Wizard101 Avalon

When we start a new zone in Wizard101 we will sometimes do "map" concepts that just indicate the general geography and color mood. these two are from Avalon. And a couple magic mushrooms too. You cant have a fantasy world without magic mushrooms.

AZTECA!

A new world for Wizard101 has been announced and Todd Coleman put up some more of my character concepts on the facebook page so here are some higher res images. Hopefully I can show some dinosaurs soon....

Badger Merchant

Another character concept from Wizard101. These are two different classes of the same Badger character base- a Merchant and a Smith.

Avalon-Wizard101

This is the alchemy lab in White Owl Tower. Im not sure how the owls could use all that equipment..but it was a fun concept!

Wizard101

Kingsisle posted my Elf Tree concept art on their facebook page- heres a little higher res version...

Pirate101 Mooshu concepts

Heres a bunch of characters I concepted for the Mooshu world of Pirate101. they were just released on the website. Theres some pretty cool descriptions of each one of these guys so check it out if you have a chance. Also check out the interview with Jeff Toney on the Pirates of the Spiral. Our game is now in a closed Beta release and the reviews im hearing are amazing. Its definitely been a BLAST to work on a more stylized "fun" game. hard to believe ive been here over a YEAR now. Kinda reminds me of the old Disney days...

Kingsisle

Heres a couple more of my concept pieces that have been released.  The first one is the library in Monquista (Pirate101).... And the crab dude is from Avalon (Wizard101).

Pirate101

Well for the last year ive been working on an amazing new game with a great company Kingsisle. Things have been pretty secret but heres a few pieces of my concept art that have been released that I can finally show. Its been an honor to work with these guys- some of the most talented people in the industry- Melissa Preston, Dave Greco, Phu Gaing and Nick Overdiek to name a few. Check out the site here.

Evil Tree

Another old concept pic. Mainly about the atmosphere and mood of the place. This was exploration art for a game idea that has since gone away.
It lives now...only in my memory (thats from the Road Warrior for my fellow nerds!)

Back to Blogger

A few of these were on my website but now that im back to blogger I wanted to put them up. These are  from another one of those cancelled projects that gets filed under "would have been cool".

        

color sketches

These are really fun to do- just fast environment sketches with big shapes of graphic color. The main idea here is to quickly establish a mood with lighting and color. I didnt want to spend more than an hour or two at this stage because the point is just to see if the level can communicate the right atmosphere for the story note.

These were done for an unnamable and cancelled project.

Deadshot

Another Iphone game I worked on with the great guys at Clockrocket Games. It was a lot fun painting the creepy environment and then seeing it incorporated so quickly into a finished game. If blasting the brains out of zombies on your iphone sounds like fun you can check out the app here.

ZOMBIE TERRORS!

Ive got an 8 page story coming out in the fine book ZOMBIE TERRORS. Its a crazy groovy new tale of the BlIND DEAD, written by the King of Transgressive Media David Zuzelo. Its over 150 pgs of zombie crazyness! It ships from Asylum Press around Halloween time. You can also preorder it from amazon.

Darkwood

Added Deanna to finish this Darkwood illustration....

character paintings

Some character paintings I did for fantasy role playing game. I think i had the most fun painting all the tools and weapons. these were for Paizo.

Darkwood

Haunted wood of the Carnigor. From Otegs Carnomicon

space concepts

Concepts for a kids Flash game. Project didnt get very far but it was a blast to work on. There is something really liberating about working in a more graphic style- just simple fun shapes without much rendering or textures. Its more about the composition and simple color ideas. the movie The Incredibles is a great example of what I mean. I think kids respond much better to this kind of thing. When we get older of course we just want to see dirty ultra textured realism.

Carnomicon

More sketches from the cursed text The Carnomicon- written and illustrated by Simon Oteg.

Undead Templars

Coming soon from Asylum Press! Well...maybe not soon. But its coming! Nothing can hold the Templars back! This is more collaboration with my pal David Zuzelo: Master of all things pulp and transgressive.

In the meantime Zombie Lovers can pick up the latest Issue of Asylum of Horrors. RUINED EARTH part 2!

Epic Mickey

I did some work for Junction Point on their Epic Mickey project-Heres one of my concepts theyve posted for promotion-Check out the article here.
Theyre an awesome group of guys with amazing talent and the game is going to twist Mickey Mouse in a pretty dark and radical way. I cant wait.

The Carnomicon!

Lost art from the Carnomicon. Dreaded text compiled by Simon Oteg.
