So this weekend I attended the #schoolism workshop, it's my 3rd one now and gets better with each year. This time we got to see Wesley Burt, Karla Ortiz, and Jeff Turley do live demos. These guys have worked on the biggest games, animated films such as Ubisoft, Disney, etc.... But the highlight for me was meeting my artist hero, Nathan Fowkes, I chatted away to him for some time at the after party until the lights went up. I trained with him on 2 full courses and he even remembered my work! Here are some photos from the event, including my signed sketch book. The best weekend ever! Thanks #schoolism #bobbychiu #nathanfowkesart

Finished! After thinking this would be a quick way to refresh my 3D modelling skills, it actually took a little longer than I thought it would. However, I am happy with it and can now move onto other props for my game :)

I had a great weekend playing around with some styles, I added a splash of colour for now but when I have some time I would like to complete them.

I started making some props for my game, more to come!

Personal piece for my game, this character isn't what she seems... Using her siren like magic to beckon beings and creatures to her silent call she uses potions and magic to defeat her foes. Wouldn't you rather have this deadly beauty as an ally?

Goya is a new character I have been working on for my game, he has a tiger spirit who he summons when in battle to help him destroy enemies.

Quick 2 hour study of the late David Bowie after hearing the sad news yesterday...

Happy New Year! And welcome to my blog, I have been attending some life drawing classes in the evenings after my day job as a games artist. This year I want to create 4 different human characters to give a bit of diversity to my portfolio. After that I am going to include them in my own game, so lots going on here and let's all keep drawing, 2016 is going to be great for art!

I created some chibi styled characters for an art test, it was a little challenging, but fun to explore a new style!

Recently I have been experimenting with characters, trying to find the right degree of cartoon/ realism to build on. Here are a few examples-

Working on another piece I did on my last course with Nathan Fowkes, I just liked the idea of this one. It reminds me of the sort of books I use to read as a teenager by Robin Jarvis and Brian Jacques. The value is ready now so I can finish it off in colour :)

Had a lot of fun working on this piece, took a couple days. I wanted it to have a Zelda feel to it and it might be a style I explore a bit more.

Working on something new, trying to combine my 2D & 3D
