Saboteur Art

I wanted to post some of The Saboteur art that I'm allowed to show until the game releases on Dec. 4rth in Europe. I can't wait to show all the art that I've been working on for the past 4 1/2 years.













My first Game Cover!

Bumper cars

I did this painting as a possible marketing poster. I wanted depict the type of intense car action thats possible during chases using Sean's race car, the Aurora

3rd Saboteur Trailer

RoboCar

I wanted to give Robo a cool custom car. I modeled it after the Carbon Motors cop car and various other sports cars to give it a muscle super car look. I was going for a sort of next gen version of the Carbon motors cop car. I especially liked how they integrated the police lights into the body so I thought it'd be cool to place a long red light through the body of the car that acts as a long siren light.

I also wanted to try some different color combinations and rear designs.

My Wedding Day

Kam and got married on Sun Sept. 13th. It was a long road of planning and work (on Kams part) but the whole day went perfectly and Kam looked unbelievably beautiful.

Kam had designed the theme and color scheme, and even ended up designing our invitations and cake (character drawings were done by Mindy http://mindydoodles.blogspot.com/). Both of which turned out great and the reception hall exceeded both of our expectations. My brother Ron wrote and performed an original song written for us which I'll post after its been recorded. It was the best day of my life, and thanks to everyone who helped to make it happen and supported us.

Theres more photos on my facebook so check it out :)

Dollar Campaign

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to announce that my fiancé Kam and I are releasing a Dollar Campaign to raise money towards the cure of the disease HIBM. As some as you may already know my fiancé Kam is afflicted with HIBM, which is a progressive muscle wasting disease which can lead to total disability within 10-15 years. We both work very hard for the non-profit organization ARM (http://www.hibm.org/arm/index.php) which is dedicated to curing this debilitating disease.

With ARM we have created this dollar campaign with the hopes of raising 1 million dollars to enable human therapeutic trials to fight HIBM. We are asking for two things: First, go to WEBSITE (http://www.hibm.org/arm/dollar:home) to donate $1. Second, send this email on to all your friends and family.

In the Internet age, reaching one million people in that amount of time is surely do-able. If you are interested in becoming a bigger influence in this campaign, host your own dollar collecting campaign in your community, church, workplace, among your friends and family and donate what you've collected as one donation. Or you can post this story and image on your own blog and Facebook page. The more people we can reach increases the awareness of HIBM.

HIBM (Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy) is a progressive and debilitating muscle-wasting disorder caused by a gene defect. It touches those between the ages of 20 and 40 and, although progression is slow, it typically leads to total disability within 10-15 years. Studies suggest that HIBM may be easier to cure than many other disorders or diseases, the only limiting factor is funds.

Thank you for your support,

Jason Hazelroth

ED-209

I did some Robocop redesigns awhile back and I've been meaning to continue with the rest of the robocop universe including ED-209.

I loved the old ED but I always thought it was funny how he'd get tripped up on stairs. I wanted my ED-209 to be animal like and agile. I gave him almost cat like hind legs so that he looks like he could jump lighting fast and pounce on you. Also, his legs would allow him to take long strides making him fast, and and able to traverse all types of landscape. My Robocop is acrobatic so I wanted him to be able to keep up with Murphy

The ideas are still in the sketchy phase but I think this is a good start. If you guys have any suggestions I'd love to hear them :)

Comic Con 2009

Kam and I went to Comic Con this year cause both Saboteur and her Mindflex (that she designed from the ground up) had displays. Turns out that Mattel had gone all out for Mindflex. It had its own huge booth which was nonstop packed with people waiting to try it out. If your unfamiliar with Mindflex, the game can read your level of concentration through brainwaves which translates into a floating ball, which you navigate through an obstacle course. You can check it out here at http://mindflexgames.com/
Needless to say it was a BIG hit!
Sabotuer was there too with a playable version for the public to try out. I guess it was well recieved and we had booth babes!

Ideation Sketching

I wanted to post some ideations sketches. Sci Fi is my favorite subject so it was definitely fun to sketch bots.

I think the blue guy would make a great redesign for TRON. When I have some time I want to work on it some more towards a more finished design

Saboteur

Sean clambering inside a Nazi occupied Parthenon

Guitar Hero

I'm a Guitar Hero fan and I thought it'd be a fun exercise to try doing some character designs in their style. I don't usually do characters so it was definitely fun to try something different.

He's modeled after a death metal rocker.
Let me know what you guys think

Guitar Hero orthos

Saboteur Art

This is the full image for the cover art. This was my recommended crop but the crop they used is good too.
Its trying to show the level of grittiness of the game as well as making it an action moment, and showing off the low Will to Fight. Low Will to Fight is our B&W lighting that represents the oppression of the Nazi's. Later when you liberate an area, color is returned to that area of Paris.

Saboteur Art

This was the original piece that the cover was based off of. I did this nearly 3 years ago at the start of the game, but its proved to be a good piece to describe the tone of the game.

Sabotuer Art

I did this one way back at the begining of the game to illustrate the tone of the occupation.

Resistance

Resistance fan art!

Resistance Speeder

I like Darren Quach's work alot so I was trying to render like he does

Speeder orthos

as A fan of Resistance I wanted to design some vehicles I'd like to see in the game. I kinda wanted something along the lines of Halo's "Ghost" speeder

Christmas Express

Subzero's Ice Castle

Subzero's ice castle

Snowmobile

I did this back when I was at Polaris Industries (snowmobile company) for fun. It got alot of attention so I must have done something right

I'm Engaged!

So it happened. I got engaged to my best friend Kam! In Osaka japan (I'm so classy)

Shes my best friend and I feel so lucky :)

Ring Design

My Kam is an industrial designer so I wanted to do something special for her engagement ring. I thought she would appreciate it if I designed it myself, but it was tough though cause she knows more about design than I do. I put alot of thought into and she ended up loving it so I guess I did good :)

Box Design

I wanted to make a cool box to fit with the ring I made. I had no idea how to make a box so asked my friend Bryan Norton who used to work in a model shop for movies. It was fun but it was really hard. Plus it was hard to try to hide what I was doing from my girlfriend. She really liked it though so it was definitely worth it.

Bryan is looking for work right now as a concept artist. We worked together at Pandemic and he is a great guy and an awesome artist. Check out his website at http://norton.carbonmade.com/ and his blog at http://n0rt0n.blogspot.com/

Robocop helmet design

I wanted to show how Robocops helmet comes apart in stages. He requires special tools to disassemble his helmet making him heavily reliant on OCP for maintanace and repair.
Hope you like.

Roborender

This is me trying to do a Phil Saunder render ;)

Action

thumbs

Some slight leg and body variations

image board

Some of the other designs I used as influence for robocop. wanted to incorporate a more modern language for robocops near futurism design. I wanted robocop to feel more fluid and organic like he could be a runner or a martial artist, so I incorporated some nano tech with steel so he looked flexible and protected. I'm also playing with the idea of giving him a techy sword of some sort ;)

more to come soon

Robocop rear view

Robocop redesign

I'm a big fan of robocop and I've wanted to redesign him for awhile now. trying to make him a bit more agile and athletic.

Panda Zord

Panda Zord

I did some panda zords for my friend James. He wanted them sorta Gundam like.

Jedi Star Fighters

I did these in school but I still like them. I loved the Jedi starfighters from the Starwars movies but I wanted to explore more with combining the Ep.2 and Ep. 3 versions. Definitely a fun exercise.

Hubless Sportsbike

my attempt at a hubless sports bike :)
