Incredible work! Check out http://kr.musicexplosion.net. We are in need of another concept artist. Those are some amazing peices.

I was gonna keep this until the new site was ready, but it looks like that's still a way off.

Note to public: this contest isn't technically open yet, so there isn't a deadline confirmed at this point, but if anyone likes the idea or just feels inspired then by all means start early

The CU team is currently looking for concept artists who are specialised in character design and who are creative and flexible enough to conceptualise the range of characters that inhabit Citadel Utopia.

Question: How do we test creativity amongst talented character artists?
Answer: the Utopian Design Contest

We're asking the artists of the Gaming Community -whether budding or in bloom- to create a universal concept for the Utopian race of the game. The winning design(s) will be used as the basis of the concept art for all Utopians appearing in the game, with the most promising candidates being offered a place on the Citadel Utopia development team and given more design projects to add to their portfolio.

Ideal contestants have studied some form of art or design as part of their further education and have already begun designing their own characters in their spare time. They are interested in games and games design and are seeking personal growth, experience and achievement as a result of their contribution to Citadel Utopia. They may have already worked on a previous (computer) game, although fully able candidates without previous experience will be taken into consideration.

Please ignore the image of the 'Citadel' from Half-Life 2, this is a placeholder image that we haven't replaced because the site is being redesigned. Citadel Utopia is a Total Conversion Modification for the Source engine.

Hey everyone!

Thank you all for your kind comments. these works are all painted in Photoshop which I have been using for 11 months now, I first started when I was at EA Games on January this year.

I have PMed those interested in needing work produced for them

Thank you,

Jonathan

Great looking stuff. Egon beat me to pimping KR.

 

[Ennui]

Whoa, whoa, hold up now. Xenos could really use a character concept artist of your caliber, and I promise you'd have fun designing our concepts - we've got some really nifty ones.

So drop me a PM and I'll tell you a bit more about the mod. Currently still doing preproduction work right now, but we're launching the mod publicly in a few weeks.

 

[Stigmata]

Cause And Effect/url] could use a character artist. If you're interested, drop me a PM, or apply on our forums.

Great work on Brad Pitt, he looks like Max Payne, only slightly cooler

Yeah that's the one that stood out most for me. It's a nice study (plus the guy has a staff like the Enforcers in the Mod I'm developing).

 

[Jonathan_McEnroe]

I'm going to be doing a few more of these so I can do one at that resolution for you

Are you working on a WACOM Cintiq with that resolution? 1600x1200

If you are, bloody good monitors to draw on

[Jonathan_McEnroe]

Hey guys, thats me fully booked up now!

I'll need to work at ym own pace on these concepts, quite a bit to get through now. There might be a chance that I will have to cut back on one or two projects to give the mods more time that they need so I appologise to any team that I might need to drop in advance.

Thanks for your interest guys, I appreciate the warm comments

Jonathan

 

[Asknoone]

Thats some talent you've got there. Shame you didn't want to work for KR

Good luck with your other projects

 

[Jonathan_McEnroe]

Hey guys,

well, I've decided the project that I'll need to drop are the following.

Utopia, KR and Xenos

I appologise for any problems this may cause and I wish you all the best in the future.

Thanks again,

Jonathan

:/

Well I may give you a buzz at the opening proper of the Utopian Design Competition in case you've reached a less busy patch.

 

[Nagash]

i know your all booked up now, but was wondering if you'd want to do any work of an anime style, might be something that isn't your style of work, but heh, can't hurt to ask. We wouldn't need you right at this moment in time, so we can wait until your done with everyone else first, then if you fancy something on a diffence style of maybe what your used to, gimme an email and we'll talk

[email protected]

i would email you, but i know your busy, so it's your choice if you email me after your done with everyone else

also i don't believe no one has made any john mcenroe jokes yet You definately are hot property here since no one is daring to say anything about your name in case they offend you by mistake
