About

I’m Henry Lockett, a Technical Artist / VFX Artist with commercial experience in games. I love technical art and learning new techniques to create interesting effects, but I appreciate the importance of not putting the tech ahead of the art.

I graduated from The University of Birmingham with an Electronic Engineering degree (B.Eng Interactive Systems), and I am a Master of Arts with Distinction in Game Art from Escape Studios in London. I’m currently a Technical Artist at Ocean Infinity. My previous role was as a VFX Artist at nDreams in Farnborough.
