I work as a character artist on the Runescape Graphics Team. Some of my day to day jobs include taking concept artwork and translating them into things you'll see in the game. Some of the things I've worked on are the Queen Black Dragon, Saradomin and various MTX items. One of my favourite parts of the job would be the sheer variety and unpredictability of the work I do. I never know what awesome character concepts are going to land on my desk next!

I Joined nearly six years ago for a brief period in Player support where I got a temporary position as a texture artist for RuneScape HD. I then became a full time 3D artist. The fairy update, fairy 3, living rock caverns and ‘Hunt for Red Raktuber’ are a few older pieces of content which I particularly enjoyed working on. From there I became a character artist, specialising in all things npcs big and small, as well as player armour, weapons and inventory objects. I’ve had the opportunity to model such creations as the king black dragon update, the Behemoth’s for Dungeoneering and countless player kit parts. I am currently the Lead character artist here for RuneScape.

I've been at Jagex working on RuneScape for nearly 8 years now and for 6 of those years I've been RS Lead Animator. I have a great team who are all extremely talented and passionate about what they do and constantly improve the quality of animation across the game.

I've seen a lot of changes in RuneScape over that time; working on such projects such as Brain Robbery, Perils of Ice Mountain, the Myreque series, through RS HD all the way up to the more recent EoC and currently on RS3!

My team and I focus on creating the most interesting and engaging animation we can, designing and producing it together to be the best it can be across RuneScape and pushing what we can achieve technically and artistically whilst still trying to have fun in the process :0)

I very much enjoy working at Jagex and on RuneScape as a product. Working in animation in the games industry was always something I dreamed of doing as a kid, but like I've heard from so many others 'I never thought I'd be able to make a career out of games!' I'm very glad I did :0)
