It took more than two years and I created almost 200 paintings and designs in the process. It was a great honour to work with so many talented people in both the Montreal and San Francisco studios. Special thanks to the Art Director Alex Muscat, Creative Director Ian Milham, Production Designer Ben Wanat, and our fearless leader Steve Papoutsis. FLOTILLA When designing the Flotilla for Dead Space 3, we had to make sure that the design would resonate with our ideas of the past by touching our sense of nostalgia and vintage ideas and methods of construction while still maintaining a feeling of the future. Many of the ship interiors use engineering principals from World War II vessels but with modernist design to create a feeling for this "future past." In contrast, the Eurdora designs had to be cutting edge - by using clean shapes and ultra-modern motifs, it nicely contrasts the approaching Flotilla graveyard. <img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok060111_airlockS_800.jpg" width="800" height="433" width_o="1000" height_o="542" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok060111_airlockS_o.jpg" data-mid="26239987" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_041311_800.jpg" width="800" height="426" width_o="2048" height_o="1092" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_041311_o.jpg" data-mid="26208453" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_041811_800.jpg" width="800" height="396" width_o="2048" height_o="1016" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_041811_o.jpg" data-mid="26208454" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok050411_800.jpg" width="800" height="426" width_o="2048" height_o="1092" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok050411_o.jpg" data-mid="26208475" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok050611_800.jpg" width="800" height="381" width_o="2048" height_o="975" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok050611_o.jpg" data-mid="26208478" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/Eudora_Hall_800.jpg" width="800" height="360" width_o="1000" height_o="450" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/Eudora_Hall_o.jpg" data-mid="26290980" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/Eudora_KITCHEN_COMMON_ROOM_800.jpg" width="800" height="371" width_o="1000" height_o="464" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/Eudora_KITCHEN_COMMON_ROOM_o.jpg" data-mid="26291031" border="0" align="left"/> TAU VOLANTIS A major portion of Dead Space 3 takes place on a barren snow planet call Tau Volantis. This is really the fist time we are stepping outside of the spaceships for an extended period of time in the Dead Space universe. The frozen planet creates a new antagonist for the player, now battling the elements to stay alive. It was important for the planet to feel both alien and natural in its design - it should be unfamiliar to the player in terms of its terrain, but provide some sense the player can relate to for the player to truly feel the threat of the elements. <img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ice_wall_800.jpg" width="800" height="436" width_o="1000" height_o="545" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ice_wall_o.jpg" data-mid="26246315" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/Moutain_rappelS_800.jpg" width="800" height="385" width_o="1000" height_o="482" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/Moutain_rappelS_o.jpg" data-mid="26240087" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_canyonstart_800.jpg" width="800" height="392" width_o="1915" height_o="940" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_canyonstart_o.jpg" data-mid="26208530" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/disposal_cavern_exteriorS_800.jpg" width="800" height="368" width_o="1000" height_o="461" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/disposal_cavern_exteriorS_o.jpg" data-mid="26240272" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_waystation_extback_800.jpg" width="800" height="413" width_o="2048" height_o="1059" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_waystation_extback_o.jpg" data-mid="26208567" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_waystation_ext_800.jpg" width="800" height="341" width_o="2048" height_o="872" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_waystation_ext_o.jpg" data-mid="26208556" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_mess_bunker_800.jpg" width="800" height="449" width_o="2048" height_o="1150" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_mess_bunker_o.jpg" data-mid="26208532" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_Radio_roomb_800.jpg" width="800" height="410" width_o="1800" height_o="924" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ok_Radio_roomb_o.jpg" data-mid="26208589" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/pipecross_highgroundS_800.jpg" width="800" height="408" width_o="1000" height_o="510" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/pipecross_highgroundS_o.jpg" data-mid="26239646" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/pipecross_endS_800.jpg" width="800" height="459" width_o="1000" height_o="574" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/pipecross_endS_o.jpg" data-mid="26239643" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/pipeline_garageS_800.jpg" width="800" height="450" width_o="1000" height_o="563" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/pipeline_garageS_o.jpg" data-mid="26239650" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/pipelinelandingS_800.jpg" width="800" height="450" width_o="1000" height_o="563" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/pipelinelandingS_o.jpg" data-mid="26239653" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/rappelS_800.jpg" width="800" height="416" width_o="1000" height_o="520" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/rappelS_o.jpg" data-mid="26239785" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/cliff_800.jpg" width="800" height="250" width_o="2048" height_o="641" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/cliff_o.jpg" data-mid="26207288" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/cliff_snowV2_800.jpg" width="800" height="250" width_o="2048" height_o="641" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/cliff_snowV2_o.jpg" data-mid="26207285" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/cliff_blizzard_800.jpg" width="800" height="250" width_o="2048" height_o="641" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/cliff_blizzard_o.jpg" data-mid="26207283" border="0" align="left"/> PENG AND POSTERS Around the time I was getting sick of painting concepts for hallways and snow-ravaged structures, we began creating in-game culture. This time around, I got to take a crack at doing the PENG imagery in the game. The first set of PENG images were styled as vintage pinups that can be found throughout the game - again adding to the nostalgia - while the other PENG ads exist in the game's present day and so have a much more futuristic style. The Egov posters were a great opportunity to convey the political crises that exist in the Dead Space universe. Egov represents the smiley corporation that has ruined the society and the graffiti we see on the posters represent the fragments of society pushing back against the corporation's actions and influence. <img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/PENG1_1600x1200_800.jpg" width="800" height="600" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/PENG1_1600x1200_o.jpg" data-mid="26208058" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/PENG2_1600x1200_800.jpg" width="800" height="600" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/PENG2_1600x1200_o.jpg" data-mid="26208063" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/PENG3_1600x1200_800.jpg" width="800" height="600" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/PENG3_1600x1200_o.jpg" data-mid="26208067" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/PENG4_1600x1200_800.jpg" width="800" height="600" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/PENG4_1600x1200_o.jpg" data-mid="26208073" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/peng_moonsmall_800.jpg" width="800" height="266" width_o="2000" height_o="667" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/peng_moonsmall_o.jpg" data-mid="26208317" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ds3-egov_800.jpg" width="798" height="396" width_o="798" height_o="396" src_o="http://payload130.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/4900326/ds3-egov_o.jpg" data-mid="26331567" border="0" align="left"/> Dead Space 3 was one of the longest and most involved productions I have ever worked on.

