Comic Con 2009

Kam and I went to Comic Con this year cause both Saboteur and her Mindflex (that Kam designed from the ground up) had displays. Turns out that Mattel had gone all out for Mindflex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teLilQfF5qY&feature=related. 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/

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

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

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.

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.

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

Robocop rear view

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 ;)

Panda Zord

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

Hubless Sportsbike

my attempt at a hubless sports bike :)
