Redd Oktober Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 That's right. As some of ye might know, Redd be a concept artist at a video game company called Backbone Entertainment. I created a character that is being much talked about of late - Death Jr.! So far, the game is the only original title being released on SONY's new game platform - the portable PSP. Just do a Google search on Death Jr. and PSP, and you'll probably find info on it. The joke around the office is that I'm Death Sr. Anyhow....they're planning (now keep in mind...it's still in development hell...which means it may never see the light of day) to make a movie based on the game! Already! Well...they put an article out in the June 14-20 issue of Variety Magazine about the company heading up the movie and the game itself...and there...smack dab in the middle of it, is one of my earliest thumbnails of the little bonehead. I have done better sketches...but I'm proud nonetheless...here's a thumbnail of it....(if the image doesn't show up...that means Villagephotos has been overused...so please keep checking!) If'n ye wants ter see a full article...just PM me (or email me, as I tend to not clean out my PM box as much as I should) and I'll send ye a nicer copy. Just excited and wanted to share! ....OH YEAH! Did I mention there's a comic book? Drawn by Ted Naifehof Courtney Crumrin fame...the comic is going to be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con! I will not be there (my wedding anniversary is that weekend)...but say "hi" to Ted and his co-conspiritor Terri Selting if'n you see them! YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
