Whilst working at Blitz Games I was requested to create the characters for the Microsoft XBOX launch title Fuzion Frenzy. The game was set in the future and based around a massive game show where the contestants had to compete in multiple challenges in order to become the Fuzion Frenzy Champion. The outline was to create some larger than life characters to be the contestants, they had to be street wise, urban and also be a star in there own right.

Dub is a notorious underground cyber DJ from Tokyo. He is the founding member of the elite pirate radio station
Tanked! Constantly on the run he has devised a way of keeping one step ahead of the law by creating the worlds first portable radio station in the form of a fusion powered transmitter he wears as a backpack. |
 |
Fly is the founding member of the Def Valley Dance Masters and a leading authority in self defense. His journey
of physical control and improvement has brought him to the Fuzion Frenzy Championships. He considers this to be
one of the greatest challenges he has ever faced and wants desperately to rein supreme as the Fuzion King. |

This girl is more trouble than she's worth (and she's worth Millions!). The only child to one of Japan's wealthiest business men, Jade spends her life partying it up with the world's rich and famous. But the girl that has everything is missing
out on the one thing she desires the most...the Solid Platinum and Gold Fuzion Frenzy Trophy. |

| Jet lives a fast and dangerous lifestyle as an extreme, New York City courier. She takes on only the most expensive jobs and if that means risking her life, then so much the better. She will use any trick in the book to deliver a package on time and if the streets are to busy there's always the roof tops! |

Zak is one of the most popular kids you're ever likely to meet. Known to his friends as the Geek with the the Golden
Glove, he has an unconventional talent for electronics and programming. Nothing pleases Zak's best buds more than when he hacks into the most popular arcade machines and rigs them to give unlimited credits. Now you can see why he is so popular. |

| This initial sketch of the character Zak landed me the Job of Lead character artist on Fuzion Frenzy. Although many ideas had been put forward by other concept artists at Blitz Games it was Microsoft who wanted me to create the definitive look and style for there launch title. |

Early concepts for Fly and another character called the Doctor. The Doctor was supposed to be a mobile tattoo and body piercing pro. These characters where taken to an extreme so I could gauge what microsoft wanted for the feel and attitude.
