Emergency Heroes details finally surface

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 31, 2008, 3:33 AM

:iconsallow: has sent me word (and some links with early coverage of the game. See below) that the gradual press roll out for Emergency Heroes has begun so I can now reveal a little info. I'm not cleared to post any of the artwork yet personally though so that will show up later once I can. I mentioned in earlier posts that I was working on a Nintendo Wii title for Ubisoft. I had also invited :icongenocidalpenguin: in to assist me on some of the character work for a batch of "badguys" that we both worked on together (I especially liked the Madmax-ian hockey mask fellow Karl came up with). The game, aimed more for a younger demo, was developed by Ubisoft U.K. (formerly Reflections Interactive) and it's a futuristic driving themed game where you get to drive rescue, fire, and police vehicles. There's a lot of really cool rides in the game, least what I had seen, but my involvement was doing character design only. I did well over 100 various in-game character head shots with some characters have 2 or more expressions. I also did some character art that is in the menus and extras for the game. It was a blast working on the project under the direction of the talented illustrator :iconsallow: (Paul Gerrard) as he was in charge of directing the project's look and he made the process run very smoothly. Although none of his Ubisoft work is posted yet either by all means take a look at his gallery, it's rather trippy and gorgeous surrealist work. Also I want to add, as of today April 1st (and not April fools) Paul has posted his own journal on DA about the game with his own words and reflections on working on the game so please give it a look. And my thanks to Paul for the kind words in the posting, I feel the same of working with him and his own unique imagination and works (his Butterfly soldiers [link] project is quite a fantastic world and wholly his own).

Gamestop's listing for the game: [link]
The game is showing up on sites like Amazon as well so it will be easy to find from what I can see.


The game is going to street sometime in June... I think. once I have more concrete info I'll post it. I expect when the real rollout begins there will be screencaps and such at the usual game sites. I hope folks dig it and support the game as a sequel is planned if it does well. Thanks for looking :)

34,000 hits just as I type this today. Again I can't thank everyone enough for your support, visits, favs, and watches. I appreciate it and will be brining a great deal of new material for everyone to enjoy as the months press on. As I mentioned in a few earlier posts there is a building flood of new Theos stuff soon to break the dam. It is coming I just keep creating new stuff so I have a lot of things I'm working on. The Besh & Gunne Deco vehicle is just the tip of the ice burg :) Have a fab week folks and keep creating and inspiring one another.

Greetings and salutations! :wave:

This generic notice has been submitted to your personal community message board on account of your having exhibited an enviable flare for artistic delivery through use of your gallery space, in conjunction with a presumed affinity (to a certain degree) with the enduring Transformers franchise. :nod: As one might credibly discern from my elected pseudonym, I am something of an unabashed Transfan, myself! :love:

So why the impromptu dissertation, you might well ask? :aww: Simply put, I am seeking to make new acquaintances, through the basis of common interest. ;) With the protracted Hollywood Writer's Strike™ now reportedly brought to an acceptable resolution, production on the Dreamworks picture, "Transformers 2", seems good to go. :boogie: Whether this is a good thing or not, however, remains to be seen... :confused: Which would bring me to my primary contention: upon its much-anticipated theatrical release, I (foolhardily?) instigated a quasi-official discussion thread with regard to public impressions of Michael Bay's take on this beloved premise. :D The forum in question can be conveniently found here: [link]

Please rest assured that one needn't feel compelled to digest the entirety of my long-winded review (I do admittedly comport a tendency to WAFFLE...!). :blahblah: Rather, I'd just like to hear what you may have thought of "Transformers" (the movie, the mythos, the merchandising), what you might conceivably be expecting of "Transformers 2" (hopes, fears, rumours), hell, even just what you might happen to think of "Transformers: Animated", for that matter! :lol: The topic is open of interpretation (within reason), so feel free to swing by and have your say. :ahoy:

Hope to hear from you soon! :excited:

Thank you very much for the kind words. I wish I could comment more but I find myself with less and less time to do so. I do try to comment when I can as I feel it's more personable to do so.

Cheers!
