The icons above were all made in Photoshop-CS4. Many times reference images were used. Sketching was done first at 1024 pixels (squared). Then painting commenced.

I would be thrilled to do more GUI work in the future.

Starflight: The Last Colony, is a labor of love that myself and many others dedicated nearly 2 years of our lives to. I had the honor of being asked to be the Lead Artist on this project. I was responsible for all HUD elements, icons, and other art assets.

Forgotten Isles was to be one of the first projects my buddies and I would embark on in College. We knew we wanted to appeal to a broad audience, and also make a social game. While the goals were lofty, the specs weren’t to be too high, we knew we wanted to be able to play in a browser.

What follows is UI concept work, as well as some character work done early on. Ultimately we realized our education came first and the technology wasn’t there yet. Flash now supports 3D objects. Someday…
