Kixeye!

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 10, 2012, 2:11 PM


As one door closes, another one opens.  Seems like a good time to let people know that I've recently started working at San Francisco-based KIXEYE as a Senior 2D Concept Artist.  Very cool company, and it's growing fast.  KIXEYE is well known for its hardcore RTS titles like War Commander and Battle Pirates--both available for free on the Facebook platform:

WAR COMMANDER here.
BATTLE PIRATES here.

No cow clicking in sight, folks--just ballsy, explosive action.  I'm having a blast working on several different titles at once, both live and in-development.  Learning a lot, trying lots of new techniques, and genuinely enjoying myself.  Not sure when any of my stuff's likely to go live*, but you can bet I'll post things just as soon as I can! Until then, enjoy the best recruiting video ever made HERE.


*UPDATE 12/12: Some things just went live!

I miss going there too. :( Been posting a little on the Save COH FB group, but I'm not sure where else to go.

I was actually on the game yesterday, titan has a sort of coh creator hack and players can mess around with it. And FB is the best place to be, it's got the largest assorted group of ex-coh players and the like. Nice to have you there :D

Great gallery! I really wish that moba game had worked out. You did some spectacular work on the character design.

Thanks a lot. Was devastated when they pulled the plug, but luckily, I was able to jump right into another MOBA, this time for Kixeye. Stay tuned! :)

Congrats on the the job! I love your work.

Speaking of your work, I remember the work you did on Big Hero 6. Did you see that Big Hero 6 is becoming a movie?

Check it out! [link]

Yeah! Can't wait to see what the characters look like. Wonder if they used my designs as a basis? We'll find out soon!
