I've had an interesting career in video games since I was last on Deviant art.  
  
I worked at a start-up game company. It was a lot of fun, but in the end, the game just wasn't any fun. Rather than let it be not fun, I burned all of my political capital trying to make the game good. I ended up leaving with a bit of an unpleasant taste in my mouth, and the company folded about 6 months later.  
  
Then I got a job at Subatomic Studios, and I worked on Fieldrunners, Fieldrunners 2, and a couple of unannounced titles. This was pretty good, but not good enough to move to Boston for.  
  
Now, I'm looking for a new job, but the bright side is, I have an opportunity to fix up my portfolio.  
  
Stay tuned.

3D

I finished working on making games. Unfortunately I bit off more than I could chew for the last one, and realized after 4 months that it would probably take another 4 months to complete. It would have ended up being a reasonable sized game boy game when completed.

Now I'm back to making 3D in the hopes that I'll find a game job soon. I learned ZBrush and I'm just trying to add some really great stuff to my portfolio over then next month or so.

The drawing portion of my year of study has come to an end, and now I'm off to make some games.

Thanks to all of you for looking. I may at some point post some of my older work that never made it to this site.

I'll let you guys know when I've got some games ready and I'll post some game art maybe.

Later :)

Well after a wonderfully productive start to my year of study I all of a sudden found myself totally consumed by all sorts of obligations.

I'm a big baseball fan, and I dreaded the beginning of the Baseball season because of the distraction that it would represent to my goal of studying. So... I decided that I would not fight it. I got a fairly prestigious job as the Questec system operator for Oakland Coliseum. It's a 4 camera computer vision system that is used to evaluate the performance of the home plate umpire. So I flew out to Arizona for spring training, and I have been working all of the A's home games. It's been cool. I've met all of the TV commentators, and it's fun to feel like I'm part of the show. So, while I'm wasting more time on Baseball than ever, I am getting paid for it. So, every day I do baseball I don't HAVE to draw, but my study schedule has now been extended until February 2008.

If that wasn't enough of a distraction from my studies I decided to start working again on a TV show I have been involved with for several years. This took up almost all of the free time that I had left-over from baseball. It's not entirely artistically unfulfilling, but it is practice of a certain type of art, that is somewhat to the side of my envisioned career part. I feels much more like community service than artwork. If you're curious it's online at:
video.google.com/videoplay?doc…

Also I did some contract work for my previous employer.

Anyway that is why I haven't had any time to draw. The plan is still the same, but the schedule has been padded somewhat.

Thanks for reading -Rory-
