Various pieces of marketing artwork and infographics I produced at Build A Rocket Boy for the studio's first title, MindsEye.
Spent most of my time during development working on other projects, but was brought over to work on a few promotional bits and pieces.

10 years to the day since a poster competition I entered at the end of high school resulted in my design showing up in front of Ryan Gosling

I’ve wanted to make some art of the aquarium scene from Chainsaw Man for a while now.
Spent ridiculously long researching Japanese aquarium infographics and getting everything down to even the pipe layout matching the manga panels, but feel it was worth it 🫠

Thank you for all the love on the Project Borealis work I shared tonight - a few of those pieces are several years old, and it’s so satisfying to set them free and let people see some of the hard work behind what we’re making.
I’ve updated my ArtStation with these pieces - chromestag.artstation.com

Icebreaker Industeies splash screen. Was responsible for the background and character art, animation edits and adding the visual distortion effects to reach parity with Valve’s splash screens.

Steam Achievement icons for Project Borealis: Prologue. I designed these to closely match the original art direction of Half-Life 2’s achievements, albeit in a higher resolution and with a snowy vignette to make them stand out as ours.
