About
Hi, I’m Dave — a former Merchant Mariner turned digital artist and game developer. After 15 years at sea, I traded the open ocean for open worlds. I’m now focused on 3D environment art, prop and set design, and animation — blending storytelling, craftsmanship, and a love of fantasy worlds.I create digital art, games, and animations that explore themes of blasphemy, tragedy, and beauty — the fragile balance between what’s broken and what’s sacred. My work spans Unreal Engine, Unity, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and 3D modeling, as well as traditional illustration and worldbuilding.
