2 years of Mafia Wars
(all images in this post are © Zynga Inc.)
While I do feel like a complete failure for not updating my blog for over 1.5 years, here is a sample of what I've been doing in the mean time at Zynga.
This is some of the item artwork I've made. There's plenty more but I think this gets the point across hehe. Each image is 200x200 but was created at either 400x400 or 800x800. There is a mixture of pure photoshop, painted 3D renders, and maybe a few photo mashups. Also, I don't know if it's just late or what, but it looks like blogspot's gallery is ruining the image quality on everything. :\
City specific work:
-Bangkok
-properties
-Vegas
-properties (stages 1 through 5 - all pieces upgrade individually)
--each building has 5 upgradable interiors, here is a sample of 4 stages of the poker room and 1 of the hotel:
Social job art, leading up to the snoop dogg publicity event:
-Italy
--properties: concept to final
(I was responsible for building and painting the environment. Karl Espiritu, Claire Marshall, and Gina Van Meurs helped with painting the individual properties)
Having been given the responsibility of leading this project, I was very happy and proud of our team for what we created in such a short span of time.
-Brazil
-Properties
stage silhouettes for the refinery property
(alternative layout idea)
(final background)
-Misc. images
(a couple characters based on members of the Mafia Wars team)

Sketches...
Here's some new stuff... Kinda lost focus for a bit but I'm back and really inspired to work on my own art again. I think one of the basic things I really need to work on is starting with an idea. I really enjoy just making marks until something starts showing up, but I frequently end up with compositions that have almost no focal point at all. Ah well, live and learn...
^^ That movie was pretty bad ass I gotta say :D

It's been a while...
Happy Holidays everyone!
Sorry for the lack of posts lately... can't believe it's been over a month. I've been real busy working at Zynga but it's been a blast so far. We just had our Holiday party on Friday and it was amazing! Aside from all the fun I had hanging out with friends and making new ones, I was told that in a couple weeks when we come back from the Holidays, Zynga will pick me up as a full time employee :D woot woot! Oh and I couldn't make a post without posting some art, so heres a CHOW I grinded out this evening (yes yes there are many issues with it).
Oh and the topic was some sort of interdimensional surveyor or something - the story they wrote for the breif was pretty cool.
