Section 8 Logo

A while back I hinted about a big logo I was working on for a new video game. It was HUSH HUSH at the time so I couldn't say much. But the media floodgates have finally opened and I can now tell you the game is called Section 8 and is coming to XBOX 360, PS3, and PC. I did MANY versions of this logo, some more fleshed out than others, till the clients decided on the one you see below. (I wish I could take credit for the awesome art below but I only did the logo itself.) Still, I think it looks great on the box art and whats cool is the eagle emblem is used quite a bit in the game as "badges" on the shoulders of the armor. You can see what I mean by watching the trailer below or click here to see the awesome HD version.

Steamroller Studios Revisisted

Just a little while ago I showed you guys the logo for my new company "Steamroller Studios" while I had fun with it. We needed something a little more adult and professional as who knows what kind of games we will be developing one day. I wanted something iconic and after talking it over with some artists friends. This is the final result. Props to my boy Torrance for the sketch this is based off of, and to Mr. Iron Fist/Velvet Glove himself, Jared Mirabile for the awesome custom font.

Crystal Clear 3D Animated Intro

So now that I've been getting my feet wet making these speed drawing videos. I thought I would get a fancy 3d animated logo intro to put before them. I've always wanted one of those cool movie studio intros to use on my short movies. But since I have yet to get around to shooting said movies I have never had the need. But these speed drawings give me an excuse to be a little self indulgent. That and having my good buddy Keith Lackey hook me up. (Check out some of the movies he's worked on here.) They include everything from Happy Feet to Fantastic Four 2. He's also working on the new Hobbit movies and James Cameron's new flick Avatar. Anyway, I designed the logo of course and even added the sound but he did the coolest part. Modeling and animating it. PROPS TO MY BOY! I'm also now considering offering 3D creation to my customers with him at the helm. I'll have to see if there's a need for 3D logos out there. Hope you all like it. You'll be seeing this before all my videos now. Which by the way, my next speed drawing will be Angelina Jolie as Catwoman. So stay tuned for that.

The Project We Will Not Speak Of

I can't say much on this design other than it was designed for a big video game that's coming out on all systems in 2009 and this is one of the designs they are NOT using. (I designed over 70 variations) This project also pushed me into the realm of 3D. I've learned so much already about modeling, lighting, textures, etc. I can't wait to apply this new tool set to my work. The new doors this opens up are gonna be great! Ironically though this version was not done in 3D. But I did use a couple cool new photoshop techniques in it. Hope you all like it, don't forget to leave your feedback. It's always appreciated.
