art deco pillar

as some of you know, I absolutely adore video games. I have ever since I bought a PlayStation with the money I got from my first paper route.

to me video gaming is an extension of animation in every way and recently, video games have been outpacing cinema in innovative storytelling and awe inspiring visuals. Because there are no limitations on what can be done when everything has to be modeled in 3D and no body is expecting photo-realism, video games have taken chances that would never be considered possible in movies.

in fact, the only place that you find the same dedication to original thinking in entertainment today, is in TV, with shows like “game of thrones” leading the charge.

you might be wondering what this mini rant has to do with the art-deco pillar you see above, the answer is easy. I want to become part of that world. I want to create video games and since I suck at programming and don’t have money to fund, I am trying desperately to become part of the visual department on these games.

So what you see above is a concept for a pillar that would hold up the roof in a fancy office in Manhattan circa 1946.
