Writing

Great, it's 2020. You know what I learned over Christmas? That I need to do some actual illustration so the other 364 days of the year don't feel quite so miserable.

That almost sounds like I've sent someone into space. Just to clarify, I haven't. I made them a website. Subtle difference.

Our time in Tomsk draws to a close as we enjoy one final day of relaxation.

It's time to take our awesome new motion capture stage and create something that could actually resemble a game. I emphasise my use of the term 'could'.

I recently compared laser scanning with photogrammetry for creating game assets, to see which would be the superior approach. Turns out, combining both might actually be the preferable solution.

Laser scanning and close range photogrammetry go head to head. Which will transpire to be the superior solution for getting my lovely, replica Tyrannosaurus Rex skull into a game engine?

Today marks the first of three without a show. Such days can be expensive, but they also mean we get to experience more of a place than usual. Which is good.

Spud was a great white shark I worked with briefly in Gansbaai, South Africa. What made this shark was special, was that we technically met some ten months before.

Can you imagine a bigger waste of time for a game engine? Except for Alien: Colonial Marines, Lawbreakers and anything Peter Molyneux released post Lionhead Studios.

An incredible range of physical and digital art installations unified by British Ceramics, is now open to the public. Come see our stuff!

Monterey Bay Aquarium released a short film, comprising footage of the white shark we tracked swimming through kelp in South Africa, 2017. It's boss.

Our motion capture stage at Staffordshire University was recently the subject of a massive upgrade. One of the benefits of which is live streaming into game engines such as our beloved UE4.

Mega chuffed to have been involved with this project, which raises awareness of the causes and consequences of genocide within Jewish cemeteries.

Opening September 6th at The Spode Museum Trust Heritage Centre, this event invites guests to engage with the site's incredible and historically valuable collection of moulds.

Today we travel to Tomsk. Not to be confused with Omsk. We've already been to Omsk. Now we're going to Tomsk. Different place, mate.

Our show in Novosibirsk is cancelled and so, a day of relatively relaxed driving between cities awaits us.

Krupskaya's first album in fifteen years releases next week, as does the start of our tour across Czech Republic, Indonesia, Malaysia, Dubai and Lebanon.

Dépayser, the second full length album from Black Metal band Nyss, is available now for pre-order on Avantgarde music.
