Weird fella don't you think?

Remember this guy ^^?

Last year I created the model for an Art Institutes of America TV Spot.

Some of you may have seen this on TV, if it is also used this year please let me know guys.

I was responsible for modeling, texturing, shading and rigging.

Enjoy!

Theseis for PC and XBOX360…

Wed ,08/07/2009
Despite great production values games can fail.

Despite great production values games can fail.

Theseis for PC and XBOX360 uncertain future… probably never to see the shelfs as a PC or XBOX360 title.

Well most of the remaining staff working on Theseis for PC and XBOX 360 left on Friday.
We all got fair compensation, but years of work have virtually gone down the drain.

Following the closing of all related sites and forums the administration decided to let the staff go while still in discussions with undisclosed publishers on the IP’s future.

It is still possible that Theseis will still come out, although probably on a different platform.

Hopefully developed by the same people, who have written the new story, designed and created the levels, characters and amazing music everyone loved in our videos and demo.

Despite the problematic production I know first hand that there are things in this game that would make gamers love the title and remember it as something really special.

RIP Theseis (for PC and XBOX 360 at least)

All Aspect Warfare is a hybrid FPS-Space Fighter Sim for which
I made all the main character models.

To be released on the 9th of June! It is expected to be one of
the company’s most successful titles to date.

Great working with the guys at 3000AD and now getting ready
for our next game: KnightBlade.
