Kings Road art

I Got to work with some fine and extremely talented folks over at

 Rumble Games.

or

Facebook Rumblegames

It was their game called Kings Road and you can play it free now.  Click on over.  Here is a smattering of what I helped with from designs, to caricatures, storyboards, and under painting establishing shots.  It was an interesting project to see the characters come to life with their in house painters.  They did it to keep a consistent approach across the art assets and it was super fun to see the stuff change and morph into what it is now.  Greg Faillace is the art director and it's fun to work with someone so talented, trusting, and concise.  Good times.  I hope they need me again with a different game down the road.  This is about 1/3rd of the work.  If time, I'll add more if people are interested.

Update and an image, boy oh boy!

OK,  Hopefully from the last couple of years you know that I keep this blog updated often.  The first few weeks of 2013 have been enormously busy.  I will hopefully have work to show sooner rather than later but everything I am working on is under NDA and very Hush hush.

The life of a freelancer gets busy quick as since the last week in December I started working with Trendy Entertainment, Disney Interactive, Shadow Machine Animations, Bento Box, and one yet announced slug for Slugterra.  That along with the holidays and such it's been overload of awesome.  I'll be getting back to regularly scheduled blog posts with new art soon.  Still hard at work on the graphic novel with plans for a new website redesign.  Time to get serious with all my free time.....  I plan on doing tutorials and free comics (one a week storyline etc)  Not sure which is first.  I'll post some Fil n Mantis tomorrow from the graphic novel to prove I'm still hard at work.

I'll leave you with this:

Burpy.  The main slug from Slugterra.  We went back and forth many many times and although he looks very different in the show, we had a much more adult Burpy for awhile.  Some early explorations and the such. (and yes, Dave and Greg did so good on how they presented their concepts for the show I used the idea too)
Thanks again for stopping by and supporting me on the journey.

cheers,

Bean

Slugterra slugs

Yes I know, more slugs.  A smattering of the ideas and the final decisions.  Some are spot on and some of the designs get major overhauls.  I really wanted Crystalyd to be an older, senile, and blind tunneler but it didn't work out that way.  Thresher started with chainsaw teeth but the overall idea morphed.  I hope a gouled slug ends up with them teeth of doom... hopefully.

Think Tank Anthropomorphic Pirate

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a "Herd of cows", a "Flock of chickens, a "School of fish" and a "Gaggle of geese". However, less widely known is: a "Pride of lions, a "Murder of crows" (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an "Exaltation of doves" and, presumably because they look so wise, and a "Congress of owls". Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not ... a "Parliament". A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!
