Another quick post, apologies for the lack of updates, fallout 3 is way bigger than I had expected, along with Fable 2 and Gears of War 2, this is consuming much of my spare time.
But heres the big news: I have an interview for a job as a games developer!!
The interview is down in Brighton, which is a long distance to travel, but I can’t emphasize how excited and keen I am to impress. I’m brushing up on anything they might ask, and I’m making sure nothing can go wrong. Except from the fact I’ll probably be a nervous wreck ^_^.
Expect another post soon describing how it went!
Since I’ve started working 9 to 5 again, I’ve been coming home feeling quite tired, so my art and flash work hasn’t progressed so strongly. I’ll post my newest art once I’ve refined them and scanned/uploaded them.
For now, I offer you version 2 of the graphics worm. I thoroughly enjoyed the graphics worm and wanted to start a new one, with more choice and variation. My solution was to create a graphics wall, where the art can go in two dimensions. Its been started, I just need to get everyone interested and contributing pieces.
Also, heres a random sketch/photoshop colour I did for funsies.
I might not post for a while. I’m getting Fable 2 in the 24th, followed closely by Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Guitar Hero 4, and possibly more from the following list: Rock Band 2, Mirrors Edge, Farcry 2.
I’m wondering, should I write reviews for the games? or would it be pointless as no-one reads my blog anyway? ^_^ I might try to write a review for Fable 2 when I get the chance.
So I’ve got myself a job, and it will certainly keep me going while I continue my search for the elusive ‘games industry job’. The job is as I expected, mostly php/sql, although they seemed curious that I could design, so maybe they’ll put me doing that too. Who knows? The best part of the job is that they understood that I was only interested in a temporary position, so they said that if I managed to find a job elsewhere that suited me better, then I could leave and they’d give me a good reference.
So it’s back into the 9-5 daily workforce for me. ^_^
Now for some art and games.
Heres my latest valkyrie render, still not finished, most of her materials don’t have textures yet. Heres another render, and one of her without materials. (Apologies for the tacky background, I was mucking around in 3DS).
I was going to put up a copy of my latest flash game “I Love Keeki” in it’s early stages, but then I thought against it, and then I changed my mind again and thought “what the hell”. So here is my latest unfinished Flash Game. Don’t ask me what works and what doesn’t. It’s about 2 weeks old, and I’ve been busy busy busy. I recommend playing with the keeki creator, note how the wings change shape depending on alignment and stuff like that.
As always, more coming.
