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!

Still feel like I have a long way to go, but it's all practice, man. They say it takes 10,000 hours to get good at anything, and it definitely applies to art.

I congratulate you for the Gladiator, that unit destroys all that is in their path, nor the most powerful paladins can survive!
(but also I think it's a friend of Eye-Ra (monster of Backyard monsters), he first destroy the walls before anything else...)
