            Impressive. The red car looks kind of small, and it's also a nice car for someone living in a 'shed'. πŸ˜„

              >> Thanks, Ccaponigro. I included ADA compliance in the design of some of my first concepts, but the Art Director told that we can skip it and have a more simplified design since these buildings are for video games.

              >> Thank you for your kind words, Adorno. Similar to my answer above, vehicles, props and people are also simplified and smaller than real life proportions.

              **Hello everyone,

              It has been a while I have not posted some stuff for Rift. (http://www.riftgame.com/en/)

              So I dug out some older conceptual models I did.

              Have a great day! β˜€

                  Some more Rift conceptual models:

                  This Elven palisade is a set of modular pieces that can be use to create different designs. This was one of my first projects when I started working for Trion world.

                  http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/ken28875/Rift Concepts/A_F_elven_palisade_modular_set_zps2355e5a6.jpg~original

                  Sometimes when I was not assigned to come up with the design, I built conceptual models based on another concept artist's art. The left images in these two following images were done by the lead concept artist. What I did was build the conceptual model and solve problems like perspective, interior section, etc. I also was able to come up with my own designs for parts that were not well thought out.

                    Hello everyone,

                    Here's a conceptual model that I did for the game Rift more than 3 years ago. This is one of my favorite and most detailed models.

                    It is called Caer Mathos and is located in Mathosia. It is a fortress of some kind of evil knight or something. Due to the change of design directions (new stories) and a new art director, Caer Mathos was unfortunately cancelled.

                    But I really had fun working on it. It took me a couple of days to finish it...J/K πŸ˜„ maybe a few weeks.

                    I have some bird's eye renders as well as interior concepts that I will post soon.

                    Cheers!

                              Thanks, Karl. I appreciate your πŸ‘ and kind comments. Yes, it does look like a Gothic Church because I was inspired by images of Gothic Church when I designed it. πŸ˜‰

                                    Hi guys,

                                    I have not posted some Simcity concepts for a while.

                                    So here they are.

                                    For those who play Simcity, you know you have many options for one building style.

                                    As an example, below I have 3 different designs for the "Chicago Style" buildings.

                                      Hi guys,

                                      I have posted this one a few months ago, but the image was really low rez due to Non-Disclosure-Agreement when Simcity was not shipped yet.

                                      So here's a larger size.

                                      Have a great day! β˜€ β˜€

                                        Hello everyone,

                                        I hope you had a great weekend.

                                        I forgot to mention that I have started another contract with Electronic Arts/Maxis, the people behind Simcity.

                                        Indeed, a few weeks ago I got an email from the Development Director with whom I worked on Simcity 5, who said they needed my help with concepting architecture for their next project and offered the job.

                                        It is an unannounced game, and due to Non-Disclosure-Agreement, I cannot say anything yet. But I have been working on it for the past two weeks and I am quite excited about it.

                                        I hope to show some Sketchup models/Renders in the near future.
