Here are some more images of my first tomb.

This was my first attempt at a tomb level I was learning how to build rooms and play with the lighting.

IT'S BEEN AWHILE

 Well it's been awhile since my last Blog, just been super busy. Got a new job with IBM, Moved to Columbia MO. , (still stuck in MID WEST hell oh well.) And the quest for a video game job goes on. The kid is getting bigger he never seems to stop growing. I have some new projects I've been working on since I last posted. I've discovered the TRLE (Tomb Raider Level Editor). And have been playing around with it. A new friend of mine has turned me on to the Quake Army Knife Level Editor (QuArk) and I'm really looking forward to playing around in that. Here are some pics of what I've been doing. Hope this stuff will hold you over until I get a chance to learn QuArK.

Random Ideas.

Here are a few ideas from back in the day 2008. Ive seem to have moved on from these concepts but maybe one day will return to them and flesh them out. Next I'm starting work on my war in heaven. Been think a lot about it. My mind keeps going back to a game I used to play called War hammer 4000. It was great, had little miniatures you used to fight grand battles on a table top. But from what I remember it had this whole Roman Catholic theme going on. So maybe I'll start there.

Whats UP world?

Well here we are in NOV. and nothings changed but the weather. Living in this country as an artist sucks. I think maybe it's time to move on and broaden my horizons maybe look toward Europe or maybe Asia. Maybe I can find happiness there. Anyway here are the concepts I promised last month. It's been busy here at work I feel like a slave just working me life away to make someone else rich. Maybe I should say more like a wage slave. Life goes on I only hope I can make things better for my son, Luv you Joshua. This is the concept for my Napoleonic Cowboy game. This idea is on the back burner for know.

Life Blues =(

So I haven't posted in a little while I've been in a creative funk. I applied for a job with IBM last week but it doesn't look good. It hurts to think I've been busting my ass to learn how technology works for the past 4 almost 5 years and still no one wants to give me a shot. I had this idea for a Napoleonic, zombie, Gothic horror concept, but I'm just not feeling it. I'll post what I have It's not much but it will be preserved in my little corner of the web. As of late my thoughts have turned to GOD. I have to thank him for the two best things in my life right now my wife and my three year old son. As I set and reflected on my relationship with GOD I can't help but think I really pisst him off some how. It seems my entire adult life has been nothing but one long endless struggle. As I set here and think about it my childhood was the best part of my life, for it was the only time I was truly free. I know that may seem weird but even though there were rules to follow there was the freedom to explore and learn new things at my own pace. Now in my adult life I only worry about money and how to keep my family together. I don't know but as a artist we just seem to feel things more emotionally than most. I can only imagine what my wife goes through when shes on her period but at times I think it has to be alot like I've been feeling this past couple of weeks. I'm tired of weeping over money or lack there of. So I have no where else to turn but to GOD. Its funny I look at all of whats going on in the media with vampires becoming good, wizards and witch craft becoming accepted and the lack of respect for religion and I cant help but wonder whats going on. As a artist I seem to be going back wards for as more and more people seem to be walking away from GOD, All I want is to get closer to him. I feel you don't have to go to church to get close to him but you have to believe and have faith that's all it takes. GOD has been testing me my entire adult life and it hurts a lot but I well never give up on him because he never gave up on me. It seems me and Lucifer and his demons battle daily and at times I feel their winning for the simple fact that there just waring me down. But I know the war is not over and wont end until I'm dead and then I feel it will still go on even in heaven. Because I feel my spirit well never truly be at rest. So with all this in mind I've begun a war in heaven concept a story about or dealing with the fall of Lucifer and the angelic wars that were fought for GODS throne. I will have to come up concepts of what heaven looks like to me. Of the angels and demons as well as the spiritual places that the dwell maybe something like the 7 heavens. There are three video games that I'm drawing inspiration from 1. Spiritual Warfare buy Wisdom Tree 2. Heaven the game made by Genesis Works and 3. My all time favorite game The Legend of Zelda. The goal of doing this is the hope that I can get closer to GOD, because the way I've been feeling lately he just seems so far away from me.



AIM HIGH !!!!! Just a little idea........

 

 

 

It's been crazy!!!!

It's been a little while sense I've had a chance to blog. It's been crazy, My car crapped out on me so I had to "Throw it in the gutter and go buy another." But I've changed direction on my concepts and ideas yet again, as an artist my mind is moving so fast that ideas seem to come and go so quickly. So for know the Japanese ghost story is on the bake burner and a Zombie apocalypse has taken it's place.
