16//Designer Insults Part II

Featuring another jerkface.
A few years later, when I started working at Trion as a UI Designer, this happened to me. I thought it wouldn't happen again. I was wrong. Different guy, same insult.

15 // Designer Insults Part 1

Featuring some douchebag. XD
Going to be the start of a series of Designer Insults! I have some really good ones lined up. It's ridiculous some of the crap people have said to me about being a designer/artist WHILE they are trying to hit on me. It's like.. "Really guy? REALLY?" This one happened a few years ago while I was working at cyworld doing web design/UI work.

Rift Mobile!

Something we've been working on for the past couple of months. Has definitely been a challenge since we had a small team to work on this. I was the only artist, and we had 3 engineers, to work on the iOS and Android version part time while 1.6 stuff was coming out. >_< iOS beta version is out for now. Android will be released soon. Soon as in, when the rest of the engineers are back from winter vacation... =P
Kotaku and Massively. This app is totally free, and can be downloaded from the marketplace. http://itunes.apple.com/en/app/rift-mobile/id471051079?mt=8

I did all the art for this app, and here are some of the minigames we call lootables. These are much like scratchers where you match icons to win a prize. All prizes get sent to you through in game mail. We had a lot of thrashing from branding about this not looking Rifty enough, but to be honest, mobile games have to be fun and appealing! What's more fun then cute critters and crying snakes? Ahaha.. There are hidden crying snakes on each card. Why crying snakes? Because their tears are the rarest drop to complete your tears artifact collection. The art for these cards were done in order below, so you can see it gets progressively more elaborate. If you're a Rifter, these items should look more than familiar to you!

Other cool features include being able to chat with your friends and guildies. I've been using this app everyday, it's really nice being able to feel connected to your friends all the time. Easier to coordinate events as well.

Standards

While I was working on the art for the RIFT mobile app ~

Alice: What's up?
Kevin: Just coming by to take a look at your progress.
Alice: This is going to take a while. =(
Kevin: Yeah and you gotta make it better than the last two projects because of your standards.
Alice: Damn my standards!

14//Winter

Featuring Toby

The weather is cold outside! It's getting chilly and winter is fast approaching. For those of you who know me, I love winter because of the holidays and the fashion. ^_^ I love layering up with coats, boots, accessorizing with scarves, etc. This is my coworker Toby's way of relating to this topic. True story, as always. I have yet to see him wear his sexy cashmere Burberry scarf however.

Owl Shirts!

After some problems with the shipment, I finally got the shirts I ordered. I custom ordered guy and girl versions for people who had requested these. The guy's version is a monotone brown as you can see. The girl shirts are more colorful. If there are more requests I will order more, or think about submitting it to threadless or shirt site for people to order directly off of. These cost almost $20 per shirt (and what I'm charging) to make in production because of the color and tshirt type, so I'm not making profit off of these. I'm just doing it for fun. =) I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. The girl shirts are super soft and comfy!
