Three Game Companies

Last year I written a document about three companies I would love to work for once I finish my degree in GameArt. I thought now would be a good time for me to share it with you guys.

Jagex

I’m really interested with working with Jagex on their game ‘Runescape’. I would love to work on some concepts ideas and have some of my work implemented in game. I would also like to work on some of the characters models and environments. I have been playing Runescape for about 10 years now so this would be a dream come true to work on one of my favourite games of all time.

Naughty Dog

Naughty Dog is one of my favourite gaming companies of all time just due to the fact that they made the Crash bandicoot series which was and still is one of my favourite series. Even though Naughty Dog don’t own the rights to Crash bandicoot anymore they have made so great games after it such as Jak and Daxter, the Uncharted games and there most recent ‘The Last of Us’. I would love to work on some of the character designs on some of Naughty Dogs games like Jak and Daxter because my type of drawing style would fit into those games really well just like it would with the Crash Bandicoot series.

Insomniac Games

Just like Naughty Dog, Insomniac Games is one of my favourite gaming companies of all time this is mainly because of the Spyro series, this is a series I still go back to now and then. Just like Naughty Dog, Insomniac Games no longer own the Spyro series which is a real shame but they do more other great games like Ratchet and Clank. I would love to work for a company like Insomniac games because they make high quality games with great storylines and graphics. I would love to do some concept art or some of the 3D character models for the Ratchet and Clank series; I think my drawing style would fit into these games really well. 

I'm thinking about posting another blog entry on here very soon about video games being considered as art so make sure you check that out once its posted. Also I will be posting another entry in the next couple of days on this weeks updates on what I'm working on in college.

Well that's everything for now.

Final Concepts and Blueprints

This week I have been working on some blueprints and final concepts for my character. Hopefully in the next week or so I can start modelling.

I have also been working on the another weapon called 'Flobert Derringer ELF 2,5" cal.22 nickel' this is my characters second weapon.

Well that's everything for now.

College Return

This week I returned back to college and I was given a new unit called Character Modelling.
I have been told that I need to make the following:

• A Bounty Hunter who is from the year 5220
• He needs to reflect the era that he has gone back to
• He should have a futuristic weapon
• A weapon from the era he's going to
• A time travel device

I have picked my character to go back to Victorian England. 

For his futuristic weapon I have given my character a modded cane which can also be used as a shotgun.

Throughout the week I wasn't to happy with the handle of the Cane Shotgun so I decided to change the handle with a few small changes. I think this could be the final design.

This is what I want the character looks like. I may make some changes in the future.

At the moment I have only done one design for the time device, I have given the character a pocket watch. I thought this fit the character pretty well.

In this unfinished drawing I have the character opening up his blazer to show off the gun he will be using. This gun will be from the Victorian age.

I will show the finished version of this drawing in my next post. 

Well that's everything for now.

Thanks for reading,

**Edit**

Because I'm not planning on posting my next blog post until next week, I thought I would add the finished drawing to this post.
