Hey guys, welcome to my DA page.

Here I plan to bring you all my latest flash project's and game design for the future as well as upload all my artwork and photography.
My main aspiration in life is to make it big as an animator and game designer, I hopefully wanna move to the big city and set up my own little art studio so I can make my dream happen.
Thanks so much for supporting, and hopefully you'll enjoy my work too when it's ready.
- Ashton

I am greatful for everyone who views and enjoys my work, sorry if I can't respond to every single comment and message I get but I hope you understand, very often I'm really busy and I can only respond to a handful of messages at a time.

If you wanna use my Photography as stock or colour in any of my art, don't hesitate to ask. But please wait for my permission first otherwise I'm going to treat your devitation as art theft and instantly report it.

P.S. I'm well aware my Gallery is kinda a mess right now, once I've uploaded all my work I'm going to reconstruct the entire gallery from scratch, removing the junk, moving lesser work into scraps, etc and just genuinely tidying it up. Just try to bear with me until I do, I still have a lot to upload.





::American Mcgee's Alice::




Alice Madness Returns arrived in the post for me today, really made my day as I'm having to work for the rest of the week and wouldn't of had any decent time to play it otherwise. I'm playing through the original, America Mcgee's Alice first though (it comes bundled with it) and I gotta say, pretty much all the reviews for the sequel carry down to the original as well. Like everyone else, I've been really attracted to the game from day one because of it's dark twisted rendition of Wonderland and yes, pretty much everything you thought the game would turn out to be is true. It's dark, twisted atmosphere really does capture the true feeling of the original Alice in Wonderland and reminds us that Wonderland is really whatever you make of it. The traumatization and emotional burdens of Alice effect her Wonderland and in turn, shape the world into a nightmarish realm of torture where she quite literally has to fight her own demons. While for the most part its a pretty tame platformer, some of the areas in the game can be quite disturbing, like the Dutchess of Hearts who chases Alice around her home with a Pepper Grinder, hoping to devour her as a "light snack" or the school of lobotomized school children, which I found especially disturbing...
Seeing old scientific brain diagrams on the wall or kids wandering around the halls and libraries aimlessly with literally half their brains or just the plain fact the building was deteriorating into an endless black abyss of books, really creative and spooky.
My only downsides with the game is that apart from its imaginative art style, the game really isn't all that fun to play. The combat is fustrating, the weapons given for the most part feel useless (I'm literally just using the croquet bat except for situations where its ineffective), and the platforming really isn't all that great. Given this game was made way back in the year 2000 It still holds up well and I can forgive its many shortcomings, but half the time it feels like it was designed as a FPS game and halfway through production made into a 3rd person platformer.
So yeah I can't comment on the 2011 sequel just yet as I'm only halfway into the first, but if you ever happen to come across any of its reviews, pretty much everything spoken about it is about accurate and can just as easily be said for the original. Its an experience you won't be forgetting anytime soon, I can say that for sure.

Well the first game was made using the Quake 3 engine, which is about as fast and twitchy as shooters get.
