Description This planet is designated NMG-977 b and is of particular interest to scientists due to it's unusual biosphere and habitable surface. No significant body of water can be found on the surface, only a few small ponds and creeks in isolated areas, but dry riverbeds and basins suggest this was not always the case. The planet's hydrosphere is supported instead by giant swaths of jungle-like areas hosting a variety of plant analogues. The planet may have been more habitable at one time but at some point experienced a significant loss of surface water from some unknown event in its distant past. The larger areas of jungle and forest seem to have survived by unintentionally supporting each other through transpiration. Water vapor released from the leaves of the plants rise into the atmosphere to form clouds that carry the water vapor to other areas and eventually come down as rain. Smaller pockets of plant life have developed niches around runoff from this rain, though it seems nearly all the life on the planet is congregated in areas where atmospheric conditions produce regular, monsoon-like rainfall from the released water vapor. Interestingly there appears to be no animal life as we know it anywhere on the planet. Presumably the animal life either never had time to adapt to land before the surface water was lost or otherwise died out soon after. This has opened up unlikely evolutionary possibilities such as species of mobile, nomadic plants that migrate between water sources in the arid outskirts of the jungles and the predatory parasitic mobile plants that hunt them. The planet has been designated as an areas of scientific interest and has been removed from potential colony status, though there are plans to create a few manned research outposts in the uninhabited regions of the planet and in orbit. The possibility of using the native plant life of NMG-977 to increase the habitability of arid colony worlds and the use of some of the mobile plants as livestock are at the forefront of the intended research goals but there is also interest in examining an animal-less biosphere and the cause of the sudden loss of surface water.

I worked as a Level Artist alongside John Troive to help create the Tatooine maps for Star Wars: Battlefront. I was involved in prop dressing, level design, composition, asset creation (natural), textures, shaders, optimisation, architectural workflows and blockouts.

Some of the many planets I had a hand in creating in Terragen. When the planet was seen from space in the film I followed the approved concept/final art, and when it was not I had to design how it would look based on the locations.

This February features a rare alignment of Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars, creating a remarkable planetary display. The event is often referred to as a “parade of planets,” allowing viewers to witness the planets dancing across the night sky. Saturn will set first, followed by the bright visibility of Jupiter and Venus, with Mars joining the view as well. Gatherings at locations like Hanna Park provide opportunities for enthusiasts to connect and share knowledge about the cosmos. This celestial occurrence offers a unique chance to appreciate the beauty of our solar system and reflect on our position in the universe.

My work on Battlefront has always been as a Level Artist and I've taken part of all planets, apart from Endor. In early production, our job was to populate the database with assets, which we photoscanned. This was a long and time consuming process which we were really trying to make as fast as possible. Once we had a base of assets, we started working on terrain and locations. Quite late into the project, my Art Director asked me and another Level Artist if we wanted to do a DLC of our own; The Battle of Jakku. Considering it was tied to the then unreleased EP 7, we could not say no to such an offer. We split the work between ourselves and I ended up making the smaller level for the more close combat game modes. After this was done, I was placed on the DLC team which then went on to make 4 other expansion packs, where I owned a level of my own per DLC. Update: Now added pieces of the Scarif DLC to the portfolio