PATRICK O'KEEFE Welcome to my new site and blog, check out the galleries to left, and follow me on the twitter machine @theOKartist , enjoy. --ok. 14.05.13 Oblivion + About a year ago I was approached to do some layouts for posters and promotional art for a few films that have or will be coming out in the next year, Rise of the Guardians was the first (see below, like way below) and Oblivion (right below) was next. For each project I was given some production art and asked to make compelling comps that would then later get developed. These two were my favourite, I think I have seen one of these in a different format floating around the internet... <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/ob_1000_800.jpg" width="800" height="662" width_o="1000" height_o="828" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/ob_1000_o.jpg" data-mid="30288276" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/ob2_800.jpg" width="800" height="420" width_o="1000" height_o="525" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/ob2_o.jpg" data-mid="30311503" border="0" align="left"/> 15.04.13 a new piece on an old idea <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/04_13_13_800.jpg" width="800" height="324" width_o="1000" height_o="406" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/04_13_13_o.jpg" data-mid="29155004" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/04_14_13_800.jpg" width="800" height="324" width_o="1000" height_o="406" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/04_14_13_o.jpg" data-mid="29190485" border="0" align="left"/> trying to simplify my approach and having fun exploring an old idea i had. 26.03.13 a landscape <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/landscape sky_800.jpg" width="800" height="345" width_o="1016" height_o="439" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/landscape sky_o.jpg" data-mid="28333903" border="0" align="left"/> nothing else to say really... 05.02.13 Dead Space 3 in stores + With the launch of Dead Space 3 last night I can finally present the body of work that took over 2 years to make and resulted in almost 200 paintings and designs. click on the image below or the link in the side bar and please enjoy. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/titlecard_800_800.jpg" width="800" height="146" width_o="800" height_o="146" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/titlecard_800_o.jpg" data-mid="26331794" border="0" align="left"/> 03.02.13 Society 6 prints + I joined with online print shop Society 6 to make my prints available for purchase.

The trailer for Dead Space 3 dropped today at E3. it has a decent slice of the look of the game, but there is so much more to it than this. I have spent the better part of the last year doing concept development for this and i could not be happier with how it is looking. the full game does not come out until Feb 2013, so this will have to do for now. 18.05.12 Rakim Allah. I had a chance to meet a legend and a personal inspiration, Rakim, at a show in Montreal.

MU teamed up with the borough, SODER, Caisses Desjardins, and éco-quartiers, recruiting eight artists to inject the neighbourhood's back alleys with a healthy dose of colour and imagination for their Ruelle Verte ("green alley") campaign, reinforcing the links between art and the environment. These alleys are a popular place to play, and we asked the kids hanging around to make the mural their own by choosing a sticker of their first initial to incorporate into the mural of some typical Montreal characters on bikes. We got the kids involved, but you can't make everyone happy. You'll notice a wardrobe upgrade on one of the characters; a local parent didn't like the idea of a girl riding a bike in a swimsuit. Check out some of the progress shots in the slideshow. bam! <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu001.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu001_o.jpg" data-mid="10995254" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu002.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu002_o.jpg" data-mid="10995250" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu003.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu003_o.jpg" data-mid="10995249" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu004.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu004_o.jpg" data-mid="10995247" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu005.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu005_o.jpg" data-mid="10995245" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu006.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu006_o.jpg" data-mid="10995244" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu007.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu007_o.jpg" data-mid="10995236" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu008.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu008_o.jpg" data-mid="10995233" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu009.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu009_o.jpg" data-mid="10995226" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu010.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/mu010_o.jpg" data-mid="10995223" border="0" align="left"/> -B for P 10.24.11 Gazette feature <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/5592977.jpg" width="562" height="400" width_o="562" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/152695/2044610/5592977_o.jpg" data-mid="10981597" border="0" align="left"/> A process photo from this weekend's mural with the MU Project in Montreal, this photo was taken from the Montreal Gazette.
