Video Game Projects

Someone asked me what work I have done for Sega and Konami in the past. So here today on NINJA RAGE is some rey-tro concept art for video game companies:

1. Jet Grind Radio (2006, Kuju/Sega, proposed game for the Wii)











I even got to make up my own rival gang:



2. Castlevania (2006, P51/Konami, cartoon pitch)







Castlevania was actually for a proposed cartoon show, again thru a 3rd party developer. I got to meet the Castlevania creator at SDCC 06. It was sweet.

Unfortunately, the JGR pitch didn't take. I'm unsure of the Castlevania show's development, but I think it's still out there. Unsure if they're still using my designs or not, but I really enjoy my designs on both sets.

Teeth-Ninjas / Nife

NEW ART:
Teeth-Ninjas



Another T-shirt design for Design By Humans. This one is very wacky. I had the idea to make a "Teeth-Shirt" for a very long time, and after drawing the initial teeth, I decided the drawing needed some ninjas. Voting for the shirt is going on now, right here.

REY-TRO ART:
Nife 2 2 2 2



One of the first drawings for Sharknife. I guess Ceasar originally had black hair! And Chieko was blonde? Something.

JENREY & Hugz

In these troubled times, it's getting harder and harder to locate quality Corey Lewis the Rey artwork. This art-blog, Ninja Rage, was created to answer that very need.

I will be posting NEW ART with commentary on this blog, as well as retro Rey-art (or "Reytro" art) to pay respects to the annals of history.

JENREY (3/6/08)

I just drew this like ten minutes ago. It's a self-portrait, with a former girlfriend whom I still cherish... Her style is amazing, and inspired much of the look of this drawing. I love this style. I just thought to myself, "If I could draw a comic of characters just floating with bursting energy as the background, I would.", and maybe I will.

REYTRO: Hugz (9/03)

This was drawn while at work as a busboy at an italian restaurant called "Spiro's" (much of the inspiration for the Guangdong Factory emerged from here). Drawn over a picture on a piece of newspaper, this is one of the first drawings of Aves Ives, zombie rocker and kickball warrior.
