Here are some plein air studies in gouache, acrylic, and oil respectively.

Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time Concepts

Here are some very early blue sky concepts from the game I worked on last year before departing. I don't know if these made it in the final game.

Uncharted 2 stuff

Uncharted 2 is out so I can show some of the things I worked on. Since I came in late into the project, there's not much stuff worth showing. I did mostly concepts for outsourcing and some small tasks left over. Here are a few things below:

The top image was a pre-visualization on the gate to Shangri-la in the Gompa tunnel and it's animation mechanics below that.

The next two are sketches for one of the dig-temple doorway designs and the SLA crossbow ortho used later in the game.

The last two were most fun to do. These were some of the texture images were mimicking the cheesy Bollywood posters in the Nepal Warzone level. You have to look carefully in the level to find theseI had to make these look really bad in a good way if that makes sense.

(Yes, that is Rodrigo in the poster in case you were wondering)

Enjoy!

Here Kitty Kitty!

Here's a sketch of something while looking at hairless cats. Enjoy! Don't forget, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves releases on October 13th!

Just for fun...

Something different from the same 'ole, same 'ole concepty stuff.

September update

Sorry I haven't been posting since the last month. Things at work are winding down for now. On the sideline, I've been asked to develop a tutorial with a publication and also involved with another art publication in Asia who is doing an article on my work. These things are keeping me busy at the moment, but more things to come my way soon. I also have to thank my buddy Stuart Kim for helping me facelift my website and for making it "visible" on the internet. God bless you Stu!

Two great games and two great companies which I had an honor of contributing on the last year and currently are releasing their games soon. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be out this fall. These two games should be good! Please check them out.

In the meantime, thanks for being patient with my slow posts. I'll have something up soon! ;)

Cheers.

Quickie

Snuck a quick one in before I left work today. I didn't plan to finish it, but left some of the anatomy of how this began. Goodnight!
