I have been very, very lazy with my blog recently.

So much so that I haven’t even posted about some pretty big massive news about my new (umm what’s the word?) working situation?

Well, first off I’m not working at Jagex anymore.

No more Runescape, no more Friday Pub lunch with fellow Concept Artists and Art Director, no more amazing training days to London museums.

I had an amazingly good time at Jagex, and the people there are the best bunch I’ve ever worked with, I’ll truly miss a whole lot of them.

I know, people often say that when they leave a workplace, but I did leave some good friends behind, so it was quite tough to go away.

Good luck mates, I’m sure I’ll see some of you around (no really, this industry is ridiculously small, I met four ex-colleagues at the new job. I’m bound to work again with someone from Jagex at some point).

On the other hand, after more than four years on the same project and little more, I really needed a breath of fresh air, which is why I’m also very happy to work at Sumo now, on Little Big Planet.

I have just started, so it will be a long time before I will be able to post anything of what I’m doing here.

Plus, it’s also taking quite some time and effort to adapt to a completely new game, so well, don’t hold your breath for that.

Luckily, while clearing my machine the day I left, I found a whole bunch of Concepts I made for Runescape that I had neglected to share.

So it looks like I will have some material to post for the next few weeks (more about my recent laziness in my next post).

These three guys below are, as anyone can see, mummies.

 

 

 

I have no memory of where and when they were plugged into the game, if I remember correctly they were part of a big update, but for one reason or another they didn’t manage to go live for quite some time.

This is what one the old Mummies looked like, just so you know.

Modellers at Jagex did an amazing job translating the new mummies in 3D, but what made me jump up and down with joy were the animations.

Unfortunately I can’t find anything on the internet to link. If you happen to come across the new mummies with their animations give me a shout.

That’s all I have for now, I’ll post some more Runescape stuff in the near future.
