It's been very busy and tough last 6 months personally and I finally had a chance to organize the files to share with you guys. Unlike from U2, I was fully involved in Uncharted 3 from the pre-production and once again, it was a thrilling ride with awesome talents at Naughty Dog. On a side note, I left ND after U3 last year to join a team here at Marvel. Meaning, it'll be another long pause until the next update so hope you enjoy these for now. :)
It was a very pleasant surprise for sure. And it was pretty cool to see the piece hanging on the wall at E3 with other winning selections. Congratulations to other 16 winners at this year's Into The Pixel and hope you guys enjoy the large version of the piece here.
Sorry about lack of posts here... 2010 was a busy year which means I've got a few things to show but I need to get my hands on them first. :) Well, first of everything is a tutorial I did for Advanced Photoshop Magazine. I had to rush this because my hard drive got fried a few days prior to the deadline so I gave more love after I turned it in. Hope you guys enjoy and more coming soon. :)
Just wanted to share with you guys that the Art of God of War III book is now available for Pre-Order.
Once again, Daniel Wade and awesome folks at Ballistic Publishing did a fantastic job and the book is a BEAUTY!
It was a great experience working with the talented concept artists like Jung Park, Cecil Kim, Izzy Medrano, Andy Park, and Scott Seeto.
I only have a few pieces in the book but kudos to Stig(the game director) and awesome artists over at Sony Santa Monica!
I was contacted by a publisher to have one of my personal work used as a cover for their upcoming book by Walter Jon Williams.
3 years ago, I had an awesome opportunity to be part of the God of War III team and now I'm finally able to share my work with you guys. It was a year long of incredibly fun time working with the talented team at the Sony Santa Monica office. And the concept team of myself, Andy Park, Cecil Kim, Jung Park, Scott Seeto, and Izzy Medrano had blast working together creating so much fun characters and environments. Not to say it wasn't challenging at all but creating unknown world with infinite possibility was so new to me after working on modern war related games for so long upto that time.
The Art of Uncharted II book is finally arrived and available now. Awesome folks at Ballistic did a fantastic job putting the book together and the book is really awesome. It's definitely worth keeping a copy so go check it out here!
If you order a Special Edition or Limited Folio Edition of the book, you get 20 minutes worth of video recording of concepts by Robh Ruppel and myself. My portion has about 10 minutes of concepting this crossbow for Drake.
And here's a matte painting I did for the Fort level. It actually wasn't used in the game because I had too much details compared to what they already had in the game. :( But it was fun! :)
About a month ago, I was requested to do a speed painting demo for the Digital Artist magazine CD. The magazine and the CD was released recently, so here you go.
It was one of those last minute thing so I rushed a bit but luckily, it came out not so bad, I think.
It's about a week late post but the artists from Naughty Dog are having a gallery show at the Gnomon Gallery.
Before I joined the Uncharted II team, I worked on God of War III for a year at Sony Santa Monica and the game will be out soon this month. Once the game is out, I'll be able to share my work so check back soon.
For last 6 years, I've been doing event renderings for the ESPN Magazine for their Super Bowl After Party. This was done with my good friends at Event Eleven. This year, it was at Fontaine Bleau hotel in Florida. Here's the before & after shot for you guys.
