Hey kids. Here's some work I did that Total Film posted for Pacific Rim. An amazingly fun project to work on. I wasn't there long, but had a blast. Pretty excited that they used some of my images for the article. Eventually I'll write up more about the experience, but the team and Guillermo were amazing to work with. Doug

Tendralien
Sort of dumb, but a quick alien sketch. I'm using that PS standard soft brush more and more. I'm not sure if it's out of laziness, or because I'm really digging it.

Work items
Hello kids. Some work posts. This guy didn't make it into the game like this, but I always liked him. So...enjoy. We're getting close to wrapping this thing up. I took the game home and played it this weekend, and damn it was fun. I'll post more when it gets closer. Here's another vid.
It's pretty massive for an XBLA game. It'll be on PC too, but still. Our team is under thirty people, and that's everyone. We have less people than most games have animators. Pretty crazy.
Anyway, hope you like.
OH! I played a fun and freaky game this weekend for the iPad called Slender Rising. Pretty slick for a small game, seriously freaky. Check it out, but make sure you play with the sound on.

Galaga 01
Sorry for the lack of updates. I know it's a constant phrase on this blog, but I've been crazy busy. Super fun projects.
So I'm going to try for at least two updates a week. Two mini pieces of art a week. They don't need to be finished. Just quick shit. Like this post. My re-imagined Galaga bug.
One of those things I loved about early arcade games is that the graphics were so ancient, you really had to use your imagination.
So the above is supposed to be this guy.
I'd say I'm prrrreeeeettttyyy close.
More to come.

Painted Scuplt
This is basically a sculpt sketch, imo. I probably spent a total of three hours on it, not including baking time. It isn't as cool as when it was baked, but I learned a bit making it. Plus, it was fun to pull out the ol' airbrush again. I think it's been well over a decade since I used it.
I hope I get some time to make some more of this stuff.

Been pretty busy lately with lots of fun stuffs!
So numero uno, the above image is featured in TRIUMPH by Greg Broadmore. It might be my favorite book he's put out. I highly recommend picking it up. I wasn't goging to show the whole image, but Christian Pearce did, and if he can, so can I. Right?
Line art by Guy Davis. Colors by sexy Doug, that's me.
Another project I worked on was a motion comic for the Terra Nova dvd/Blu-Ray. Javier Soto directed it, it's the second project I've worked on with him, and it was great. He's a super cool guy, and easy to work for. Which reminds me, I only colored it, Guy Davis did all the line art. Guy Davis, one of my all time favorite artists.
I also worked with Javier on The Great Calamity, which will be featured on the Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter Blu-Ray. It's super cool, and was another fun project to work on. Javier chose a super cool animated style to render it in, and I actually like the tone of the short better than the actual film (Which I also enjoyed). You can read a little about Javier's flick HERE.
There was some other things outside my day job that I can not talk about. Secret shit. Mayan calendar and all that. Illuminaughty shit. Naughty.
Then, there's the day gig. We're getting really close to an end here. I'm excited and terrified. Oh! We're selling shirts. Buy some.
PAX went really well. Those are my fat fingers in the above video.
Oh...and then there my ever fucking unending preproduction movie. Man...making movies by yourself is hard. the arm is working pretty well now though, and I'm piecing together how to make some silicone wounds.It's a great learning experience if nothing else. That image of the arm is a few weeks old. It's better now.
Lay all this on top of trying to get in a little bit of shape, two kids, a wife, and a little bit of sleep; not much time for anything else!

State of Decay
Well, it's been almost two years. A ton of shit has happen, but I'm please to finally show some work from my day job. State of Decay is the game I've been working on, and we're finally sharing it with the world. It's an XBLA title that our little team put together. I'm pretty proud of it, and super proud of the artists I work with.
Anyway, enjoy the site and check out the trailer, more to come. Click the link at the bottom of the page to see the game in action.

Space Jockey Redesign
'Effing around with a jockey design. I tried mixing Giger's original design with Sumerian legend. Giger's original airbrush painting had this sort of elongated head, which totally jives with the head wrapping Sumerians did. Quick fun.
Still like the original trunk idea on the Space Jockey though.

Dead Fairy
Man, soft brush and noise filter are your friends. My strength as an artist has always been speed. I never really wanted to be anything other than a concept or comic artist. So learning quick tricks are good for me. Been a good couple of learnin' weeks. ;)
