I’m still waiting to hear from James about how we’re going to proceed with the layout, so I suppose I’m technically on vacation. Since I have nothing to work on for him, I’ve spent a little time working on some models for Jon. He’s creating a game with some friends in his spare time, and asked if I’d be interested in doing some artwork. I told him I was more than happy to help out in any way, and promised to start as soon as I had the time.

I can’t go into too many details about the game itself, but I am allowed to tell you it’s going to have zombies in it and will be totally and completely badass. I can also tell you that I’ll be modeling the weapons and environments for them for now, and maybe even the finished assets for the game. That would be neat!

At first Jon wasn’t sure what I should model, he just said “Weapons.”. I took it upon myself to model a few machetes and a sawed-off shotgun (essential in any zombie game I figure). I sent some images of the models to Jon and he was pleased. I asked him if I needed to model replicas of real-life weapons or if fantasy was allowed. He gave my imagination the ‘okay’, and I spent a few hours last night making all these models.

In case you can’t figure it out, there is a pistol, a flamethrower, and what is commonly known as a BFG (Big Fucking Gun). I want to do some sweet renderings of each one of these, but I’ll wait until I’m done the book layout I think. I would hate for my machine to die on me because I was messing around with Indigo.
