Hello there. My name is Chris Coltburn and this is my portolfio.
Below you will find the pages of my portfolio divided into projects.

A 2 to 8 player race to become the most infamous teddy bear family on the East Coast of the Tedlands.
This is not a game pitch but I thought a quick flavour of the game-play would aid the artwork for the fullest picture of the project.
Tactical Teddies: FRAY has been play-tested by over a hundred players and it’s something I am very excited to release in the coming year.
Over the last couple of years I have had the pleasure of being a comic artist for a world building project for a client in America.
The world of Camera Head is an autobiographical window into the authors life in the military leading into a career in photography and as I write this he is celebrating the release of his first major publication, featuring a large portion of commissions I greatly enjoyed producing.
An Online/P&P hybrid single player role playing game I have been working on for the last six months.
Players can enjoy a free-roam narrative experience with all the adventurous trimmings such as combat, foraging, tracking, looting and seasonal events.
All coupled with bright and plentiful artwork along the way.
During my time working for a marketing agency over a time of both employment and freelance I had a fantastic time designing, illustrating and constructing infographics for an eclectic range of clients.
In the tabs that follow you’ll be able to browse an isolated segment of a small selection of infographics I had the pleasure of creating.
Illustrative focussed logos and icons have been a naturally occuring passion of mine for my entire career in either Graphic Design or Illustration.
Creating character mascots or illustrative series is great fun on it’s own but the logo variation that ties it to the subject matter is often the cherry on top.
When I created the Tactical Teddies: Patrols TTRPG one of the things I revelled in most was creating multiple sets of item icons to purchase, collect or discover throughout players adventures.

A service I provide regularly to a broadly ranged clientele. From individuals with an idea, to small businesses looking to create a mascot, all the way to large companies producing a merchandise series, I have enjoyed creating colourful characters for all kinds of projects.
Many of my clients create patches, pins, stickers and other merchandise with my artwork and they have been pleasantly surprised when I supply a version of their art that will translate well to PVC or metal alongside the full colour artwork.
It has been a point of pride for me to adapt my workflow to accommodate helpful results beyond just a piece of artwork at the end of a project.
54 uniquely illustrated faces make up the full set of Bridge sized playing cards for my Tactical Teddies playing card deck, this was a personal challenge I took on to produce the full art set within 2 months.
From illustrating the characters to designing the cards, box art and preparing it for print using InDesign, the whole project was a great experience to keep my design and print knowledge well honed.
They were even printed on weather-proof stock that can withstand rainfall, since a majority of my community are tactically inclined I wanted to produce something that would weather their activities.
These are in stock on my online store for anyone interested.
When my daughter came of age to begin potty training I became quickly unsatisfied with accumulating stars simply for a job well done.
Endeavouring instead to game-ify behavioural motivation as well as teaching passive lessons on handy life skills such as plotting routes, saving “money” and learning some basic mathematics.
Star Seekers was born and my daughter loves it.
