Running With Scissors - Postal III

...gettin' my game on.
Early in 2007 I signed on to work with game company "Running With Scissors" as a concept artist. They started me off creating unique NPC's (Non-Player Characters) which was super fun since I had free reign to add as many little jokes as I could slap on them. 150 characters later my new job was "americanizing" in-game textures. Much of this meant correcting any spelling errors I found and replacing stand in textures but again I was given free reign to make em funny as possible. After that it was on to "Limited Animation" cutscenes, loading screens, merchandising, and advertising. It was unfortunate that funding wasn't there for us to continue and there were alot of hardships RWS had to deal with, but to me it was a pretty awesome introduction to the world of video game creation....that and seeing your artwork on something is pretty damn addictive.
Did you know?: "Uncle Dave's" updated character was originally based on Doug Stanhope. In an earlier version of Postal III there was to be a comedy club (ala GTA IV) that was supposed to have acts like Doug. Sadly this was axed due to budget constraints including an attempt to put Doug Stanhope in as "Uncle Dave." So I ended up modifying him to look like the Big Lebowski ("the Dude" uncle of the "Postal Dude"...dumb joke but I went there, heh)
