Rise From Your Grave!

Hey everyone, I'm back! Sorry, I've been laser-focused on my web site, and my blog kind of took a massive hit for that. Right now, I'm in another overhaul phase for the appearance of my site, and I am stuck on designing the header right now. Once I pretty up my site, I'll start using my blog, Concept Art, and CGHub profiles more often too. I'm also trying to get everybody on the Facebook group I created for students from my school to have some sort of online portfolio, nudging them ever so slightly in the Blogger direction, heh. I should have a new laptop soonish too, so I'll be able to do a lot more work soon! See you guys soon; after I overhaul my site.

Cheers,
-Joe

Hey everyone.!

I haven't forgotten about my blog, I've just been using my web site to post all of my stuff. I'll probably continue to post my work on my site. Once I start sketching more stuff instead of just doing portfolio work, I'll post the sketches on here. Until then, my site is artmahler.com

Cheers,
Joe Mahler

Environments!

Just finished working on thumbnails for the environment I am going to do. I did five and added a sci-fi twist to one of them. I initially started off with a ruined temple idea, but it sort of branched off from there, location wise at least, heh. I also posted them on my site on the main page, e-mailed them to Kev, and am about to post them on a Facebook. Kev just e-mailed me what he thinks for the environments and he liked Solitude a lot, in case blogger doesn't like to show the names I'll name them in the comments section.

Been a while, here's a quick sketch I just whipped up.

I was going for a greaser, but he ended up looking a little too modern. If I put some more work into this piece I might add it to my web site, but for now I'll put it here. I'll probably do that with my sketches, post them here, and possibly work on them some more and add them to my site.

For the next 5 weeks

I'm going to be doing all of the sprites for a top down war game from an indie studio. I just wrote up my schedule and a check list for everything. I really want this to pick up so I can convince the guy to sell the game on multiple platforms. Hopefully, after this release, I can also convince him to get some of my friends from school to join his studio so we can start building something bigger and perhaps garner a decent sized studio in MI at some point. Still, its kind of cool, knowing that I might be helping start a game studio, heh. I am also working on a character seperate from this project, which I am working with Kev on again! Along with the character, I will also try to do an environment as well. Works picking up again, lets do this!

Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't replied in a while. I finished school on May 26th and have been on a break since then, job hunting a little here, and there. My web site will be my primary source for my updated works, but I'll put them on here too. Now that I'm getting back into the groove of doing work, I'm going to kick it off with an environment. I was thinking of something real, obviously, but with a sci-fi or fantasy twist to it. I might do fantasy, since my portfolio pieces are all cyberpunk. Artmahler.com is my site again. See you on there.

Cheers,

Joe

Quick Update

About 11 hours until I have to present my game with my team at our school's annual conference, interfaces. We've put a lot of time and effort into this game. Countless hours and endless days were spent making this game. Hopefully we do well! Also, the booklets they have for Interfaces messed our team names up, we're team "What She Said", the other team is team "Death Ink", but the booklet reads as my team and I are team "Death Ink" and they're team "What She Said". In spirit of that, I drew their character, Scrap, in our game's style, and one of their artists draw our character, Anarkitty, as a stick figure. I will post my rendition of the Scrap character. Moving on to Capstone, I am working on the final character, Utnapishtim. I have his rough outline done and will post it along with Scrap(Both tone and color.)
