Leavon's portfolio...
Hi Folks,
I guess I'm an industry vet as I've been in the games biz for around 20 years. I started out doing pixel art for 8 bit platformers such as Robocod and Rolo to the rescue. My first 3D work was character modelling for a PS1 game called MediEvil after which I specialised as a character/concept artist.
Over the years I've worked for the likes of Sony, Eurocom, Rebellion and Sumo but for the last 3 years I've been freelance, working for games and pre-vis studios and mixing it up with some lecturing.
In my spare time I'm working on a short live action/CG film called Iron Star,I'm hoping to have the film finished in the first half of next year. I've included a few renders of the star of the show below.
More work can be found at my website:

Thanks for having a look.
Cheers,
Leavon.

I've got a few other pics of IS so I might sub the snowey pic.
I have no doubt you are extremely talented being so experienced and all but if your looking to impress people the most with your work I would at the very least switch up the order of these and put the POTC pieces first. Nice work you have there!
The 8/ 16-bit platformers like Robocod and Rolo To The Rescue are what got me into wanting to do game-art int eh first place so it's awesome to see your current stuff here
The peeling paint on the tractor looks epic, would you mind sharing your workflow for that?
Thanks Sam, nice to know they are remembered
Ummm, stay at school and don't do drugs? Seriously, just do it, the more you do it the better you'll get. Try and soak up as much art as you can, traditional, comics, fantasy, whatever it all helps to build a visual memory and style.
Thanks fella, it's not a game asset, but it's rigged, all the chains and tracks move etc. He's built for a short live action film I'm making with a few other arists,(Cakeypigdog above being one of them).
Thankyou, the paint is just a diffuse, bump and a specular map on a Blinn shader. Just made sure that the rust was bumpy and that it was knocked back a bit in the spec, it came out pretty well.
