My other job is a Space Man

Been working on a character model in my 3D for Games class. Just finished the project and while I'm still going to work om it some more, it's still decent enough to see the light of day through my blog.



We actually began working on this character in the previous semester, in our Drawing for Games class. Then after developing the concept art we brought it over to our 3D class this semester and brought it into UDK. Textures still need work but that'll get done later.

Project Aurora

One of my thesis ideas has passed Pre-Production. This means I have a passing grade for that class and will be allowed to continue to Senior year! Yaaay! Now I can come up with any random thing for the next half of my thesis pre-pro class. (We need to come up with two in the semester.)

The passing idea is based off of magnetism. It's set in the near future where the Earth's magnetic field has weakened and faded away, allowing solar winds and radiation to bombard the surface of the planet.


The player has to maneuver a magnetic ball through an abandoned city and reach a giant machine that can restore the planet's magnetic field.


Once the machine activates however, an intense wave of solar winds enter the atmosphere and destroys the machine. The balls magnetic properties get transferred to the player in this process and they now become the magnet.


A friend of mine, Michale Hosticka, had developed a functional version of the mechanic last year
We worked together to develop the story and concepts, theses are a few of the pieces I created for this project




In the beginning of this project we had an entirely different world and story
that involved a society of robots and an evil corporation.

We abandoned it because it made the project too large for us to handle as a two person team.

Youtube Channel

I have a YouTube channel set up to showcase some of my work. Currently I have the camera fly throughs of two environments I showed in the previous post but more videos will be posted later.

All of these videos are of projects done collaboratively with fellow students. The first is a five man team and the second is a three man team.

The art dump of all art dumps

It's been awhile and it's been busy. Lots of class work with lots of ups and downs. Hard to believe this was just the first semester of Junior year, it felt like an entire year of work. Although a lot of the work I did was lost in the fast paced semester. Let's see what I can gather together.

The Greydell Catastrophe

A few pieces I created for a Dungeons and Dragons game my friend was putting together. I'm usually the Dungeon Master with these games but the tables have turned for me and now I am taking the seat of a player.

Dig Deep

Character concept for a "Dungeon Master" from Dungeons and Dragons


Paint over of a level design for a class


Illustration depicting mechanics for a small game
that never reached an end in development


This blog has been dead for a while since I forgot about it for so long. Here's a few pieces that I've found when digging through my computer that I figured should go up online. More will come, honest
