New Sculpture

So we recently shipped Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2!! You can see my developers blog here, http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/en/news_comments/making_of_songbird/ .It is based on the civil war story arc by Mark Miller, and drawn by Steve Mcniven. I really enjoyed working on the title and wanted to do something that kinda reflected the time spent on the project. So the sculp will be based on the MUA 2 version of captain america. It is the moment just before civil war when cap and ironman are about to shake hands.



I will try to get my Tiff to take pictures of it often so i can post progress.

Finished paint

Finished off my Cyclops sculpture. Not happy with it, I hurried it to much as i usually do. I have started a new one that I have told myself I cant move on until I am 100% sure of what i just finished. Already looks 100 times better. I will post on it soon.

The Orange Box

So I just got the Orange Box for the 360 and will be playing Team Fortress 2 for anyone who wants to log in and play. Gamer tag is KrookedNelson. This post was really about the game portal that comes with the Orange Box as well. Great puzzle game, and has a very "Independent Film" feel in a video game. Here is a lowbudget flash version if you want a small taste. The actualy game is in 3D and much more fun.

Flash version of Portal (not by valve)

Rocketeer

New thunderdome drawing here. I cheated a bit on the last one. You are only suppose to get 30mins to draw it. On the robot I took something closer to 2 hours. So here is a 30min digital painting. This weeks topic "Favorite movie characters".

"Video game developers tell teenagers that math is cool"

It wasn't I who said that :P

So recently Vicarious did a little community educational course for some local school kids. I was asked to talk on behalf of the animation department and tell the attendies a little bit about our jobs. Here is the locate news paper artical on the event. -Krooked
