I could get a decent desktop bare bones for about 400 quid, but obviously its not as portable, though cases are quite…

This tutorial is for people who are wanting to take a stab at using a more current gen work flow for video game art creation.

I'm going for a (somewhat) tacky 80s style with plenty of use and abuse heaped on. Designed with current gen FPS specs in mind. Diffuse: Spec:…

Hey guys, I dont think I ever got around to posting up some of the work that Splash Damage did on the Arkham Origins Multiplayer. We worked with Warner Montreal on the title and it was a lot fun to develop. Coincidentally we are now hiring for a next gen project. This is just a sample of the great work completed by the…
Hey, I'm new here and I was working on the planning stage of my revamped demo reel. I had a question though regarding style...if I were to do an environment in a cartoony style like Sam and Max or Penny Arcade, would that catch a dev company's eye? My only worry is that it doesn't show alot of advanced next gen texturing,…
