Hey everyone. I found this forum recently and noticed a lot of talented artists. I work for a company called Liquid Entertainment as a concept artist. Right now we are staffing up an art team for another project (aimed at the next generation console). So if you're good...and need a job, drop me an e-mail or visit our company site: http://liquid.to .
Before you apply, here's what we're looking for:

- must have excellent 2d background
- good w/ low poly modeling and animation
- good w/ texturing...
- experience is a plus....
- and play tons of games....

we're located in southern california...have people from all over the industry....here are some info about our first game....plus i'll upload some concepts......hope to hear from some of you soon...=)

and if you read game magz...the current issue of computer gaming world (CGW..the one that has a chick on the cover w/ a sword), has a pretty good article on us. Plus, if you are in europe...the next month of EDGE will have a big article as well.




i hope these links work...never posted before..

Anyway, good luck with the search.

excellent stuff here. DOing the doug Chiang thing eh? Very nice concepts, I really like the simplicity.
Very nice blend between Jap-Anim and American comic book art. Do any color work too?
I know this is a job post, but I am too inquisitive regarding good art.

[Francis]

Aw shucks. You should check out Fred's site too. The site design is not too swift (right now), but the art certainly blows mine away.

Anyway, your stuff is really cool - post some more if you have some around.

dang fred....good stuff!! Very professional. I come from an industrial design background...thus the marker/pen look (i probably had some of the same teachers that taught chiang....he just happens to draw better..hehehe...makes me so jealous). I'm more interested in concept sketches than finished paintings. But recently i've started to paint in photoshop....i'll try to upload some when i get the chance. I'll also try to upload some more concepts....it's hard cuz of the copyright shizzats...

Hmm, very nice and clean indeed. Good job, and good luck!

Fantastic character designs! Love the costumes, weapons, poses - and the line quality, shading, contrast, details, composition... Great work Vortx/feng! Good luck with your search, too

I like the first one's cloth boots, the second's giant hands, the third's shoulder shields and the last one's booby rings

I used to work in Thousand Oaks

Kurisu-I used to teach in thousand oaks at associates in art.
Vortx-if you haven't heard of associates, they have a website. I would go down to the school and post a notice for your jobs too. I bet you'll get hit up with lots of resumes...good luck...

[kurisu]

Fred, your Kung Fu is very gooood... yabba dabba doo to you!

(it's funny, I wrote "San Diego Rules!" in my post above... and then realized Vortx wasn't from there... heh heh - I saw you were from there and just assumed "Southern California" was there too! I grew up in both! lol) Okay, maybe that's not funny

[Visigoth]

Vortx -- Fantastic work! Very original and creative...hehe I'm already [notsohappily] employed, but if you guys are ever in need again... *whistles and looks at the ceiling while pointing to his URL at the bottom*

~{V}~

P.S. Fred -- You taught at Associates of Art College in Thousand Oaks? Hah...I almost attended there a few years back, but was hampered by lack of adequate financial aid...Good school from what I hear though...

Hey Feng, Wassap!

Fancy seeing your stuff here! I saw your sketches in a mag a few weeks ago and I've been meaning to call you. Looks like your kicking ass and taking names. Lets see some color stuff!

Red Alert II is winding down (You can check out my concept stuff at any random Red Alert II site - all the concept stuff is mine). By the way - did you hear that Ryan turned down Star Wars to do concept for ILM's new CGI division!? Crazy fool. Better money I guess. Dave is back in town working freelance for MTV celebrity deathmatch. By the way we are selling the SGI - let me know if you want to buy it - it has PowerAnimator 9.0/256 megs ram/souped up video card etc.

Drop me a line at [email protected].

Hey TJ! Whats up man! Long time no talk. I also saw your work up at gamespot....cool drawings man. Gotz that Art Center style....i knew they had to be your drawings. The game i'm working on here is actually doing pretty well. Getting tons of good press...especially after E3. So my future here looks bright. I'm doing tons of 3d stuff now...mostly interface and textures (using them 2d skillz). But i'm also gonna be working on another game soon (thus the posts here)...so that'll be fun. Anyways, i have colored work, but i can't post them cuz of copyright stuff. But i also have tons of personal work....i'll be uploading them soon =) Maybe some spaceships..hehe...but not Origin ones...
So how's westwood? Did you know that i'm down in irvine almost everyday...cuz of gf. So maybe i can come by. I also know some kick ass artists over at blizzard....so we can all hang out. I'll mail you my cell # later. Did you know i still play the sh*t outta starcraft....ugg....it's like a damn drug..
Okay, it's getting freakin late...i'll write more tomorrow. Perhaps upload some new drawings. Put some of your stuff up man.....especially new things! =) hehe
k, talk to you later..
