Concept Art Highlights

Tom
by tomcartoonist on 31 May 2023 for Rookie Awards 2023

Highlights from studying 2D animation, concept art and game design. I absolutely love drawing anything cartoony, quirky and fun. It'd be a dream to contribute art to professional video games & animations one day. Thanks :-)

Seen below is a collection of my original character designs,
created during my recent degree in 2D Animation.
The first two were designed as rigs in ToonBoom Harmony for 2D Animation,
and the third character was done in Photoshop for Production Art Class.

These next works are taken from my Final Assignment in Production Art Class.
The task was to re-imagine a children's book,
which I chose The Haunted Mask by R.L. Stine as my basis of inspiration.
This was a lengthy assignment (3 months!) and I loved creating every element of it.

This section here is for a PC game which I conceptualised and co-created for Uni.
My role was to direct/produce the game, providing initial concepts for characters and backgrounds, finished art and animation for characters, co-puzzle planning, story planning and script writing, voice actor recording/direction, soundtrack composition, and regular team-based admin/correspondence tasks.

This was completed at the end of our degree in Jan 2023,
but we are continuing to refine and improve the game into the future.
Included are mostly my contributions to the project however,
Adam drew all finished background & prop art and Finn programmed all gameplay.

Created by Tom Winspear, Adam Symmons and Finn Ferguson-Cumming.
I hope you enjoy our game:
