From 1999 to 2001, I worked extensively ( on spec ) on a video game project fruition. My contributions were
storyboarding, conceptual art and character design. The title was in the cyberpunk genre. I designed robots/androids, firearms, rooms, environments,
para-gliders, tools and vehicles. This work was then given to 3-d animators and implemented as animations.
I also storyboarded an animated trailer for the project and most of my framing was used in the final render.
From 2001, My only client has been myself. I took up DJ-ing and music production.
