Video Game: Cosmic Colony

Here’s a look at another fun video game I worked on as a concept artist at Gameloft.

This project involved a lot of back and forth during the design phase—refining shapes, testing ideas, and adjusting the visuals until everything felt right.

The image here shows how the final concept turned out, and it’s always satisfying to see those early sketches evolve into something polished and playable.

The final renders featured in the in-game screenshots were done by Andre Mealha Brown—great work bringing the designs to life in-game.

More to come.

Wonder Zoo – Gameloft Project

Wonder Zoo is another title I contributed to during my time as a concept artist at Gameloft.

For this project, my role was less about early concept development and more focused on post-production work. That included retouching load screens, refining in-game illustrations, and working on various graphic elements used throughout the interface.

While I don’t have many concepts to share from this one, it was still a rewarding experience, especially in terms of supporting the visual polish and consistency of the final product.

A different kind of contribution, but still an important part of the process.

Quick Tutorial – Installing Painter’s Wheel in Photoshop

Quick Tutorial - Installing Painters' Wheel.

I’ve been asked many times about the color wheel visible on my Photoshop screen. It’s not built-in—it’s actually a Photoshop extension called Painter’s Wheel, and it’s one of the most useful plugins I use on a daily basis.

This free plugin adds a dedicated color wheel panel to your workspace, replicating the Corel Painter color system with a more intuitive interface than Photoshop’s default color picker. It features a ring for Hue, and a triangle for Saturation and Value, making color selection fast and visually clear.

One feature I find particularly useful: by clicking the small triangle at the bottom right of the panel, you can generate a gradient between two colors (A and B), which helps a lot when working with subtle transitions or palettes.

To install the Painter’s Wheel, just visit http://lenwhite.com and follow the steps provided. It’s simple, lightweight, and compatible with the Photoshop CS6 interface.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their color workflow in Photoshop. Give it a try.

Enjoy.

Video Game: Run Sheldon

This is the last video game project I worked on, where I was in charge of Art Direction. I’m happy to finally share it with you, and I hope you’ll enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed building it.

You can download it for free here:

👉 Run Sheldon! on the App Store

In Run Sheldon!, you play as Sheldon, the legendary tortoise who once beat the Hare in the famous race. But the Hare gang hasn’t taken the loss very well. They’re after your golden trophy, and they’ll stop at nothing to get it.

Your mission? Run for your life.

Tap to jump, hold to jump higher, and use well-timed landings to crush enemies and build up your protective shell. Along the way, pick up power-ups like Super Wings, Mega Boost, and Glide Power, collect coins, unlock upgrades, and try to outdistance your friends on the leaderboard.

The further you go, the tougher it gets. But the rewards—and the fun—are worth it.

It was a pleasure working on the visual direction for this title, and I’m proud of how it turned out. Have fun, and don’t forget—Run, Sheldon!
