SKILLSET

About-Richard-Allport.png

Despite my Parents’ choices of haircut for me, I have always enjoyed designing from an early age!

All in all there isn’t much that I haven’t designed and or created in any number of visual styles, tech, fantasy, dystopian, cartoony or just plain weird!...and like so many of us I have adjusted to working remotely for companies both in the UK and globally and have done so now successfully on several projects, both contracted and full time. I can work from my home studio with regular online production meetings and can work as part of a team or I can run/ oversee a team

My skillsets and Project History are listed below:

​

I have worked for over three decades in Commercial Art industries developing a mutli-disciplinary skillset providing solutions ranging from traditional art techniques, 3D sculptural designs, digital concepting and image manipulation and have worked alongside projects using Computer Animation, VR development, Animatronics, Puppetry, Motion Capture and Photogrammetry.
