The Ecstasy of Gold, Part I: The Good

This is another style exploration/homage to one of my favorite films, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. This is the first in a series of three posters I'm working on to hang up around my office. I'll let you guess what the other two in the series are going to be...

Sims 3 Showtime Announcment!

Now, those of you who know me probably don't have me pegged as big fan of The Sims. I tend to lean towards the gritty sci-fi shooter genre in games, for sure, and even in my artwork, I tend to prefer the same. However, for the last 9 months I've had the opportunity to branch out and delve into a genre outside of my typical comfort zone. I've been working at EA Salt Lake on a new expansion pack for The Sims 3, and I've been having a blast! Today is the official announcement date, so check out this video to see some of the stuff we've been working on. A lot of what you see was designed by myself and the talented Jace Wallace, and our awesome object, character, and evironment artists have done a fantastic job bringing it all to life.

My wife needed an illustration for a sign for her office Christmas party, so I thought it could be a fun opportunity to try a new style. I actually learned a lot along the way, and I've got some ideas for future illustrations...
