This is actually good timing, considering the next expansion's going to be pretty much all Zerg, all the time--and all the Zerg "briefing rooms", characters, locations, ships, special units, etc are going to take massive amounts of designing and concepting. Having Mr. Jack on the team to help get some of that out is definitely good.

I'm not someone who generally has much of a problem with Blizzard's art style and Samwise's work...but it's still great to see someone with this much talent and enthusiasm get onboard the SC2 art team. Happy sailing, dude!

but at least hes getting paid CHA CHING


You do know they are making 2 more games for sc2 after this right?

I always enjoy it when people like you are banned before I even read your posts. I have no idea why people are saying that it is late for Blizzard to be picking up Mr Jack. Starcraft 2 is not even in beta yet. Anyway ten bucks says that we see Mr Jacks zerg artwork in the manual.

+1

That was totally great when I read his post, and then saw he was banned.

On topic: This is fucking awesome. He totally deserved to get hired by Blizz.

Cheers, Mr. Jack

I bet hes going to do some concept art for Diablo 3 as well. In my opinion his art style fits diablo 3 a bit more then starcraft although his starcraft work is top notch and very good (that means his d3 artwork will be even better!).

"ShaperofDreams February 17, 2009 09:24 Thread: MrJack Zerg Artwork Direct Link

MrJack apply as a concept artist for blizzard. You have qualifications for that, just show them a portfolio similar to what you have shown us and you are insta-hired. its not as hard as you think, i have respect for Samwise but he isn't anything special, he got hired by blizzard when they were tiny and working on simple 2d games."

"ShaperofDreams February 17, 2009 11:53 Thread: MrJack Zerg Artwork Direct Link

My father is a senior concept artist for Radical Ent., sister company of blizzard, MrJack's stuff is fine, he may have to get a little familiar with Maya so he can communicate with them, as long as he is creative and he can create skillfully (which he has proven) he'll be fine."

Awesome job Jack I wish you the best of luck!

You on crack? Yes theres 2 more expansions. But as he said.. the NEXT expansion is the Zerg expansion so it is good timing.

Ah to be young and niave. I too remember when I thought the beta was right around the corner. Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Sure they do. Ever seen a game manual before? For most, not only cover page has art, art is inserted randomly at various points to make it pretty and less walls of text.
