Re: Ian? Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Hmm, looks like it. Here's the entry: www.machall.com wrote:  Well, thanks to the courteous pointing out of an opening from Nick [Nick Popovich, aka Lindworm] I am now an art monkey for Three Ring Design. That's right, I'm now industry. When I started the comic I was a little disheartened by the state of the video game industry. I had just seen my ideal company, Bungie, fall from its indy home to a corporation. In the long run it was good for them, but my vision of a small group of people working on creative titles in a casual atmosphere was gone. I think I found what I was looking for in Three Rings. When I visited in May, I got to see a friendly environment populated by a tight team working on a project they cared about. When I came back from the interview I knew this is what I wanted. A place I can get my creative energies out while supporting my life and still not becoming Artist #336 texturing another God-damn Madden game. The comic will continue. The comic will continue. I mean after this last year of work load and illness the only way it could get worse is stopping all together. And as I said when I started, as long as it's fun I'll keep drawing. Last I checked this shit still amuses me. Best part of San Fran.: trenchcoat weather... year round. ---------------------------------------- Epimetheus Retired

Re: Ian? Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Saw it last night and jawdropped during our D&D game. That's awesome. I have loved the work on the comic, as well as the MOG*MOD that he worked on for Morrowind. Considering what weve seen in his art, I think he would fit right in. =3 ---------------------------------------- Toji - Captain of "The Depths" Obaba - Fleet Officer and Muse of "Le Freccette" YPP Comic- The Depths of Midnight Avvie by Pogo

Re: Ian? Reply to this Post Reply with Quote The last one won't load for me.

I mean, I know the piano was around in piratey times, but...it was not something you'd find all over the place. Now, out west you had all those player pianos (though they didn't look like these...) Definitely not made for Bang! Howdy. Notice the angles of the harpsichord, and the four directions. It simply looks like it should fit in. Go to the Bang! Howdy website, and look at the screenies. They look nothing like PP, and there's nothing there a harpsichord would fit into. Edit: It's not a piano. It's a harpsichord.
