welp...i'm fired.
polycounter lvl 18
So yea, studio is shutting down next year and I'm out of a job.
here's some crap.
mutant zb model
Here's some Halo Wars stuff I was ok'd to post from way early in development that was never used. In game cinematic stuff.
never went beyond a zbrush phase on this one before I moved to a different project
We never got the hair to work well on him so he was temporarily bald which ended up ok since the brutes in halo 3 weren't really hairy like the ones in 2.
brute weapon
early version of the ship's AI, closer to the way Cortana looked compared to her final visuals.
jackal based more on halo 2 than 3 (we hadn't seen any of that stuff yet).
background critter guy. looks silly but it was fun to make.
I have more stuff for halo wars i'm not allowed to show yet, since it hasn't been cut from the game or publicly announced. Will post it here if/when I can.

The Halo Wars stuff looks ace, been looking forward to it. Nice to take a peak at how things were going before being finalized.
Hopefully finding another gig and getting right back into the swing of things won't be too hard with this under your belt.
Best of luck on the new possibilities I am sure there will be lots!
I wish I was in a position to help, but I'm in a similar boat. I think you should have no problem securing a new job. Good luck.
that mutant looks squishtastic
Cortana has such a great body
I'm sure you will find a new position soon
If not we could always start a group called Dallas Unemployed Developers: DUD. Drink alcohol everyday and remember the good times we had.
To back up what everything guys have just said, your an excellent artist and whose folio i visit often
So youre not out of a job ATM right? when does it shut down exactly? maybe you should do some freelance on the side to help?
rest assured tho...you WILL take our jobs
not for long with pieces like this
really cool work, as usual.
if you ever feel like coming over to the UK for work, gimme a shout
also I'd like to request the meat pig be resurrected in this thread:) MEAT PIG!!!!
Do you have any tips, tutorials or help you'd like to provide us with? I'm a pretty novice modder at the moment, especially at texturing, your work is brilliant! Definatly industry standard.
I'm sure you'll find a new job before you know it!
Maybe you should try a little harder next time DH. Geez...Somebody told me once you were good...
Seriously though, like you're going to have a hard time finding a gig.
Where are you wanting to end up, if you had your pick?
Well you can always reenter your old career...
