Mars Attacks

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

So much of concept work is meat and potatoes props. But that work is fun and fills a space! The palette team on Marathon did a brilliant job bringing my concepts to life 💙

You can play the Total Conversion mod without VR!

here i'm playing with a joystick + 30 year old muscle memory of the keyboard controls

I can't get over how great this is

not to brag but Ben gave me a personal tour of areas he concepted 💅 AND we even extracted

My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups!

They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago!

More shots of Maintenance in Marathon. Spent a good chunk of time concepting architecture and props for this area. And once again, it wouldn’t be real or look so good without the amazing palette and world art team 💙

I'm aware and I am seeing specialists, too

My bunker design made it in game! Just crazy humbling to see this stuff out in the wild. So grateful to all the other artists who made it possible

A terrible drawing of a fruit bat (featuring a piece of fruit with bat wings)

Out here doing excellent work

I showed my doc a weird new symptom and she went 'huh, I've never seen that before', which you gotta love hearing from a medical professional

More vehicle shots! Such an amazing thing to have been a part of

Some shots of vehicles I designed for Marathon. One ended up in the animated short and the others are in game. Once again, huge thanks to the world art and palette team for taking my work and pushing it 💙

CAIRN is terrific -- its focused, unique climbing mechanic feels natural & is challenging without feeling unfair; the survival mechanics feel appropriate to the environment & aren't cumbersome to the point of annoyance. Plus there are tons of accessibility/difficulty adjustments. Big thumbs up!

For folks curious, a chunk of my concepting was for Field Maintenance in Dire Marsh and designing the big harvester vehicles. What @ninehydras.dev and the world art/palette team did is so so rad

Yup, I was so excited to play but ended up lying down for half an hour with regrets and didn't pick it back up again. At least it was a dodgy control scheme accident and avoidable

I have! I would prefer that control scheme, it makes more sense to me. I think I only felt nauseous because I rolled a LOT, out of control. Seemed to be something wrong with the controls.

My mom donated to the Smithsonian and we got dad’s name on a plaque at the Air and Space Museum in DC. It felt important as he flew so many aircraft and dedicated his life to being a pilot. The best way to honor him.

it takes a lot for VR to make me sick, bleh

gave myself motion sickness in TIE Fighter in VR by activating the roll option on the controllers and accidentally spinning wildly 😔

Not really. The hands are tracked to my real-life hands - my left hand is pushing buttons and my right hand is operating the ship. My real right hand doesn't stay perfectly aligned to the digital yoke so it looks wrong, but it doesn't affect the control of the ship & I don't notice while playing

I love VTOL!

I haven't tried myself but I imagine so!

TIE Fighter Total Conversion in VR with a VR controller interactable cockpit is phenomenal. God I love this game, it's so cool re-visiting it like this.
