Hey Everyone!

I think it's a good time to announce what I have been up to for the last few months. After leaving Halo Infinite and AAA I have decided to start a little studio, North Peak Entertainment!

another daily concept piece that I just wrapped up! I'm really liking the results of this and finally captured a good process video to show how I use Blender to build out the concept.

this one took around 2.5 hours from block in to final touches.

Back with another daily concept piece. I did a demo with my students today on using Blender for concepting environments and keyframes.

I'm calling this Icehorn Castle and imagine it would fit into a dark souls style game or universe

More of the animation is coming together slowly. I haven't animated since college so this whole project has been a huge leap of faith.

I just finished watching Klaus for the 5000000 time. God I love this movie and it's animation.

Another update, This is the arm of the main character fully being rendered in unreal. It's been a year on this project and it started with a script idea after watching arcane. Now I'm starting to be more public about it as I feel it's visually ready.

So I've spent the last year working on my game and currently am leading up to an official reveal but I couldn't help to share this bit of animation I did last night 😁 still lots to do on it.

Question for fellow game devs. How long would you make your demo?

15, 20, or 30 minutes?

Hey folks, I've been exploring some ideas on creating a new series as kind of an outlet from my game dev job.

I'm thinking of a 3D based comic with some animation stuff thrown into the mix.

Here is some of the design work I was doing for my Witcher version of Link.

The goal was to build up layers and keep things grounded in realism.

Here is some work from my previous art direction project this year, which combines The Witcher and Legend of Zelda. This is the character breakdown for the overall design and materials.

Here is a redesign of Link inspired by the Witcher!

I just finished up a batch of characters for my game and realized I've produced about the equivalent of a small army of characters that will be existing throughout the whole experience!

Feels awesome to see it coming together after a year of hard work

So I've been solo developing my first game after working on 3 AAA shooters, it's so damn refreshing to work on something I want to play.
