about 3 years ago while i was in Portland oregon, i got an invitation from EA tiburon in Orlando florida to potentially join their massive clockwork. i had much respect for the art director there, Phil Straub, and i gave my shot shot at it. we both knew it won't be fun job for me, doing concepts and illustrations for sports game. i pass this offer, thank you very much. me doing sports star pin ups... right.
this turn of event certainly open the new doors in my head, that in fact, game industry wants what i can offer.
this piece is done using the face reference of football star.... i can only remember his initials RM. but who cares? not exactly one of my proud piece.
