I've reworked this image, I just wasn't happy with the original background.
Hopefully it works much better now :)
The Quest is largely inspired by the writings of the author David Gemmell.

To mark the soon to be released Fox & the Peach book

I've created a new image featuring the main character Momo.

and it's at the moment when she is about to transform into the Fox.

After 11 year as a Concept/Games artist at BlackRock Studio Disney Interactive Almost a 100 of us are being made redundant. Mixed emotions, but it seems like a good time to really start to use this blog and to kick things off I'll start posting some of the images done while working at the studio.
Apologies for posting stuff you may have seen elsewhere.

A few years back when the studio was Climax Racing we started Pre-Production on a new version of the classic SEGA game Crazy Taxi. It was great fun working on these characters, a real downer that the game never got made by us :(
Here's just a few of the character concepts I was lucky enough to do.
