First born of HIS Lieutenants...

It's no secret that Legacy of Kain is on of my favorite game franchises. I have done two previous fan pieces for these games

Graveyard

Kain

So this time I decided to do Raziel, when he is still a vampire as seen in this (still) bad ass intro

I'm not entirely crazy about it, but it was a fun night's work.

I based the sculpt off of this concept.

The Districts of Dustrum

New stuff! I've been chipping away at this for the past two weeks or so. An artist I REALLY admire Nick Carver did this concept of cool cut away (I am a sucker for isometric cutaways!) and I felt compelled to model it out. I was planing to texture it but what can I say... I'm lazy. :)

Anyway check out Nicks blog, it's full of amazing stuff! This is the concept

Concept by Nick Carver

Here is my interpretation of it. I changed up some proportions and shapes based on spatial relationships and inconsistencies in the concept (basically the distance between buildings).

And some detail shots.

Get BRUTAL!

A quick note! Brutal Legend is now available on Steam! For a steal too, if you pre-order it you can get it for 14.99 plus the Multiplayer Beta! This is one of the games I am most proud to work on, so give it a go!

And if you're curious here is a link to the assets I contributed to the game!

Mega

Wow! Five months without a post! There are a lot of reasons, buying a new house, work, my computer dying! But now I'm equiped with a bad ass machine and my first 2013 resolution is going back to the basics... of zbrush. I'm currently working my way through a hard surface modeling dvd. One of the exercises in it is using Dynamesh in Zbrush as a concepting tool. I probably took this further than is needed but I was having fun. I didn't have any idea what this would be when I started and somewhere along the way he started to look like Mega Man. I'm cool with that.

The Tower Arcana

Just a quick note, I started a new blog to exclusively track progress on my personal project "The Tower Arcana". Check it out if so inclined.

I heard you like Exhibits

Wow, two posts in one day! It's been a very busy week for me art-wise! In addition to the kickstarter project I contributed to I also have two pieces of my art being shown and sold at local video game store Game Over Video Games. Game over rules. I've dug them since I found out about em' when I moved to Austin. They really are all about gamers and the gamer culture. Their stores not only sell EVERY SINGLE old game system and games, the also have tons of gaming related toys, shirts, and random stuff. Basically a gamers dream store.

I walked in one day and noticed some local art hung up behind the counter and asked about how to go about getting my art featured. I sent an email to the president of the stores and found out my timing couldn't be better! They were opening a new store that actually has a small gallery section! So here we are, today is the stores opening and I dropped off two pieces that I think look absolutely beautiful printed out on canvas!

I doubt anyone will buy them. I have them priced pretty expensively (it cost a lot to print them on giclee) but hell just having a new way to show my art is pretty fun, and if they don't sell I have my art to hang in my office at home. :)

I don't know if anyone who visits this blog lives in Austin Texas, but if you do please head down to the Game Over on South Lamar Blvd and take a look in person!
