Doug’s professional background includes 17 years as an illustrator and designer in the electronic games industry and 6 more years as a texture artist and 3D modeler for home computer games. He has contributed to nearly 90 games in his career for companies including Electronic Arts, Midway, Eidos, Infogrammes and LEGO.

Modeling and texturing the majority of characters for EA’s The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers along with texturing 100% of the environments for EA’s NASCAR 2000 were experiences that honed his expertise in the creation of both character and environment assets. But his passion has always been sparked by the challenge of creating imaginary worlds and the heroic exploits to be found therein.

His career spans from the days when a single artist could put his stylistic stamp on an entire project to the modern era where dozens of artists working together create unique yet fully integrated game worlds. Now that the technology of gaming and all visual entertainment has reached the HD level he is excited by the virtually limitless possibilities that await young artists whose passion and imagination will shape the future.
