AAA Salon: Game Hair Creation

I am a Lead/Senior Character artist at Ubisoft. I have over 10 years Experiences in the games industry.

I first started my career at Rare Microsoft, working on the Xbox avatars, the little characters that you can make into yourself and by clothing for yep them.

I then proceeded to work at travels tales and work on the pirates of the Caribbean Lego as an environment artist, I decided environment art really wasn’t for me and proceeded to go back working as a character artist for a company called Lockwood were I worked on Playstation home. I continued working on PlayStation home for about a year for Lockwood and another company called Ndreams. I felt like I wanted to work on a game again working on clothing for characters was fun, but I really wanted to work on a full production again.

So, I landed a job as a character artist at National Motion where I worked on the mobile game Dawn of Titans. This was a fun project to work on and I learnt a lot on this project. I then got the opportunity to work for a company that did 3d printing and shop window displays for Louis Vuitton. I thought this was an amazing opportunity. I was here for about 6 months and although it was fun seeing my creations come to life, I really missed working in the games industry.

So, I got contacted for a Job at Lionhead Studios. I couldn’t believe it this was a company I have always wanted to work for. So, I started my new role as a senior Character artist, yes, a senior getting old now by this point. I loved it at Lionhead I got to work on Fabel legends. The one day we got the horrible news that Microsoft was going to be closing the studio and cancel the project. This was a very sad day for me as I Loved it at Lionhead.

I then got approached by Ubisoft asking me would I be interested in relocating to Canada. Hell yeah this was an amazing opportunity so I jumped at it and I got to work on the amazing Assassins Creed Odyssey. 3 years later and I am Still at Ubisoft and am now leading a new project, it's been an awesome opportunity to take this role and develop my skills.

So, if you liked my blurb please come and join me in this adventure of creating AAA hair for Games.
