Schoolism Interview w Bobby Chiu (FAU + CDQ too!)

0 min read
Hey folks! A few new updates from yours truly lately- some exciting stuff has been happening. Firstly, Bobby Chiu of Schoolism/Imaginism was kind enough to call me up for an interview! We talked about freelance and the bumpy road to stability- if you're struggling yourself and trying to make a go of freelance, consider giving this a listen: In addition to that, there's an interview with me (with some new exclusive art!) in Character Design Quarterly volume #8! I even get to share the issue with fellow Procreate artist and absolute iPad wizard, Max Ulichney! You can pick up a copy here: https://shop.3dtotal.com/character-design-quarterly-i

Wingfeather Saga - Animated Short Film!

0 min read
" Over the course of the past year and a half, I've had the privilege of leading a team of friends and artists as the production designer/art director for a short animated film based on the childrens' book series: The Wingfeather Saga! It's been a labor of love, and many months in the making, but I'm proud to have a film we can use to pitch a longer film or animated series. Please give it a watch and if you like it, share it far and wide! If you'd like to see a collection of all the development work and character design I did for the project, check it out on my website here: https://www.nicholaskole.art/the-ruse/

Thank your luck I got nothing against your Spyro-works. Except Dr. Shemp. Why did you turn him into a naked ogre version of Osbourne instead of keeping him as a bug he was? What was the point? What did you have in mind when you did it?

So u're here too, huh? From what I understood is that you never really cared about Crash Bandicoot to begin with, and only joined IAT and did as Activision told ("these outdated pieces of shit are a threat to mankind oink oink oink give 'em new Overwatch-esque designs oink oink oink and don't bother including their best features oink oink oink if fans don't like it they can just kill themselves oink oink oink") to get paid. Am I right?
