Attrition – Fortress London

There has only ever been one world war and it persists, endless in its catastrophe. The great powers of Europe rage against one another. Their cities are either craters of irradiated dust… or hulking fortresses… glorified factories of both people and machines of destruction.

Fortress London – The Great Citadel. The Ministry of War. An enormous, hardened bunker stands defiantly on the horizon. Bristling with AA guns.

Attrition – Ubermensch

A quick sketch I did a while ago, just messing around with mood and atmosphere for a German heavy infantry set in my ‘Attrition’ alternate WW1 universe IP.

Civilization VI: Rise & Fall Concept Art

Here is a selection of items I designed for the Rise & Fall expansion for Civilization 6. I originally intended to post more behind the curtain stuff with thumbnails etc – but I’d have to go through and gussy them up for publishing with logos and all that jazz. When I get time maybe.

XCOM – 2

I was brought on to design some of the E3 presentation and small-town locations. After that I was given almost total responsibility for the Slums environments, designing (nearly) every aspect of the location. Super fun!
