About OMNOM! workshop
OMNOM! workshop is a boutique freelance character art and digital asset studio founded by game industry veterans Brian Jones, known online as BoBo_the_seal, and Mike Tarwater. Established in 2013 following the closure of Vigil Games, the studio developed around the founders’ experience in game character production and their connections within Austin’s development community.
Its work centers on 3D characters and game-ready assets, spanning digital sculpting, high-to-low polygon modeling, retopology, UV preparation, and texturing. Projects range from stylized characters and alternate character skins to equipment, weapons, and props. The studio provides external art production for both AAA and independent developers, adapting its contributions to individual game pipelines.
Selected production work
For League of Legends, OMNOM! workshop produced character models and base textures for champion skins, including work associated with Heimerdinger, Sivir, Garen, and Master Yi. Its contributions to Darksiders III included sculpting and texturing work for Strife, Grock, and Trauma.
Other documented projects include character modeling and sculpting for Spyro Reignited Trilogy, weapon and prop assets for Remnant: From the Ashes, and Gunner head customization variants for Borderlands 3. The studio also contributed character and tank modeling to Battle Chasers: Nightwar, boss sculpts to Dungeon Hunter V, and character modeling to Angry Birds Legends.
The founders’ earlier experience includes titles such as Darksiders, Darksiders II, Titan Quest, and Age of Empires III. Those projects form part of their professional background rather than the studio’s own production credits.
