    'Improve your Boss Designs' Art Workshop for ImagineFX Magazine
    I was commissioned by Imagine FX magazine to create a workshop to be printed in issue 208 of their magazine. It was to go through the steps of designing a boss character for an indie video - outlining the processes involved in the conceptual stages before handover to an animator. I wrote and illustrated the 15 step guide, with conceptual sketches, finished art and then a key art piece to accompany the final work. The workshop was later reprinted and featured on the cover of the 'Imagine FX Annual Vol 6' illustrator
    Mortimer Beast Hunter - Personal Project

    ‘Mortimer Beast Hunter’ was a personal project of mine that I worked as an online interactive story, where readers would follow along reading a weekly chapter and then voting on an outcome that would steer the direction of the next part of the story. I wrote each chapter with accompanying illustrated pages, and readers with a paid subscription could add additional requests to their interaction - such as collecting and using items that they could see within the illustrations - for example if a knife were on the kitchen table, a reader could request to pick the knife up and add it to the inventory to potentially use in a later chapter.
    The project became a full world building exercise, with concept art, character, prop and environment design, graphic design - including, layouts, logos and UI design.
