So here's three shots taken in-game wayyy back in 2005 running a version of the

2.5-3 engine. The idea was to design an abandoned Forerunner "living space" with courtyard, and fallen into disrepair.
@Dr_Abominable
made the original structures and I modified, added entropy.
Hi all! Thrilled to say I’ve joined the mighty talented peeps at Studio Wildcard in a creative exec leadership role. I’ll be directing one of my all-time favorite franchises - ARK!
Massive alien worlds, hundreds of dinos, and the legendary badass

Hi all! Exciting news- I’ve started a new chapter in my career with the Disney family at Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light and Magic as Virtual Art Department Lead.
I’ll be at the studio behind the Star Wars Stagecraft group that made The Mandalorian.
Add 'surviving the ARK' and 'uncovering an island's mysteries' to your upcoming plans 🦖
ARK: Survival Ascended is coming soon: |

In case y'all were wondering what's been going on over in Vic Land... yes, it's real. Yes we've been saving it up for last minute. Yes the team is still hard at work. ❤️

A hearty bravo to the best creature team ever! We spent a long time on this Anky, mad props to Catherine Rokitka, Clayton D’mello and Jesus Conde!
Can’t wait for y’all to see this in-game.

1/ HEY HALO FRIENDS! I will post a NEVER-BEFORE SEEN

screenshot of an old test level that was cut in development. Hint: It's a Forerunner space, and it's uh, odd. BUT FIRST I need you all to do something if you can...

Hiya Joe! I’ve reached out to my old friends at 343, but if you know anyone - or if anyone reads this, come work on Ark2! DM me!
A modder redid one of my old Halo2 MP maps that never shipped: Anchor Point. Takes place in a ramshackle assemblage of debris under the gas giant facility and was meant to look like a splinter Heretic outpost. Bilateral symmetry, center chokepoint, Banshee combat, eh. wasn't fun!
It's
#Blocktober
and I dug up some old

block outs for the backwoods pioneer camp (Winter Contingency mission). So many ugly rocks back then, we weren't allowed to use Zbrush or Mudbox ughhhhh. Still, thought you'd get a laugh.

I lost another good friend and colleague to Covid today. He was 44 years young, and very fit and healthy. No funeral. No flowers. No way to properly mourn. This shit is getting to me.

Ok to clarify, this "surprise" has NOTHING to do with Halo Infinite. I'm helping with a food drive and raising awareness and in return I will post a never-before screenshot of an old test level that never saw the light of day. Details incoming!

Fwiw this is almost exactly what the Guardians looked like back when they were first imagined on Halo 2, only they were much larger, almost like the Strato-Sentinel.
I lost my father to cancer this week and it’s now an unrelenting sadness. He was a role model to us all. This Saint Éxupéry quote is comforting: "He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.”
The sphincter door from Halo 3 can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with.
And it absolutely will not stop, ever... until you are inside of it.
I'm sorry for this appearing on your timeline, but i was pretty happy with how this turned out for a quick wip pass on sculpting / running through substance and connecting up to my rig. SSS looks gnarly and gross in the best way when there's lights near / around it. Needs more
Hey concept art friends! I'm looking to hire a full-time, remote-ok Senior Concept Artist with solid experience in film or games to help my team on Ark2. Holler at me!
Hey Concept Art friends! I’m looking to fill a contract role for a Senior 2D Concept Artist that’s mechanically inclined and intimately familiar with hard surface vis-dev. Slide into my DM’s 😎

So I spent the morning thinking about your Warthog redo and I felt compelled to start my own for no reason other than an homage to my old Art Director. Should I keep going?

I remember your first days at Bungie and how excited we all were when we saw this first piece. I was so worried about how we were going to pull this off and I drove Marcus crazy with the vegetation and overdraw, alpha sorting, etc. Fun times!

Took me a week for the terrain geo in this first bsp, and most of that time was spent on the impact crater. Then Marcus imported the 3D files and stayed up for three nights fine-tuning that beautiful little crater and the muddy water seeping up from underneath ❤️
Had a surreal moment realizing that the last 3 big franchises I've worked on have their own shows now ...which also JUST PROVES just how many shows are being made, NBD -and also I'm nobody special😭
Ok so do something cool. I was a huge HaloCE fan, and early 2002 I made a little mod in UT2K3 with my own map and a half-assed Warthog. This was one of the things that got me a job on

Hi I’m Vic DeLeon, he/him, wacky art person, hardcore science nerd, lifelong goth, and ally to the underrepresented. I’m the Studio Art Director on the ARK franchise, and these are my many faces my teammates have to see everyday:

They have blacklisted many R-rated words, and even more common benign words like organ, vein, bloody, etc. I’m certain they can implement the same for a list of artist names.

. Get your first look at the legendary hero in a thrilling new Slipspace Engine demo that provides a glimpse into the future of the franchise.

Hopefully everyone is having a great time with the new system building! If you have any feedback about building let me know because we do want to keep improving it! Here's a fun little pirate build I built!

I’m no beacon of light myself, but I’m trying to be a good person. I’m doing what I can to stay sane in these crazy times. My advice to the kids in the community: Pick your friends better. Don’t tolerate the company of fools, shitposters, and trolls.
@Dr_Abominable
We called it Forerunner Condo. I called it Cuesta Verde phase 4. The fiction behind it was a supposed housing complex for Forerunner scientists living on the ring. Maybe for the Librarian's team? I don't really remember. Maybe
@Dr_Abominable
or
@joestaten
know...
I’ve spent decades making and playing Halo with this little community. We all know each other and can identify a racist even when they don’t overtly use slurs.
LOL I can't talk about Ark yet, or Halo anymore, so all I have left is mental health advocacy, human rights, and weird fish.
LET ME HAVE THE ALIENS please!
@fullbright
Omg I don’t even know where to start. I broke all the Flood bits in Halo 2 the night before lockdown, all because I was trying to fix these stupid things
