I have an announcement....ahem...ahem...are you listening??

Okay, so the super secret Ugly Baby Studios game I've been working on for months...You know the one I hinted at here and here? The same game that has occupied all my free hours doing research, painting, doing more research, coming up with concept art for background work and all that jazz? Well I've finally completed the first finished piece of concept art and entered it into a contest!! Woot!! You heard me right...now I don't know if I'm in yet, so I won't get myself too excited...but I entered and am anxiously waiting until June when I'll hear if the judges have selected my piece or not.


This actually turned out to be a much longer process than I had anticipated...the character went through a few revisions and ultimately came out looking like an awesome zombie pin up girl. I'm rather happy with it :) And the work I'm doing for the Exhumed XBox Community game is REALLY pushing my artistic boundaries, which let's face it - that is ALWAYS a good thing. Please, take a look at the new site...there's not much to it yet, but keep coming back and checking in on updates...more concept art to come, that's for darn sure!!

And the game continues to move forward...

Hello all! With the Holiday season upon us, I just wanted to show some of the progress on the Ugly Baby Studios game project I've been helping with. If you follow my blog, you may remember me mentioning my work for UBS before, here. Up to this point, most of my contributions have been in the pre-planning or concept stages. Character sketches, mostly. It's definitely one of those projects or assignments that I would consider a challenge. It's not my normal style or process, so the challenge has been a fun one. I thought I would take this time to show you one of the background paintings I've just finished for one of the XNA game's levels. XNA being the programming framework that these guys use to get the job done. That's the limit of my knowledge on that, so no questions, please, hee hee.

This was all done on the computer....ahhh, so nice to paint digitally. No clean up afterwords, lol.
