Looking at the last entry date of this blog I realized little more than 2 years passed since I last posted. In the past 2 years I got nowhere near the amount of content I imagined I'd put up here. But that doesn't mean the pasts years have been unproductive...
Before I truly
restart this blog I feel I need to give a quick update of what I've been doing in the
past few years.
Somewhere 4 years
ago I decided to fully commit myself to becoming a 3d/environment artist with
the goal to one day work on awesome games. Ever since I've been working really
hard, learning, practicing and absorbing every little piece of information I
could find.
After the
competitions over at Eat3D (older post in this blog) and the surprising results, I got a lot of positive
responses to my work, and this really helped me getting noticed.
As a result I got the offer to work for Interceptor Entertainment as an environment artist, working on
Duke Nukem: Reloaded. Although the project got put on hold indefinitely in September 2011 there was a lot of passion in the team and it was a great experience working on what would have been a great remake of a classic. I moved on after the project stopped but it is awesome to see how Interceptor Entertainment and its team has grown and is kicking ass with the Duke Nukem platformer pack and Rise Of The Triad, which should release later this month!
The biggest change in my life was shortly after, when I joined the team at Crytek Frankfurt, in December 2011. I got an offer to do environment art on Crysis 3 and I took it.
Moving to Germany
and leaving my hometown was probably the hardest thing I ever did in my life. And certainly the biggest step I ever
took. At the same time it was also the easiest decision I ever made. Luckily Frankfurt is only 3-4 hours away from Arnhem and hometown friends
visit on a regular basis. I
achieved the goal I set for myself 4 years ago and the ride up until now has
been great! In the past 1,5 years that I have been here I've met and worked
with great people and on exciting things but the best is yet to come.
With this recap out of the way, last restart this blog! Although I'm not going to promise a
constant stream of new posts I have a few drafts lined up to work on so keep an
eye on this page!
