Andy Walsh – Designer

I'm a freelance illustrator and concept artist with around six years experience in the entertainment industry but also working with more illustration-based clients. Clients include Microsoft, Sony, Riot and more. I've appeared in various digital art publications including ImagineFX and a few tutorial books by 3DTtotal publishing.
I'm best known for creating a strong sense of mood and atmosphere in my work.

I will first need to get a scope for the scale and budget of the project to decide which approach to take. I can work loose and painterly for quicker work, or get serious with 3d and the incorporation of photos with digital paint for projects with longer time-frames. At times, the 3d route can afford multiple shots of the same scene without much additional time and cost. It's great if the client can point to a piece of work in my portfolio as a guide to what they're looking for and then we can shoot for that style and ensure we're on the same page!

As a general rule, my work is quite focused on environments. I can employ various techniques to incorporate characters but prefer not to work on pieces that are character-centric unless said characters are fairly generic.
