Faith and a .45

This is the first project at Deadline Games for me.
Unfortunately, this project was not released.
Because of the company couldn’t get a publisher. Too bad...

Basically, all of characters were modeled by me.

Tools: Modo, 3dsMax and in-house game engine

Vampire Rain: Coronel

This image was made as a PR picture for "Vampire Rain" of AQ interactive.

Tool: Maya

Bulletwithch: Dragonbats

This is also one of my work in BulletWitch. This "monster" is called "Dragobats", that was made as Middle boss of this title. This has 245skeltons, and 100,000polygons as Realtime character.
Why we could use such number of data is, because this was a quite huge(250m) monster, and in this stage, he was the only enemy in game.
All of "eyes" could move indipendently as skined character, and they attacks as"flying eyeballs".
You can see the movie of this at

BeatDown!: Characters

At this project, my responsibility was "rebuilding of character's quolity".

When I joined the team, the title was already in the middle of process.

And the director needed to change all character's proportion firstly.

Because for his eyes, they were looked like "Japanese" in generally.

So firstly I changed their proportion into "Westerner" like, and designed 3 basic proportion, Big guy, Midium guy and Fimale.

Secondly I started to design them, I could have "script" of in game story, so I imagined their "looks" from it.
But at time wise, it was super tight. I upped few of my original drawings, actually they looks cheap but I drew them 1 character in 1 day each. Concepts was much more important than each quality, at that point.
In average I produced each of characters with 1 month, from concept design to finish the models with skinning and facial morph targets(with Softimage!).

And also, they had “injury expression system” at faces and upper body with separated complicated UV coordinate system. I never want to do same thing in Softimage again that was crap…with XSI would be OK to do it.

BulletWitch: Alicia

XBOX360 title "BulletWitch" of AQ interactive.
This image was made for cover image of Japanese game magazine that named "Fami-tsuu XBOX360".

So, the big space at above of her head was prepared for the Logo type of the magazine.

Tool: 3ds max

Shinobi: Hotsuma

This picture was made for Sega's PS2 title"Shinobi",
and used for Billboard of SEGA booth E3 in Los Angels.

You can see the movie of this game at here.

I also worked as a camera and lighting artist at the scene of "dancing with sword" in this movie.
and, "long haired" final boss was built with me too.
