A bag of rats.


In 97 and 98 I did some work at Ratbag Games, (who were named Emergent Software when I started) who were working on a car racing game named Powerslide, there was a fair amount of merriment to be had about the place, and much silliness. Anyhow I had 2 weeks there where I was the envy of quite a few friends as I was being paid to design graffiti. I had to do plenty of other stuff there too, but for that 2 week block I made up some designs, coloured them, and then made them gritty so they could be used as in game texture maps. I don’t have any of the finished colour work, but here is some of the pen work before clean up.


Powerslide


Shwopshire. Now there's a funny story involving squirrels, a butcher and Shropshire that I must remember to add once I'm up to date.


Swine. For the words chosen I tried to use the Alias's of as many of the people working on the game as I could, or office gags.


Wabbit.


Napalm



Mighty Boot.


Git. N. Jiggy.


Munchie


Grimey. Er just a blockie, but you know, some variety is needed.
