About

A rather flattering illustration of Tom, split into four quarters. Each quater represents a different skill. Top left portion is a pencil sketch for illustration, top right is a cartoon with ghosted frames for animation, bottom left is pixel art and bottom right is an outline with various grid markings to represent design.

Hi! I'm Tom Waterhouse and I do a wide variety of 2D art. I specialise in illustration, animation, pixel art and all things digital.

I like to keep my style variable so I can work on many different projects and I love working with friendly indie teams. If you think I'm the right fit for your next project, please get in touch!

Based in Bristol UK, you'll likely find me drawing, nerding about the Neo Geo, or hanging out with the lovely Bristol games dev scene.

My skills...

  • Illustration / 2D Art
  • KeyArt (Game boxes, Steam capsules, banners, etc)
  • Character concept art
  • Pixel art and pixel animation

Why 2DForever?

I love 2D art, but specifically I love the art of 2D games. I never got on with 3D software as it felt like doing maths instead of creating (although admittedly it's loads better now).

Also, sometimes you setup a website in 2003 and the name just sticks...
