Plan for Canon
by Canon · 08/01/2005 (5:51 am) · 28 comments
Now, i'm working as a freelance artist. My primary goal is to find some jobs in the GG community.
I already started helping on a few projects :
1/ the Torque Lighting Kit demo of Synapse Gaming
I'm working with John Kabus on the futur demo of the Torque Lighting Kit (the actual Lighting Pack for TGE).
John wanted to show the outdoor and indoor capacities of the Torque Lighting Kit, so I proposed this level design :

It is a very pleasant work, the Torque Lighting Kit offers many impressive improvements (player shadow, self-illumination, smooth lighting...) and it is also very easy to use!
Some in-game screenshots :





As you can see, I also created a character, a goblin shaman, with some particular animations. There are many other things to see in the demo, and John will probably give you more details soon :p
2/ Minions of Mirth
I also work for Prairie Games. Joshua and Lara turn the dream of many community members into reality : they are making a real mmorpg!
I create textures for the characters of Minions of Mirth. As you can imagine, that represents a lot of work! I really like heroic fantasy, so it is a real pleasure :)
Some screenshots from the Torque ShowTool Pro :





3/ Oloo!
Oloo! is the game Mathieu and I are currently working on. Mathieu is working on the prototype and I made some concept arts for creatures and space ships. I think that Mathieu will show his work soon.

So I need jobs, and I will be available at the beginning of September. If you have graphical works to realize, feel free to send me a mail at christophe@frogames.com :)

Note that the contrast on Mac is even better, all this colors makes you wondering only one thing : "Can I eat another one of those pinky shrooms?"

I hadn't saw the 2D art you made for the LP, it's great too! It shows a lot of promises for an eventual T2D game ;)Note that the contrast on Mac is even better, all this colors makes you wondering only one thing : "Can I eat another one of those pinky shrooms?"

Wow!! I love your lighting pack demo screenshots! MAN, I hope you are available when I am ready to do my Path of the Mage game! The style of the lighting pack demo is alot like what I have in mind for the Path of the Mage game. Especially the last snapshot. I love the vibrant colors and cartoon style of games like Tak and Rayman. They are just amazing to look at. I either want a look like that or maybe something like Disciples meets the Ralph Bashki animated Hobbit movie from 20 years or so ago. The Minions of Mirth snapshots look great and I LOVE the look of the creature concept art. Wow wow wow!

You've created an amazingly detailed world for the Torque Lighting Kit demo - it's truly unbelievable how talented you are, and it's always a pleasure working with you. You're extremely professional and lots of fun too! I can't wait to get the demo out and show the community how cool it is. :)
