director to design and produce 2D character actors, representing important characters in a retelling of famous ancient Greek stories. The first part of the work was developing a style for the artwork and characters that suited the animation style they desired, as well as stylistic techniques for highlighting more important characters. The bulk of the work was to produce 2D characters in multiple poses and expressions to specification and deadline.
Devils Tower, independent game project.
Character concept artwork
The developer was again looking for stylistic development alongside the character concept, so preliminary studies and experiments were developed with feedback until a style that they felt was suitable. Then concept art for the main character was developed, along with possible equipment applicable in later development.
The Moment is a digital media production company that aims to push gamified learning solutions. I worked as part of a small team creating in house graphics to be used in training packages for clients such as General Dynamics, Babcock and Carnival Cruises. A project we are most proud of has been working with General Dynamics to produce a virtual reality solution to show off their new line of AJAX tanks, developed using Unity 5 and the consumer Oculus Rift.
