Hi Bluesky, I'm Joel and I'm a UK based hard surface artist with 8 years of game industry experience. I'm currently making guns for Star Citizen, here's a collection of some of them:

#GameDev
First person perspective inspecting an assault rifle. The rifle is made in a mad max style where parts are missing and other parts are welded together. Same rifle as the previous image from a different perspective. The rifle is seen from the barrel tip. A tractor beam for a spaceship. It has a circular sci fi look about it and it is placed on a work bench in the image. A shouldered sci fi weapon placed on a crate. It has a very techy design with exposed wiring and areas of high frequency detailing.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

A little over two years ago I was commissioned to create art for the "time-traveling, heist-building drafting game for 2-6 players" Zeit Heist from Blue Rondo Games. Check out the crowdfunding campaign and support it if you can!

I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.

What do I say to my barber if I want this haircut?
Movie prop of Frankenstein's experiment from the new Del Toro movie. The experiment is part of a human corpse, the top of the head is cut open leaving the brain exposed.
