>> Thanks, Peter. Glad you like the Moss houses and kilns. It was fun building them as they are more organic than the usual architecture buildings.

**Thanks for your kind words, Ronald. I hope I will be able to post some of my building concepts I did for Simcity 5 soon.
Here are some fairy house concepts.**
**Please watch for my next post on my sci-fi thread in a few days. I will post some new personal sketchup models that I did during the past month after my contract ended with EA/Maxis (Simcity).
Happy holidays to you, your family and loved ones!

Hello everyone,
I went to my archived files and I digged out one of my first tasks working on the MMO Rift. It was back in early 2006, almost 7 years ago.
The first image is the conceptual model that was approved by the Art Director, although I kind of like the second one which is a little bit more fantasy.
Have a great day!
_KN
The approved conceptual model from 2006 was later re-used and redesigned into a different fortress about two years later. I did post some images earlier in this thread. But this is the one I was referring to in case you have not seen it.

I suspect my rate of work will drop off significantly when this game comes out...looks great

impressive, inspiring work, Ken.

Dang! I WANT that game!
And yes, impressive work Ken.

@ Pilou, James, Daniel and Bryan K:
Thanks for your kind comments and interest in the game Simcity 5.It is coming out on March 5th.
Check out the website:
http://www.simcity.com/I worked on all kind of buildings : commercial (hotels, boutiques, supermarkets, etc.), residential (apartments, houses, trailers, etc.), industrial (Warehouses, Coalbreakers, etc.).
Hopefully, when the game is out and I get permission from PR, I will post lots of higher res architectural concepts I did.
Since I am still under NDA, I cannot post high resolution images to show you what I did work on. But here are some screenshots from the games (you can find the videos on youtube) as well as corresponding concept art.
We had 3 in-house concept artists in charge of doing some buildings for Paris, London and Berlin. I got the task of designing the British apartments. But at the end, I was assigned to do all of the 3 cities.
So here are the London ones for our English friends. I know we have lots of them in the Sketchucation forum.
Have a wonderful week!
