Did I Already Post This?


Hey Ellis, I thought about you tonight. We went to dinner at a local restaurant and a couple sitting at the table next to us overheard me talking about working in the video games field and attending Comic-Con. They were really big into going to the Con every year. Anyway it turned out that the guy's job was... Elevator Repairman!  And he was familiar with Sony because he used to come once in a while to service the SOE elevator.  He said that elevator repair was a great niche field to be in. What with all the tall buildings in the world, most people don't realize that the elevator was the HEART of any building. FUNNY!

Jason Brubaker Fonts

The 15 fonts Jason Brubaker offers for sale.
I decided it was worth it so no one gives me the pariah treatment for using Comic Sans.
Isn't Jason part of TAG North?
I should have got a discount.

Color Trickiness - Keeping it simple


 

Making some real easy edits to color following Jason Brubaker's tips in the tutorial link.
Just the kind of approach I should take. Gimmicky, simple, covers my disability with flashiness.

Early Infernals Video


So the game I've been working on since I got to Germany, Infernals, has been launched in Poland for some Tech testing.  There is a video on Youtube that reviews the game, so if you want to see some visuals of the early portions of the game you can see them here:  Infernals Video!  It really is the earliest part of the game, so we don't show the most impressive characters right off the bat... I look forward to the day when I can show them off as well.

There's still a lot of polish that we want to add to the game, but already it's looking pretty great, if I do say so myself.  I'm Art Directing the game, so I make lots of comments and generally keep the team on track, but it's the team who's really determined how the game feels and looks.  I did do the concept drawing for the Pangolin looking monster whos in the video, so there's that. 

I'm really impressed by the talent and commitment to quality that the team has, and they are a pretty fun bunch as well.  Let me know what you think!

WIP - Enworld- Kinda KungFu


Got the From Here To Eternity scene when I searched barroom fight.
