Great work, man, and congrats on the new job!

Any chance of getting prints of some of these? So great.

Been thinking about you yesterday, and happy to see your new post!
I am transforming to kid(like werekid or something) every time i see your new stuff, Jouste. So much fresh ideas, gesture and motion.

Hey Jousteee good to see your stuff, and I like the concept for the zombie game and your art in it. Haven't really been around polycount in a while but I'm glad I looked through it and found your stuff. you probably wouldn't remember me so I'm not going to mention where. You do interesting work. I think my fave is still your soup smith. Later

@Robat: glad to hear! thanks for stopping by with the kind words friend ;D

@ChrissPerr: haha not from me, i don't really have the know how or time to set up anything like that. but print out whatever you like for yourself.

@Conte: I have been really great pal, thanks for asking! just got hooked up with a new job where i get paid to be myself all day, I couldn't be happier! good hearing from you.

hey there my greentoothed veterans! so i've been a little busy at my new gig. it's with at that super indie studio Slick Entertainment. So i've been here about a month and one of the coolest parts about it is being able to show everyone what we are working on all the time! i'll post the bigger res images here just for fun but be sure to drop over and check out our Dev Blog that'll be updated with cool stuff every week!

I'm doing all the games documentation in drawings cause its way more fun to look at and show people. It's so much fun.

So here's some pictures form our game's documentation!

Placeholder Splash Page:

just to slap on the front end. Because every game with turtles and turrets needs a splash page! (working title).

see... these are the kinds of explanations I wanted to avoid... grrr... we didn't work on anything together, I'm sure that would have been awesome though. We where talking: you working over a beer me over some of my sketches I might have been sketching a baby rhino or a catfish-man or something along those lines. then you turned up at anomoly another time but I don't think we talked... anyway great stuff again as usual I like the turtle turret concept.

@Joseph Silverman: holy hannah you have some serious chops! thanks so much for stopping by my stuff and checking it out!

@xk0be: awww yeah! thanks for the gif brother!

@allmightythunder: thanks! hopefully it'll be a lot of fun! thanks for stopping by here!

@:spider_fingers: man it's starting to come a lot more clear. if you ar in vancouver we should totally hang out or something!

Zounds!

Screaming down the battlezone is that fearless fiend Shattertomb! Here he is donning his ancestors' headstones as armor and firing his loathsome-launcher into the fray! These sinister shells sear straight through the souls of all targets! Soul damage is super nasty and is usually highly illegal during these skirmishes but who cares when you're as badass as this guy!?

Shattertombs terrible-chariot is being pulled by a captured Ifrit that is bound by an infernal blood pact to Shattertomb and can be summoned at the grim-warriors convenience. It also uses headstones from Shattertomb's lineage to guard from shrapnel and enemy fire and is super handy for carrying all that extra health potions and ammunition.

This wicked warrior has sold his soul countless times to many different denizens of the underworld. fortunately for him, he uses his cryptic-connection with the afterlife to ransack those demon's homes and steal it back without much of a problem. Now he Destroys the battlefield with his powerful abilities! beware all who don armor this day! for the gruesome-onesome is here to kill!

and just for the heck of it! here's the next pages from the dev blog! hooray!






thanks again for stopping by pals, this was the first place i ever really started posting my stuff seriously. so it's always awesome hearing from everyone!

-jouste

yep I'm still in van and to much time on my hands. so any time you want to hang would be great

Lookin pretty Slick, Jouste.

awesome arts as usual, I'm trying to understand what's going on with Shattertomb's left foot there, is he standing behind the chariot?

Damn.... that was an ass load of awesome. So happy I found this thread. Mooooooooooooore!

<3!

Love! So what kind of a game is this, precisely? The design stuff evokes that recent steampunk sidescrolling game with the customizeable tank... The name escapes me.

Also, have you got MSN or something or do you mind if I PM you? I want to pick your brain about process for designing these guys!

Really enjoying this great job

So cool- I feel if a game design dock pulls you in and reads like a fun experience you cant lose.

Nice drawing here.





3d rendering/architectural visualization

@spiderfingers: once i'm more caught up with my side stuff that should definitely happen.

@ScudzALmight: initially it was a pedal situation but yeah it's a bitch to read. I've been burning the candle at 4 ends recently and just wanted to get something out haha. damn you and your good eyes!

@onelung: wow thanks for dropping by pal. you seriously have some amazing skills, your recent sculpts have been awesome!

@Razorb:<3 right back at you! i knew your name was familiar, then i found that i had a AFoster folder in my saved pics. awesome stuff!

@Joseph Silverman: steamlands! that game is awesome. Beast is a little like that but simpler with less building. you pick your load out at the begining of eatch level then complete it. I'm always on gchat at 1.jouste@gmail.com hit me up brother!

@Oranghe: thanks pal! glad you dig it ;D

@Wild54Pe: sorry what? the images are broken

@konstruct: lets hope so! always good to hear from you again dude!

@frontop: thanks for stopping by!

-jouste the drawbarian

Very kind dude! thank you, love the updates! following you guys on twitter now! im such a slacker when it comes to using it

Just a question, are these actually pages from part of your design process as a team? or is it more of a promotional thing? I F*&$NG love it and its a great example of how to do more visual design.
