I asked Iain to draw a guest pinup of my demonic character Lusi Sulfura.  And he did.

This is the latest Playstation Home game I’ve been involved in as part of games company Veemee.

Building games is such a collaborative effort that it’s difficult to separate out any one person’s contribution, but I think it’s fair to say that I was responsible for most of the visual design of the game (again with huge input from my creative and artistic directors).  I also built most of the geometry, with the exception of Oscar’s fantastically disturbing head and the lobsters, which were built by my much more talented and experienced colleagues.  I also made the fake backstory artwork, which was good fun.

I think this is the first game I’ve been involved in that actually looks like something I would draw.  Really happy with it.

I’ll be at the awards in Lille in April in case anyone wants to hear me speaking offensively bad french.

The story had to be open to interpretation by using different dialogue; I usually have a full script written before I start drawing, but this time I just sat down and started drawing one panel after another until I had the three pages.  Stressless cartooning.  If you’re familiar with my usual comic work the subject matter won’t surprise you too much.

I have a vague idea of a story now I’ve finished it, so I’m interested to see what other people will come up with - hopefully something completely different.  Have a go yourself, if you’re bored.  Send me links.

His new website is finally online. GAZE UPON IT.

It’s a penalty shootout game called SUPAFUNROBOGOALIETIME! in which you have to defeat the SUPAFUNROBOGOALIE.  Watching over you from the screen above is SUPA REFEREE CATMAN.

I broadly designed most of the look of the game (with huge input from my artistic and creative directors), including the goalie design, the game area and the SUPA REFEREE CATMAN screen images.  All the character modelling, animation and of course the coding was done by much cleverer and more talented people.

I’d been asked to do some illustrations for a dirty board game, but the cash ran out and it’s been abandoned.

Shame, I was looking forward to the market research chuckle chuckle etc etc oh fine forget it.
