Summary
I am a Concept Artist and Illustrator based in Worthing, England currently seeking fulltime or contract/freelance work.
I have been a full time concept artist for 16 years, working mainly in the games industry. I have previously worked for Douglas Adam's TDV Studio and Lost Toys as a concept and later lead artist. For the last 13 years I worked at Lionhead Studios, initially on Black and White 2 and The Movies: Stunts and Effects, before moving onto the Fable team where I provided much of the concept work for Fables 2 and 3, as well as main character work for Fable: The Journey.
Until the closure of Liohead in April this year, I was the lead concept artist for the studio, working mainly on Fable Legends. Heading up a team of 5 concept artists, I was responsible for overseeing all aspects of the concept work at Lionhead, providing ideas, guidance and feedback on style and content to both my in-house team and 2 outsource teams, as well as producing many of the character and creature concepts for the game. I worked closely with the Art Director to ensure that the look and feel of all the artwork had a high level of quality and consistency. I provided ideas and artwork for our promotional needs for both internal and public events, and also worked with the incubation teams here providing artwork, support and feedback.
I also produce freelance illustration work, and am working on a couple of upcoming graphic novel projects with my best friend, the author and poet Tony Mayle.
I am now looking for fresh challenges in the Games, Film, TV and Publishing worlds, and if you would like to contact me regarding work opportunities, or would like to see my full CV, click on the "Hire Me" button to send a message or contact me at widigan.trippe@hotmail.com.
