Getting published

when i first started doing the BFBC2 comics, it was just for fun as i love the PS3 beta and just couldn’t get my hands off it. in fact it took quite a chunk off my attention, and i use it to get my mind off writing my thesis. at least it eases the tension off a bit.

i didn’t expect the kind of reception it got in the following weeks. people have been asking – no – demanding for more, so occasionally when i have the time i would sit down and scribble a new comic. it was given the honours when DICE themselves recognize the game and featured it on the battlefield blog. i was ecstatic.

then it immediately got the attention of a wider audience, which i am more than grateful for. a russian gaming magazine, gameland.ru, contacted me for publication rights. i traded in publicity and promotion in exchange for the publication rights. this is the first time the comics have been featured on printed media.

The Rage is ON!

it’s the 2nd of march. BFBC2 has now been officially released in the US. it will only be available in europe on the 4th, while the UK and the rest of the world on the 5th. for a full 3 days now, the world will rage against the US. strike that, against DICE lol.

today’s the day…

i woke up on sunday morning with thick snow and a message from DICE_Pirelli. he suggested a story for the comics. i’ve already got two in the production pipeline, so i thought, sure. i read it and i laughed out loud. it’s simple and brilliant. so i quickly put this before the others and finished it off. i hope i managed to capture the essence of the humor like the several lines of text DICE_Pirelli sent me .

you can read the rest of the comics here.

BFBC2: Comics

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:37:18 +0000

Here’s a couple of comics inspired by the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 game. I was involved as a beta tester on the PS3, and I’d have to say if you liked BFBC1, you’re gonna love this. All are done digitally using a Wacom tablet and Painter 10.5 with a bit of CorelDraw and Photoshop. Best part is, it’s now been given an official nod from the developers themselves! Thanks DICE EA!
