He seems to have left now though.

[Flouride]

Noo :/

[WorstUsernameEver]

Loved his art direction in DS3/the NWN2 expansions, and his concept art in general, I was following his Tumblr too... really sad to see him go

[Starwars]

Best of luck, what a bummer it's been to see so many people go.

[HoonDing]

This really sucks. It seems he was with Obsidian from the very beginning, too.

Today is the Bad News Day...

 

How many employees are there currently at Obsidian?

[PoetAndMadman]

I loved his art style, sad day indeed..

:sadface:

 

Hey, what else can I say? I know it's not always a bad thing for a company to restructure itself and concentrate on its core competencies but all that talent bleeding is worrying me.

This is what I was talking about. People just leaving and none coiming in. The concrete decline of my favorite gamedeveloper. I mean... ****. What happens next, where does all this lead to with nothing positive to counter this? It's just, sad.

Well that's good news for a change

[WorstUsernameEver]

Not a fan of his character artwork to be honest. Environments and props look good, if maybe a tad too over-designed when it comes to props and weapons, but then again, a lot of those come from Hunted and I think the direction was pretty much that. We'll see, I guess. Good that at least they hired another art director after Cherry left, if nothing else, hope they'll manage to sign a contract soon. Curious that he came from inXile.

It was Rob Nesler that headed up our wine and cheese day last week.

[Sannom]

Curious that he came from inXile.

 

Fargo : "Can we have Chris?"

Feargus : "Which one? That's three-fifth of the board."

Fargo : "Avellone."

Feargus : "Who would you give in exchange?"
