Tremendous character work on WAR. I was hooked on that game for a while, until they nerfed my sorceress!!!! ;P
If I had anything to add to your port, it would be some more Z sculpts, and a couple examples showing you understand the in's and out's of next gen asset creation... just to cover bases. There's plenty of work out there, but rounding it out in that fashion will just give you more options.
Maybe make a 'game version' of that Kaine bust?
Good stuff!
I thought you did skateboard designs for a second from the thumbnails hah
It's one thing to have worked with you, but to see the bulk of your best presented really puts it in perspective. Great stuff, Jeremy! Good luck out there.
Rooster: hah, I never saw that until now! All the repetition of that shape on our Tomb Kings content burned it into my mind.
Sage: thx man
cholden: thanks buddy, and congrats on the new job!
Also I would adjust a few of the thumbnails so the viewer gets a better idea of what they are looking at, The 1st 3 are the best previews (and the 5th one).
Definitely agree with ctrlZ, some texture maps, wire maps and normal maps or w/e would be really good to include.
That armored dude is sooo filthy nice job
the bone snake is great
I'd also like to see wires, and texture flats.

I love your takes on the different concepts you were given. I myself am working on a charcter using those concepts and i must say...they are fun to work on
Im not sure if he's allowed to show the maps/wires (depending on the company). but i do know someone who works over at EA-M and he posted flats somewhere on the netz.
killingpeople: Hah thanks man, it's good to see my love returned!
ctrlZ: Excellent point! It can be way too easy for me to never go back and finish a "work in progress". If I don't get these done soon, I'll take them down until they are. -I'll look into adding wires, and find out if I'm cleared to show texture flats as well. Thx for the input!
Dippndots: That was bugging me as well, but I think you may have just pushed me over the edge into paying for the ability to tweak the premade layouts from wordpress. I'd been on the fence for awhile. I'll see about those preview icons as well. -Thx!
rooster: heheh thx again!
Sectaurs/JacqueChoi : Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!
BoBo_the_seal: Thanks man! Let me know if those former Mythic guys get out of hand. I'm sure I have plenty of blackmail material on most of them. ;p
TelekineticFrog: Thanks buddy, you've been missed! Your Halloween tombstone represents more than just you these days, hah.
butt_sahib: Thx man! We had a fantastic concept team, I'm glad so many people got to see and be inspired by it like we did. -hopefully I can get wires and flats up.
Xenobond: I'll have to look at it again. I just remember feeling a little sleazy at the thought of posting the whole thing since it was started directly from your giant and bits of your texture were still mostly intact in places.
-Thanks for all the feedback everybody!
-Quick question, does it bother anybody that the navigation isn't standardized? (clicking on some images goes straight to the image, but others go to a subgallery with more than one image.) It seems like the only way around that would be to make each loose image open in it's own page. - but then it would still be displaying the forced medium size image from flickr requireing an extra click to see the full sized shot. Which method would be less annoying?
about flats: what I've heard is that people can figure a way to extract textures or dump the video memory from the game so as long as the assets are in the game and public it's find to show flats.
Of coarse everyone asking for them are going to complain about the UV layouts you guys had to conform to.
P.S. I want to see a full rez version of your red bird-guy-thing
The Chaos Knight and Spider Boss are sick as shit
while some ppl make it their living complaining on these sorts of things, the truth is simple: just like a hot a chick - if your work is good u can get away with murder.
regardless, its fine.
I gotta say if people like you are looking for work I'm screwed when I graduate in a month!
Other than that, ts damn clear to me you know what your doing! Fine fine stuff man!
