i think this was initially going to be for work but since it's mostly just a study in how much better Craig Mullins is than me rather than a concept with anything interesting about it, i suppose i'll post it here.

what did you do half life or summat

i've done concept work on a couple of titles you might recognize. hellgate (lol) i only drew modeling sheets for a few characters, didn't even concept them (but i'll still put it on the resume), designed a bunch of vehicles for the now totally dead auto assault. that's about it for my greatest hits so far. other work is either NDA or got canned.

i'm working on a little game you never heard of, from a new company you never heard of either, so don't bother. Borderlands does look cool though. i like mechanical/vehicle design.


Latina Pride posted:

Anything that looked good get canned?

well here's one of the designs i did for auto assault, probably my favorite


edit: it's for the human faction, which had some mildly retarded design constraints you had to work with, for instance had to have a front gun, a turret, and those blue glow bars all over the loving place. just fyi.

can you confirm a suspicioun that ive always had

is there a tendency for artists to get their concepts back from the head designer with notes like "BIGGER CANS" or "MORE MUSCLES"

or do the notes the artist works from say
"spunky female rebel. only thing she can handle better than a monkey wrench is a rifle! BIG CANS. SHOULD WEAR SOME SORT OF SPANDEX THING WITH A HUGE V CUT OUT OF THE MIDDLE SO YOU CAN SEE AT LEAST 2/3s OF EACH CAN"

art directors, like just about any boss, come in all different flavors. sometimes they give you exceedingly specific instructions or detailed feedback, sometimes not. sometimes it's just "make it look just like X or Y, but not so close that we get sued."
those are usually the worst.

in fact you can always tell an art director because they're the ones wearing jeans with meticulously crafted tears in them, a button up shirt with a tie that doesn't match anything and a v-neck sweater with the sleeves rolled up

and they always have thick black glasses and really ugly watches


and then you go up to them and you're like "you're an art director aren't you" and they go "dude how'd you know"

haha
this sounds about right but thankfully most of my work has been remote contract up until now. so their hipster douchiness was unseen by me

i think i've drawn, or attempted to draw a syndicate agent at some point, that game was the best.

and i sorta kinda did take my name from that game. sort of. one of those one-off names you pick at randoms but then it grows on you, that and Gauss was a pretty awesome guy.

god drat i wish i didnt suck so hard at painter

painter is a right oval office to get a handle on. my only advice is after you've noodled around with the approximately 4 billion tools, just pick one or two that you seem to be able to control a little and use that one or two exclusively. like this johnny pic, though it was photoshop and not painter, i did it all with only a single basic textured round.

gauss did you ever go to anything like an art school or take an art course in anything ever at all

yeah, i did. majored in industrial design in college, so i drew a bunch of swoopy cars and coffee machines for a time, though i knew i was going to work on games. previous to that i've drawn since childhood. i've been using photoshop for like 11 years now and have been using it to draw for 7 of those, which is kind of creepy.

hey i just clicked on this to find out if some people wanted to make some arts for this thing

i just talked to docevil and we need to prepare a little sample to show lowtax and i wanted to ask gauss if he could come up with a sort of "cover" like in the style of those sci-fi novel covers with all the gadgetry and stuff in the background cityscape and then the characters with really corny emotional looks on their face or whatever in the foreground haha

the pics he made in this thread are awesome

yeah, i can do a pulp style cover... check this out for instance, it was for a contract to do with pulp takes on Paradise Lost. something like that but even hammier, totally doable.
