For almost three years, I've been working in the pc game industry. I spent two years working at Sunstorm Interactive on games that I'd really rather not discuss.

Before the game industry, I jumped around a lot with jobs in print advertising and web development. . . . but I'm feeling a lot better now.

[Shane Caudle]

Hi, my name is Shane Caudle, I am the Art Director for Epic Games, I have worked on Unreal, and Unreal Tournament, currently working on the PSX2 version of UT, and designing our next game. I do art, duuu, level design, character models, skins, Textures,interface design,etc. Pretty much any thing in the game accept programming. Before that I did a comic book called Eye of the Storm, and animations for TV, and games and stuff.

Basically everyone who works for us at Epic, got the job by doing something really cool and proving that they could bring value to the company prior to getting the job here at Epic. Either by doing cool new levels, or making a cool mod, designing cool characters, making great skins or textures,etc.

I suggest anyone who wants a job in the gaming industry, should create some really cool content and place it on a WebPages at tell everyone about it. This is how I got my job. I was making a Total Conversion of Quake by myself, and within 2 weeks of me putting up my WebPages for it I had job offers from 5 major game companies.

Hope this helps.

I work in an editorial art department at a newspaper in Pittsburgh using programs like Freehand, Illustrator, Photoshop and QuarkXpress to create graphics. The art ranges from maps and charts to full page explanatory graphics and illustrations. The official title of what I do is Informational Graphics which is exactly what I went to school for at Ohio University. Page design was also tacked onto my major but definitely not one of my strong points.
It's great to get paid to draw.

(89 posts since Nov 99? That's pathetic, eh?)

I have freelanced in the past for places such as BMW and Los Angeles county, but currently I work as a concept artist for the game company Westwood Studios in Irvine,CA. I was the sole concept artist for the upcoming title Red Alert II, and have worked on a variety of projects including NOX,Tiberian Sun Firestorm, and the next generation Command And Conquer game.

In addition to pure concept art, I do some modeling and texturing from time to time in 3DS max and Alias, and I have even been known to bang out interface mock-ups in visual basic on occasion. My work process involves jumping back and forth between markers on paper, 3d models, and Photoshop/Painter

I don't have a website yet, but will get off my lazy butt and make one soon.

I'm a Character Animation Supervisor at Sony Pictures Imageworks. Recently completed FX work on "Hollowman". Previously supervised animation on "My Favorite Martian" & animated lots of bug shots on "Starship Troopers". Before that I was an animation director & supervising artist in the games industry for a while. Before that, I was a freelance illustrator. I spend most of my time in Maya (animating, setting up characters, and writing MEL scripts), but I try to use a pencil for at least a few minutes everyday.

BTW - We're gonna be looking to hire a whole slew of 3D CG character animators very soon. Anyone interested can email me directly at the office:

Currently I'm working as an illustrator for Mattel Interactive. I have the honor of being the only english-speaking illustrator in our office, so I end up doing alot of other stuff that the producers don't feel like translating to the others (interface design, production art, etc). Plus, Mattel is selling us, so everything's in limbo.
I feel like General Confusion up there, and am also actively looking for new job.

Before this job I was partnered with Samdragon doing freelance projects around the web. We have been following Spooge's work from wayyy back when he was starting to do those Marathon paintings. Naturally we found our way here.

My goal is to someday afford to work freelance again, or start my own company with Samdragon.
