It's out

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 1, 2007, 10:36 PM
Last week Uncharted Drake's Fortune for PS3 was released.

It took two and a half years to make this videogame.I was lucky enough to join the development team at Naughtydog seven months ago. The game is expansive,fun and beautiful. It does not have a ton of press behind it like Halo but people who have played it so far have really enjoyed it. I only had a very small part in making it happen. I did textures for props and background environments for two levels. I also did some play testing. Now that it is out, I get to post some of my work. No photos were use in the creating these textures. Textures were painted in z-brush and photoshop. I hope the environments seem inviting and that you might want to run around and find some treasures in them(while fighting off pirates). Here is another link if you are interested in more about the game. If not just look at the pretty pictures:)[link]

Now I finally have time to make some more of my own art. Hooray!

Have a great art filled weekend:> Here is a trailer of Drake's Fortune the game I'm making a few textures for if your interested:[link]

Pa shaw!! Don't be silly, you could do what I'm doing you just have to pick what part of the game industry you want to focus on getting into.I'm really glad you liked the game. I checked out your entire gallery and you have so much great art in there. I better push myself before you steal my job.

OMG.... YOU??? Seriously, you are one of the artists that worked on Uncharted???? I am not worthy of even speaking to you.... Teach me your ways..... I love every part of that game... I spent a solid 45 minutes just cycling through each and every concept art from that game's bonus features, and I must say, to be working in that design team, you are definitely a valuable asset for creating such a wonderful gaming experience!

I too hope that one day I can make it into a big gaming company and become a part of a design team... but you've certainly inspired me to a whole new level! Thank you!

Thank you for the fave! And it's so awesome that you work for the big ND!

Which levels in Uncharted did you texture then?

Expect a watch in a couple of minutes most likely :P
