Busy busy busy!

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 26, 2011, 5:08 PM
Hey guys! Just wanted to say hey, been super busy lately, but hopefully I'll have some awesome work to show for it soon.

Just got a quick job doing some promo/testing art for a big game franchise. The new game will be announced at E3, but I can't say much more than that right now. Also got my Mass Effect painting to finish, an epic space battle commission for an arcade machine, and potential work on an upcoming movie that some of you would know of, in addition to all the personal work I have planned.

Also, I only mentioned it on FB, but I lost out on a job working for 343 Industries on a new Halo game. I got head hunted, but it all fell through. It was a disappointment, but hey, makes room for other great things.

What have you all be up to, any good news to share?

As always, take care!

If I was you I wouldn't fret too much over the 343 position. The way things are headed game studios are going to have to step it up to keep pace with the slick new games and their equally slick engines (namely Frostbite 2.0) and while that means more competition it will also mean said studios are probably going to be broadening their scope in looking for good artists. And, of course, you needn't worry about that either. ;)

Haha, yeah, true. Thanks a lot :) I've got other opportunities, so while it was a total dream job, other sweet stuff will come up in the future. Who knows, maybe I'll land something amazing later this year that I couldn't have done if I worked for 343.

I got a good job and am studying Historical European Martial Arts!

That sucks about 343, I would have hassled you for shwag constantly on XBL tho, so maybe it was a good thing :D

Perhaps :D I practice longsword of 14th 15th and 16th centuries. I look at old ass manuals written by people hundreds of years ago and try and understand/interpret them. Really fun stuff.

i'm not sure whether i should be happy or not about that new Halo game by 343 Industries. What do you think about it? A Halo Game...but NOT by Bungie? Difficult to imagine for me....

Mass Effect Artwork? Looking forward to it...!!!

It isn't done by Bungie, but it is done by ex Bungie employees. You remember Halo 2, the best Halo game ever (imo), a lot of the people from the Halo 2 team went to 343 (which is why the latest Reach maps feel so good, cause they were made by 343, and there for, feel smooth like Halo 2 maps).

Don't worry dude. They got it covered.

Indeed we shall :D But don't worry, Bungie is starting a new franchise as well. So they should have a new game by the end of next year for all consoles.
