Mini update
Posted by David on November 17, 2009
A quick note to say I've updated the Final Fantasy XIII gallery with artwork for Oerba Yun Fang, Brynhildr, Bahamut, and Carbuncle. Just a small update, so I didn't list it in the gallery updates. But there you have it.

Change of residence
Posted by David on November 5, 2009
It's been a quiet week for updates here. What was supposed to be a fairly straightforward move from Raleigh to Asheville ended up dragging on a bit longer than expected. Between the holistics, eco-spiritualists, and quasi-hipaics (yes, I've actually seen that term used) I decided shared living just isn't my thing and finally went with an apartment. And now that my boring life adventures are over with, we can return to our regularly scheduled artwork updates.

Retro updates: Final Fantasy VIII
Posted by David on October 24, 2009
I'm not too fond of scanning. Long and tiring work followed by tedious and lengthy image cleanup. So much easier when I get the digital files straight from the developer! I do scan sometimes though and this week I tackled the rare V-Jump Final Fantasy VIII Visual Guide. Small images and magazine print meant I could only scan a portion of the content, but it was the better portion. I've made off with over fifty artworks (plus two from another mag) which will be split over two updates, and there's a good chance you haven't seen some of them, especially the monster designs in the second update. Even if you have seen them, it's clean art at decent resolution, so it's a good week at CU for FFVIII fans.

Picking up the brushes again
Posted by David on September 28, 2009
It's been a long time since I've done any significant artwork. In fact, the last thing I drew was the layout for CU's redesign in January. I don't want to let a whole year pass without at least a little practice, so I set aside some time this week to break out the digital brushes. I don't usually do fan art and I thought trying some semi-realism with a game character would be a fun challenge, so I took a crack at one of my favorite characters. Pen tool, brushes, smudging, and 20+ hours later, here's the result—
"Lion Heart "

The Art of Guild Wars 2
Posted by David on September 24, 2009
The beautiful art book for NCsoft's upcoming Guild Wars 2, previously promoted via free give-aways at PAX, is now available to the general public. Hardbound and brimming with 128 pages of conceptual delights from ArenaNet's finest, it can be yours for $30 (or a tad more if you're in Europe). ArenaNet's artists really are some of the best in the industry, and if you're not familiar with their work you can find over 400 examples of it in CU's four galleries for Guild Wars and its expansions. We'll also have a fifth gallery up for Guild Wars 2 soon, but it will only feature a sample of what is offered in the book.

Defunct game project artwork
Posted by David on September 13, 2009
Some of you may be wondering what this new Fortress gallery is. Well as many gamers are aware, Swedish video game developer GRIN closed its doors last month, citing bankruptcy. One of their titles in development before the closure was a game for Square Enix, in all probability a Final Fantasy spin-off if the art is any indication. With the project (tentatively titled "Fortress") now canceled, the concept arts are about all that's left.
Update: Or maybe the project wasn't killed at the roots afterall.
