Looks cool, but his un-resizable pop-ups open at 100 pixels by 100 pixels in firefox, which makes examining them impossible. Man, it is just not my night.

There must be a law that states that the better the images, the shittier the site usability.
And these are cool images.

Dammit, you'd think firefox would let you resize any of its windows. Is there a plugin?

They seem to be doing something similar in IE, then resizing, though occasionaly whatever it is breaks.

Mm, I read the bldgblog interview yesterday. He's an art designer for Guild Wars, right? Does GW actually look this cool? 'Cause if so I might start playing.

I was about to post something like "Nice pictures. Assy site."
Glad I don't have to.

They all look a bit like progressive rock album covers from the mid 70s to me.

I've never played it, but the one with the scaffolding appears to be an in-game shot. I'd love to hear from people who've played the game whether it looks this good and whether it's architecturally interesting.

Guild Wars does look about this cool, but not this sketchy, which is sort of a shame. You do get to see these images during loading screens, though.

Nitpick: "Game developer" (in this case, Art Director) is not the same thing as "Game Designer".
Nevertheless, this is beautiful work.

Looks similar to some of Craig Mullins' work. Unfortunately it looks like his website has been redesigned and there's only one gallery posted.

That's the first thing it reminded me of, as well. Great use of lighting, and all.
I would link to Archive.org's copy of Mullins' old site, but the coverage seems very spotty and more trouble than it's worth to navigate. There is a hi-res collection of his commercial work for Halo, though, at halo.bungie.org. There is also a gallery of his Marathon art at HBO's sister site, marathon.bungie.org.

Dude, draw a bowl of fruit or something.
Seriously though, these are some great postage stamps.

Actually Firefox 3b5 let me resize them without a problem (full screen). This Flickr set has some of his work in a larger size, for those people having browser issues.
