Hugo Martin | Art Director, Id Software

A concept artist for the Jaegers on Pacific Rim and now Art Director at id Software, Hugo will give a presentation of the work he created during the making of the film.

Ok, so we don’t get to have a peek at everything, but there’s still some great stuff there. And some stuff I won’t be able to understand. For those times, Bethesda will be streaming tournaments at Twitch.tv/QuakeCon.

Then again, I’d probably watch that and get confused by the speed of Quake again, just like every year…

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
