Jameson Tyler - Games Art 2024 - 2025

Jameson Tyler - Creating UI for a car Game Introduction: Briefing I was asked by the multiplayer Player Group to create iterations of a UI design following a mood board for a car racing game. I decided to base the overall theme on Ancient Greece and its mythology because I realised that most racing games especially rally-based ones choose real life locations which means they are always the same. So Ancient Greece would spice up the genre I believe leaning into the mythology aspect for inspiration. Additionally, The references used for these concepts were from the client's mood board and Rocket League using the UI game database which is an online archive of UI used within multiple games ranging from indie to AAA games. Furthermore, I did two iterations of potential scenes going for different moods and approaches to layout to try and break out of getting too comfortable with one design and viewing things from a new perspective.

 3D printing : Exploring 3D Printing as an Emerging Tech Hero Forge is an online character customization service that allows you to kitbash your own character for 3D printing using a wide array of premade assets. This service is particularly popular among enthusiasts of tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons, as it enables users to create highly personalized miniatures that can be brought to life in their campaigns. Intrigued by the possibilities, I decided to explore Hero Forge by creating a figure of the 11th Doctor from the sci-fi television series "Doctor Who." The platform provided a plethora of customization options, including various facial features, hairstyles, clothing, and accessories, which allowed me to closely replicate the iconic look of the 11th Doctor. I was able to choose his distinctive tweed jacket, bow tie, and even his signature Sonic Screwdriver. The detailed design process was intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to adjust and refine each aspec...

Task : Create a character based on these prompts Steampunk Cowboy Evil Princess Alien Chef (Chosen option) I chose alien chef as I really want to this academic year lean more into creature design as thats a huge pleasure of mine and has so many opportunities for unique designs. Furthermore, one of my favourite animals is squirrels since I spend a good portion of my free time feeding them down the park so I have gained an admiration for these little furry critters so I used them as the main inspiration for my alien chef. Additionally, I noticed I am really bad at drawing plus sized anatomy so really wanted to try make all my thumbnails and eventual final design a very chunky squirrel inspired Alien. For my moodboard I tried drawing inspiration from animals, body types and childhood media such as Skylanders Swap Force and Treasure Planet which both explore animals being humanised in different ways which I thought would help broaden my mind to new perspectives during this project. Showcas...

 Week 1: Create a robot from an allocated Abbreviation "RVSP" The task was to create a robot from the abbreviation RVSP which is for the french saying "répondez s'il vous plaît" which means please reply. However, there were a few conditions we were not allowed to create robot underneath the original definition but instead had to find new words to place underneath each letter and still have it make sense. The words that were chosen were "Royal Village Sorting Platoon" which are a platoon of postage robots commissioned by the royal French Embassy and serve the function of replacing post-men and being able to deliver digital and physical messages more securely as well as provide vital information to local residents. Week 2: Learn how to create Perspective grid in Photoshop The lesson learnt was the correct resolution for art its usually 72PPI for standard art as that is the resolution most screens can handle however if you intend to make a high quality pr...

Introduction: Create a stylised 3D environment from concept art  Greetings, I am Jameson a 3D artist and I was asked by Multiplayer Player Group to make this environment within 3.5k polys. Here is my process of translating concept art into a 3D game asset and the full process of hand painting textures to achieve a stylised finished result. Additionally, the software I used throughout this process will be Blender for the entire modelling process and then Autodesk Maya for UV unwrapping and to finish of Maxon Zbrush for my High Poly Sculpt to use for baking within Adobe Substance Painter. Concept Art: Blocking Out:  To Begin you must start looking for shapes ranging from small to large and try to figure out what will the player see more in detail and what will they not see as much as this will dictate where the distribution of polys must be executed. In the images below you can see today's progress the biggest key objects of the scene have been placed down as a foundation to blo...

 Greetings, my name is Jameson I have been studying Games Art now for 6 years starting off at Coventry College in 2020 originally to try improve at drawing fan art and to begin following a childhood dream of creating worlds for Video Games. However, very quickly I found love for both worlds of 2D & 3D and decided I want to take my education further and after graduating went to Staffordshire University in Stoke-On-Trent in 2023 and then after deciding I needed a change of location for my mental health I decided for the rest of my university life I will transfer to Confetti University in Nottingham which I am currently still residing for my third year. Furthermore, a little more about me as a artist I am a currently a generalist finding inspiration from games such as Little Nightmares and Skylanders I really love story based games that really rely on Visuals to tell a story like an abandoned temple or a old house that nature has reclaimed with signs of damage. Here is an example ...
