One of the best. Our industry needs you! I can't wait to see what you dig into in the new role!

You are my food hero!

Your marker work is impeccable, sir.

This drawing done in Procreate shows a comical cartoon take on a monster hunter character that is chronically online. The drawing itself is black chinky pencil and gray shading on gray paper. The text says happy birthday from chronically online monster Hunter, bro. A speech bubble says “It’s giving birthday! You are giving main character energy, so touch grass and skibidi bro, not even glazing.”

If you are my kid, you might get a weird birthday drawing.

“Kill them with freaking kindness.”

Now might be a good time for us humans to reassess how we decide which other humans on this planet are worth listening to.

Happy #NoKings Day.

Nvidia is reskinning games with AI. Gamers are angry about it, and wrong The company’s new DLSS 5 technology enhances game visuals to make them look more real, but some hardcore gamers are having none of it.

Tell me you don't understand what art direction is. Having your argument revolve around "Gamers just aren't used to having games look so good" is a wild approach. Ugh. www.fastcompany.com/91510549/nvi...

Love these so much!

It was a terrible experience just trying to FIND the right version.

One more note about the GW team. They were spectacular. A group of people who bought into a crazy vision and busted their butts to make it beautiful and legitimate. Sitting in Vancouver, in a building FIFA built, they were working on what seemed at the time a fever dream. I will forever tip my cap.

An ink drawing of a Foot Soldier zombie from the Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare games. He is shambling towards the camera, wearing his typical gear and holding his weapon. His expression could be considered "vacant."

An ink drawing of a Sunflower from the Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare games. They are standing upright with a lean and a goofy smile. There is also a drawing of the flower's side profile to the right of the main drawing.

An ink drawing of a Foot Soldier zombie from the Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare games. He is shambling to the left of the scene, wearing his uniform and carrying a rocket launcher on his back. He looks beaten up and frankly, really dumb.

An ink drawing of an Engineer Zombie and a Chomper Plant from the Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare games. The Chomper is biting the Engineer's pants from behind and pulling them back to expose the Engineer's bottom. The Engineer is desperately trying to get away, reaching for a couple of outstretched zombie hands.

I didn't escape with much behind the scenes work for GW, but I will post some beautiful ink drawings done by Taylor Krahenbuhl. Happy Birthday, GW.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Teaser Trailer - E3 2013 EA Conference YouTube video by IGN

During the E3 2013 EA Conference, we dropped a surprise teaser that was spoofing the powerful Battlefield imagery and sound. We needed to set the tone that this was legit, but we didn't take ourselves too seriously. Nobody knew what to think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUnc...

An image from the game Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, showing a Chomper plant bursting from the ground and getting ready to "chomp" a basic "Browncoat" zombie. The setting is a typical backyard, complete with picket fences, a pink flamingo, and a yard gnome.

An image from the game Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, showing a Bonk Choy plant sitting in a pot and punching a basic Browncoat zombie in the head. The zombie is recoiling from the impact. The setting is a suburban sidewalk, and you can see more zombies stumbling along in the background.

An image from the game Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, showing a zombie Foot Soldier and an All-Star (two classes in the game) running toward the camera with their weapons blazing. The setting is a typical suburban neighborhood, and there are additional basic zombies stumbling around in the background.

February 25, 29014, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare launched. It was an insane idea: Take one of the most beloved game IP's ever and make a third person shooter. Should have been a disaster. Should have been a cash-grab. But a talented, scrappy team ended up making it a passion project.

Share a TV show that raised you.

People who can draw horses are magic.

Gorgeous.

Here to add another vote for Kingdom Rush. Very solid, charming game with a bunch of sequels. Has he played the PvZ Garden Warfare games? Not completely TD but still very PvZ. GW2 is very likable.

It's all so overwhelming, but I assume that is the point. Gotta keep going and doing what we can. I am determined that this story has a different ending.

Absolutely beautiful! Love the subtlety and texture. Well done!

He is majestic.

One of the many things that have materialized thanks to the oppression and murder in Minnesota: A rock solid list of people who I would never hire, and frankly never agree to work with. People are really feeling comfortable being terrible humans online. We can see you, and will not forget.

A rough sketch showing a rowdy group of pirates looking out across an expanse at a giant treasure chest. The text "Go get the gold! Plunder and pillage" sits at the top of the image, and there is a green "GO" button in the lower right corner.

A rough sketch showing a concerned group of pirates looking out over their fort wall and across an expanse at an incoming horde of enemy pirates. The text "Pirates Ahoy!" sits at the top of the image, and there is more text on the right that says "Shiver me timbers! Pirates Attacking! We sent our crew after gold, but we are under siege! Now you must defend your treasure." There is a "DEFEND!" button in the lower right corner.

This rough mock-up shows an idea for a simple game mode selection screen, from a never-made pirate game. On the left is an image representing single player mode, and on the right one representing multiplayer mode.

A rough sketch mock-up of a title card for a mobile game idea. This sketch shows a large pirate flag in the center, housing the title "Pirate Rush." There is a skull and crossbones on the flag as well. At the bottom of the flag, there are silhouettes of two teams of pirates running at each other from each side of the image. There is a play button at the bottom center of the screen.

Cleaning out an old drive, and I found these quick sketches I did forever ago to show off a little pirate game idea.

Right. It was not Dan. I wish it had been though! Dan is awesome. I really liked the work that Russel had done on Minions, and I do think he did a good job on Zomboss… just not a fan of him anymore.

Ha. I figured you would ask me that. It’s a long story, but we never really shared who did the voice because we didn’t have enough money in our budget to afford using his name. Weird, I know. It later came out online that it was Russel Brand.

I do. I was there. I directed his performance. 📢🤓🪄

I appreciate you asking me this question. I WISH that was me, playing Dr. Zomboss… but no it isn’t me. I directed the actor doing the VO, and it was a wild session as you might imagine. Good memories.

OMG this brings back so many memories. I grew up terrified of Wookalars!

Dude, you've never ripped a pit? Or pitted a rip? Phllrrrbt!
