I had a chance to deliver ad design for Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. My work included background and copy graphics which were used in augmented reality ad campaign at contests.gamesradar.com/airstrike/.

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.

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.

Kratos is coming! One of my fav PS2 games is going to be continued. I could post that as Inspiration but this is just about pure joy. FUN is more than inspiring, right?

I want to recommend you this small site (as well as movie), which connects film with game in such a brilliant way. First check out Max Payne – The Beginning (Graphic Novel) and then go to Max Payne website – the game was released in 2001 and sequel, The Fall of Max Payne, in 2003. Gallery division has some graphic novels from Max Payne 2 — for me it’s inspiring and a great lesson to learn from.

It was a while to get this game on my hands, but 31st of October (2008) was the day when I start playing Fallout 3 and didn’t stop till now. If I am not sitting in front of my comp exploring wastelands, I’m reading and thinking about current/next quest at least. It’s impressive!

I’ve decided to give a short introduction to everybody who are not familiar with this game and may never heard of, just because they don’t play. As I figured out lot of designers just don’t like or don’t have time… Well, for this game you will keep some extra hours and treat it like another project . But I want to say it’s really worth of your attention – no matter what you think about all video games world.

Fallout 3 takes place in a post nuclear United States, in the Washintion DC area. The year in the game is 2277 and you start off the game as a young boy that lives in Vault 101, a fallout shelter. The game begins at birth and flash forwards using minor mini-missions, where you establish your character and skills selecting the traits you feel will be the most important for your style of gameplay. *quote source

First of all you should Prepare for the Future and official Fallout website. Go and visit both sites.

One of many things I like in this game is it’s mood – a post nuclear, sometimes humorous and scary, always dirty, seasoned with perfect ’30 music and ’50 aesthetics. Graphics engine is great even if you are not running newest PC (didn’t compare with console versions).

Next take a look at some screenshots at my favourite site Gamespot or just launch video review, also available at Gametrailers. For more inspirations go and check out this nice Evolution of a Franchise video prepared by IGN – a good way to compare F3 with previous versions from 1997 and 1998.
