Updates from me (work projects)

Wow -- I knew that it had been a long time since I've updated my bog.. but didn't expect it to be since October of last year!?!

time flies..

As for me.. I've been busy with work. I'm a Sr. Art Director for Microsoft Games and I'm currently working on 3 projects (Killer Instinct, Phantom Dust and 1 title yet to be announced). This keeps me very busy with travel, meetings, creating concept art, partnering with my developers, etc.

Killer Instinct has been a lot of fun.. we've released season 2 and with it, many new characters and new stages. The team at Iron Galaxy has been great to work with! Below are some images from Season 2 that show concept art and in-game art that I was involved with.

Here is a small sample of work from Season 2:
