I have just finished graphic designs for Duke is Back website which was recently launched. My role was to deliver graphics (attached above) based on main image with Duke and some aliens. All scene in header and content was designed using photo manipulation and matte painting skills. Online version has some animations included so it’s worth of checking in.


I remember when Duke Nukem 3D arrived in ‘96 - it was so opposite to Quake and lot of fans were fighting (in words :) which game is better and why. I used to play both. Anyway it’s a good time to recall all these memories like theme song or gameplay… By the way, where is my pistol?

About Duke, for sure: “Super confident and overly aggressive by nature, aliens fear him, and women fawn on him. Duke Nukem is the ultimate bad ass! When the Earth Defense Force faces its toughest challenges, they only call on one man to get the job done right the first time! When all else fails, Duke doesn’t!

Recently I had a chance to make this illustration for Deep Silver, which is developing and publishing Ride To Hell. It’s a video game set in 1960’s, player become a Vietnam soldier returning back to home and simply cannot find his place in the world again. But it’s not so easy for man who was far away for few years so he join biker gang… Open world, nonlinear format, lot of missions and more.
