 ### <center> My Professional Artist's History </center> Before I set out on my journey as an independent artist I spent 5 years creating concept artwork and environment paintings for the video game industry. Most of my time in the field was facilitated by a small, family owned business, called Freezetag. I valued being able to make my own hours and show up to the office at my leisure, not luxuries I would have had had I been employed by a more mainstream company. That is not to say that our small team of 20 was not interfacing with the rest of the broader industry. Certainly we had professional relationships with Bigfish Games, Activision,and Square Enix and attended E3 as Developers on a yearly basis. Ultimately, most of our team was let go due to strategic errors and financial mismanagement, but my time there was highly enjoyable and instrumental in the playing out of the rest of my career. Upon leaving Freezetag, I was brought onboard Altametrics, a software development company, to create game-ified loyalty programs for McDonald's, Quizno's and Taco Bell. This was clearly not my passion, but the money was great for the year that it lasted. Upon leaving Altametrics I committed myself to pursuing my true passion... creating authentic Art. <center>  </center> ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ #### <center> Character Design </center> I enjoyed designing characters, perhaps the most, during my time as a concept artist. Though it was not ever a primary responsibility, I spent considerable amounts of my own time bringing personalities to life. I gravitate naturally toward a more animated, exaggerated style but have since homed in on a bit more realism through a better understanding of human and animal anatomy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Ganesha </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Mini Yeti Assassin </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Ash </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Charizard </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> The Professorist </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Doc Farley </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Roni of the Order </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> The Bluesmith </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Glitch </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Teddy </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Freddie the Sinking Frog </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center>  </center> ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ #### <center> Environment Design </center> I went to school at the Art Institute of Southern California, Orange County. It was there that I discovered the nearly infinite diversity of environment painting. Though it wasn't my original interest, I found that I had a particular ability to create environments at a decent level rather quickly. After leaving school and working in the game industry full time, environments became my main focus. We worked on a lot of point and click Adventures and Hidden Object style games heavily driven by 2d environment painting. Over the course of 4 years I painted probably 100 environments. Below are a few examples that I still have stored on my various hard drives. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Cobra Cave </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Shamba Village </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Woodcutter's House </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Huntington Beach California </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Dogon Observatory </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Akhenaton and Beastie's Pass </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> The Rogue Octopus </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Office </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Magic Forest </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Archer's Field </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Raino and Puddle </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center>  </center> ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ #### <center> Miscellaneous Concepts </center> In addition to environment and character design, I have created countless objects, myriad flora and fauna, pages of icons and a vehicle or two. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Plants </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> Icons </center> <center>  </center> ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center> The Meritocracy </center>  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ <center>  </center> ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have a lot more work out there but most of it is in-game and over the years I have lost or deleted my copies so I am not super keen to purchase them again. But if you want to have a playthrough yourself, I have provided a couple links below. "Black Forest"- I created all of the environments and maps. Other artists created the UI and Characters. http://blackforestgame.com/ "Ancient Astronauts"- I created all of the environments and designed a large majority of the gameplay.
