An absolute legend

Former Rare artist Brett Jones, who worked on the classic N64 games GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark, has died.

Jones’ work on the classic first-person shooter was wide-ranging and included concept art and character creation, model rigging, animation, and texturing. He would go on to do much of the same work on Perfect Dark, including work on the protagonist herself and leading efforts on the game’s memorable motion-captured animation.

As noted by VGC, designer David Doak shared a screenshot of the game on Twitter along with the sad news, calling Jones an “absolute legend”:
