Brandon Crampton Announcement A quick announcement pertinent to Brandon Crampton, 2D and 3D artist that has been part of the Higher Eclectic Network since February, 2016. I've had the privilege of working as his representative and manager ever since, and together, we've contributed to various independent game projects namely -- The Potshotpete Channel. Crampton developed avatar art for Jack Davison’s YouTube/Twitch gaming channel in 2016. The Evanzo Channel. Crampton developed avatar art for Craig Evans’ YouTube gaming channel in 2016. Melee Masters. A 3D-playable character was modelled, textured and rigged for Two Piece Games LLC’s platformed fighting game. State of Wonder. Crampton continues to develop various art assets for Better Built Studios’ upcoming tabletop/digital card game. After a good partnership, it has been mutually decided for us to split ways. As such then, Crampton will bear no affiliation to Higher Eclectic Ground, his listing won't be found on this website or any of our forums, nor will I be co-ordinating/mediating any collaborations that developers might choose to set up with him. I highly recommend fans of his work to follow his creations on his Instagram profile, which would also be the ideal way to get in touch with him for any commissions. The very best to him!
