I have recently been affected by redundancy and I am on the lookout for my next exciting adventure from the beginning of July.
I have 20 years experience within film, animation and games where I can provide story art, thoughtful visual development and cinematic paintings.
You can find my new site at marktompkinsart dot weebly dot com and keep an eye out for future updates coming soon!
Please reshare if possible. Thanks, Mark

I am fortunate to have worked on one project, indirectly, with David Attenborough and at the time we thought this might had been his last project.
However, he is a force of nature, still to this day inspiring and educating people young and old.
I have fond memories watching his shows on bbc when I was younger and still enjoy watching and listening to him today.
Happy 100 years @davidattenborough .
Shown here is a little behind the scenes moment from the Deccan traps environment of the Badlands episode in Prehistoric Planet.
I like to paint on large canvases and when zoomed in, I paint extremely loose and suggestive.

DRINK and DRAW London - lovely to meet old and new faces, geek out on pens and finish on a rapid round of 30 second faces! #drinkanddraw #draw #sketchbook #london #animation
True-to-life-sketch daily occurrence from our youngest.
Little wind down in blender. I think I’ve got my workflow pretty solid now in blender if anyone is still interested in how I storyboard using blender, give me a thumbs up!

A selection of colour keys I did for William Joyce’s short animation, Mr. Spam Gets A New Hat released in 2022.
In other news I am looking for new work from the beginning of July in either story or vis dev or both! Any shares would be deeply appreciated.

Back in mid 2023 I was tasked to have a very quick pass at Rocky. I don’t think this was used in anyway for a final design but it was fun having a go and now seeing the final Rocky I don’t think I was too far off.
I did some quick poses in VR, gravity sketch, before doing a couple of sketches.

Back in 2023 I was commissioned to create a serious of very short animations for a campaign for CAFOD and this is a sample of them. Fun work for a very short turnaround. Made in @blender
