You got a nice feel for the environment, I wonder if you apply as level designer, or you got other stuff except of environments...

However they are all pretty good, keep going..

i like the sense of design in all of them. i think your sketches with a little value in them seem more clear. is this as far as you usually take your concept work- or to you illustrate/render it more? just curious.

Nice work, cool fish eye persp on that first one :) If I was interviewing I know I'd ask to see something in colour, not that you drawings here need it, just to see how you'd handle colour.

I'm into that kind of environmental stuff for games too. I'd be interested to hear more about it because I'd like to get into that field in the UK myself (in a year or so) -doing environmental concepts / level design)

Anyway, good luck and let us know how you get on.

i use old school non computer colouring techniques ie paint and watercolour. i just got painter 7 but since i have no tablet well using a mouse seems a wee bit insane for some daft reason, thanks for the comments. ive done video work my self and classical animation but im trying to get into the games industry in the uk, been back and forward to there from ireland for over 4 months now, still im trying and the only advice i can gice is given recruitment agencies i wide bert, since ther eonly interested in people with games expereince and if you dont have it its a polite f off 90 % of the time. the only one that did not give me that response was aardvark, but noting came of it but they were nice and did take the time to hear me out. so there not all bad
