My map for Quake Brutalist Jam III: The Smell of Sunshine.
Video game screenshot from Quake Brutalist Jam III. An underground level of a sunlit enclosed courtyard. Everything is made of concrete and hanging vines are visible. The ground level of the same courtyard. A multi-tiered bunker-like structure with angular shapes stands in the middle, above the pit. Soldiers stand guard. A much bleaker scene; the cavernous interior of some sort of megastructure. Bluish fog wraps around a tiered structure and hints at the forms of distant pipes. No sky is visible. A substructure, reminiscent of a parking garage, but with unclear purpose. Short flights of stairs connect several levels lit by regularly-spaced overhead flourescent lights, and there are various sizes of blue storage containers in the background.

‘It’s the underground Met Gala of concrete murderzone design’: welcome to the Quake Brutalist Game Jam
Quake Brutalist Jam began as a celebration of old-fashioned shooter level design, but its latest version is one step away from being a game in its own right

screenshots of the startmap I built for qbj3 or Quake Brutalist Jam III
some fancy bits in here will be in the coming update, like the paintings and plaques
a dreary sky, a lonely grey concrete tower in the center. there are chambers on the base that a person can enter with stairs leading up to them a brutalist concrete lobby, with nice carpet, furniture, and plants hanging from suspended planters. the lighting is warm and welcoming a cavernous gallery room, with a high ceiling and artificial sun panels pouring warm diffused light into the room. there is a statue of a floating octahedron in the center. plants and vines hang down from the walls. the room branches off into other chambers. view of a tall, oddly shaped hallway. carpet down the whole length. on the left there is seating, a cabinet, and a large painting of some abstract rock formation.

I also made a map for it - "The Oppressing Facade". Thanks a ton to the QBJ3 team for making basically a new super polished and audiovisually stunning game. I can't stress enough how high the production value for it is!

had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now!
there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too!

Screenshots from my map for Quake Brutalist Jam 3, including a view of (mostly) the entire layout.

I tried for something a little more traditionally Quake with smaller, cramped rooms contrasted with areas that open up a little more.
Full view of the map via noclip. Screenshot showing 4 towers, each numbered. Screenshot of an outdoor area with a lava pit below. Triangular archways and pillars, lit from above by fluorescent bulbs.

So at this stage I won't be completing this for QBJ3, just far too burned out, but hey this is what I was chipping away at in my spare time. A massive retro brutalist solar-hydro facility. It might look pretty far along but this was like 4 art-tested rooms of 40. I got a bit excited blocking it out.

Published my work and process on designing the look and feel of the Cosmic Realm for DOOM: The Dark Ages!

This was a fun project to help guide the other amazing artists on our art team generate work based on a new and unique art style!

The grand staircase (this was a fucking nightmare to make)
This is a large foyer, all clad in white marble. There are two large, bending staircases on either side. In the middle is a circular overlook. The room is bathed in the moonlight coming from the left, and illumated with gas lights and candles.
