Since my last post of Dreadnought II plans I have completed the design of the ships lower decks; I still need to work-up the control tower spaces but hope to get thoses spaces finished in the next few days. I still need to design the corresponding zero-gee interior spaces of the UJW Jupiter – the loading […]
Read more "DREADNOUGHT – BELOW DECKS"In addition to the end sequence I prepared for the project-themes submission earlier this month, I have put together a first cut of the title sequence. This will replace the bulk of the scenes on the surface of the ice sheet – with the exception of a single ‘transition’ shot before the narrative moves into […]

I’ve been working on matte paintings, and planned to simply print and submit hard copies – although I am still printing one painting – but thought it would be a good idea to set-up a short test. […]
Read more "THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME"As with the previous post, I’ve developed these images for the organisation responsible for operating the Dreadnought hospital ships.
Read more "THE PIONEER CORP"These are a few weeks old now, but I’ve been thinking about logos, badge etc for the various organisations that appear in The Human Spectrum. These are rough-ideas for suit badges to be used on the Jovian quad-suits.
Read more "THE UNION OF JOVIAN WORKERS"My first animatic for the full animation/film has been uploaded to my vimeo account. It follows a linear narrative, but will be updated at a later date to include a series of ‘flash-back’ sections that show Dreadnought as an operational ship.

His knowledge has been invaluable> ComOfficer Yu-91 (Europa Collective), ‘The Jupiter’ flight-logs Ghan nearly jumped out of his chair. Doors at either end of the chamber slammed back and shook the entire ship; at the back of the next compartment he could see a row of tanks […]

Crawling through a void in the middle, he found himself in a long compartment […]
