On July 6th, Microsoft laid off 50% of id Software. Among these cuts were folks like John "Jebus" Roberts, a principal engine programmer on the id Tech engine. For 15 years, Jebus supported the games you love. #SaveGameWorkers by telling Microsoft to end their cycles of layoffs: shorturl.at/5ruBE

I thought I'd try something new with the background for this kestrel drawing - what do you think?

Way back in 2013 while still living in Los Angeles I did a short series inspired by Robh Ruppel's "Graphic L.A." environment studies. Recently came up again in a comment so thought I'd share since I'm going down a similar road again... #study #process #art #losangeles

#Throwbackthursday From the DOOM (2016) Archives - Slayer Bunker Buster Drop Pod (2014-15ish)..... At one point early in development, the Slayer was launched like a heavy projectile down to the surface to take care of the Demonic Presence. More info on Artstation: artstation.com/artwork/eRB4lD?

Long before we defined the look, feel, and story for Dark Ages, were were given a few weeks of time on 'blue sky' for the project. We were given the freedom to explore our ideas in the DOOM universe. Did not hit the final tone, but it was fun! More on Artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/YGlzPK

Before touching 3D or photoshop for this task, I did a series of pen-only drawings (no erasing!) for the Super Shotgun in DOOM: The Dark Ages! I knew it would need to be lever action + we wanted a flint-lock weapon so it was a lot of creative problem-solving early on. Grey tone added later.
