About us
Here we produce the very best in cutting-edge creative conceptualization, visualization and execution. Our client list includes big names: Warner Bros, Sony, Microsoft, SEGA, Activision, 2K, EPIC, The Pokémon Company and Blizzard are all here. And we love variety. Each project is different from the previous one. The spectrum spans the raw and hard-hitting Mortal Kombat, the irreverent and stylized Surgeon Simulator 2, comic book superheroes, nostalgic childhood favorites and everything in between. Whatever franchise is on today’s agenda – DC, Halo, Marvel, Mortal Kombat and Warhammer – we move through their worlds with ease and creative curiosity.
The work produced by our team is world class. We celebrated this fact in three art books. Each includes concept art, tutorials, and pro tips. Volume 3 was created to mark the studio’s 10th anniversary and was exhibited and sold at the Great North Museum: Hancock in Newcastle, where we curated the Other Worlds: The Art of Atomhawk exhibition in 2020.
