Happy Halloween

I've decided - for one reason and another - to return to painting in Photoshop.

Hello darkness my old friend.

BLAST from the Past #002.5

As a multiplayer game, Avalon was a blast,

finding a single player format was always tricky,

here's the animatic to sell the single player mode.

I only drew the frames,

the edit was done by Dan Porter and sound by Steve Rocket,

they live over here now: The Trailerfarm

Speaking of the frames, here's a few,

I coloured about 60 of these in a week.

 Back in 2005 I think...

BLAST from the Past #002

After the Metallica game I joined the Moto GP team

to concept and build a few characters for their prototype project: Avalon.

It became a high point and the very lowpoint of my game career.

I was tasked with coming up with four distinct body types to reflect

the weapon classes: gunner, grenadier, sniper, rocketeer.

This was my initial concept. I am going to say no more, except:

WE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED HERE ;)

Circa 2004:

Of course game dev is not so simple. 

Below are the iterations and then the direction changes

which occured after a short break in the prototyping. 

Sadly the game wasn't picked up.

I was under increasing pressure to become a painter,

which lead me to where I am now I guess.

It also taught me to be as

hard as nails when it comes to feedback.

Next time, the Avalon Animatic.

INTERMISSION

Thanks all for the overwhelming response

to my last post, I think I went viral for a few hours back there...

Still busy, so more to come from the store room I'm afraid.
