Ben Nicholas ⚪️ Looking for work!

Liminal latrine

I appreciate that a ton! Cheers! 🙂

Thanks Floris 💙

For folks curious, a chunk of my concepting was for Field Maintenance in Dire Marsh and designing the big harvester vehicles. What @ninehydras.dev and the world art/palette team did is so so rad

Some shots of vehicles I designed for Marathon. One ended up in the animated short and the others are in game. Once again, huge thanks to the world art and palette team for taking my work and pushing it 💙

More shots of Maintenance in Marathon. Spent a good chunk of time concepting architecture and props for this area. And once again, it wouldn’t be real or look so good without the amazing palette and world art team 💙

Before the picture, it was sealed in a baggie and packed up. No need to panic. Lol.

Thanks Peter!!

Well I wasn’t planning on feeding it to anyone. I appreciate the advice but this is very wild

My bunker design made it in game! Just crazy humbling to see this stuff out in the wild. So grateful to all the other artists who made it possible

Dude! It’s still so rad

I just finished playing some mass effect so this is extra funny

Patrick Bloom Staff Concept artist at Bungie

He doesn’t have a lot of social media but here’s his artstation! www.artstation.com/patrickbloom

Whoever and wherever you are mystery person, thank you!

I went through my old Bungie stuff and found the Cream of the Crop creamer that I got after a joined

One of my all time favs!!

Patrick’s work is the cornerstone of the art direction in so many ways. He did weapons, characters, environments, etc. he taught me so much and became a great friend.

I remember when I joined the Marathon team, Patrick Bloom (a brilliant concept artist) showed me references to help onboard me to the style. There were a bunch of shots of Big Shell from MGS2 and my immediate feeling was…I’m home. Hahaha
