Photoshop Smoke Brush

It can take a bit of setting up to get a good effects brush in Photoshop, but it’s a skill worth having. It lets you build your own tool set and also teaches you how to break down effects and really understand them.

I hope you enjoy.

Delicious iPhone/DS resolution food. All these items use a single 32×32 diffuse texture and have handheld poly counts.

Outsider Mutator

I’ve gotten a few requests recently to put the links back up for my Outsider mutator for UT2K4. It’s a really simple third-person mode that looks a little like Gears of War, but doesn’t slow the gameplay down.

The old links still work, but in case you’ve lost them, here it is. It’s great to see that people are still getting a kick out of 2K4.

I’ve been getting back into pixel art lately after a break of about six years (!) Here’s progress on an head avatar, currently 9 colours.

Later: Here’s an update – with a few tweaks.

Even later: I think this will be the final.

Wraith update

I’ve reworked some parts of Wraith, particularly the arms, the sleeve and the face. There’s a bit of a base colour coat for the skin as well as the leather trousers.
