Hail to the Chief, he's the Chief and he needs hailing.

343 Industries recently announced a teaser for Halo 4: 

This was all done before I signed on, but I thought it was pretty neat.

Kung Fu Panda 2 DS Concepts

So at Griptonite Games I worked a bit on some concepts for the arenas in the game.  It's an rpg style game that takes place after the movie, and you're rounding up wolves and other baddies.  They were super fun, but they're pretty derivative. I didn't have a ton of time for them, so they are "first shots", and therefore mediocre.  Don't care, posting them anyway.

bit of news.

Today was my first day at 343 Industries, the company now handling the Halo intellectual property. There are some truly amazing artists there, including some of my personal heroes, and I am extremely lucky to have an opportunity like this.  It's an absolute dream come true for me to work on a project for this franchise. I can't really say much else, other than thanks to those who have helped me along the way.
