The Thing - concept drawings 2by *Kaduflyer

Traditional Art / Drawings / Macabre & Horror

Back in 2000 Bob Keen (of Hellraiser fame) was hired to develop a video game sequel to John Carpenter's movie The Thing.

Bob came up with a truly great story line that was both prequel and sequel to the movie and brought in myself to do creature concepts and my long time buddy Mat O'Toole to do character design.

Still to this day I don't know what really happened....I kinda suspect our ideas and designs were just to expensive or difficult to turn into a feasible game....but about 3 months into the project we all found ourselves 'replaced'. No one actually said it in so many words but I suspect we were all fired!!....lol...I'm happy to say that for all 3 of us it's the only time that's ever happened!!

This is a 'Rupture'....a large manifestation of the Thing similar to the final creature seen in the movie.

Great work! I'd like to do character design as a possible career as well, If you ask me, the higher-ups firing you was their loss, much love!

Thanks for the kind words. The games industry offers huge opportunities for character design (more so than the film industry) so work hard and practise your craft and there's no reason you can't build yourself a fine career.
On a slightly different note, I visited your page and read your journal. I don't pretend to fully understand your own predicament as I know these things effect all people in different ways, but I think a career in art is the best therapy you can have. Art drives you, takes over your life, becomes your REASON for life! And yeah that DOES tend to make us all a little nerdy...but WTF!...this is the age of the nerd yes? Artists also tend to be very tolerant, liberal minded creatures who really don't give a s**t what floats your boat or tickles your pickle...they';re into art and you are too then 'come on in!'
So make art your life...and I'm offering no guarantees here... but I think you'll then find life seems a whole lot better!
