# About me
I'm a professional graphic designer with an interest in moving into pre-production art and design for the entertainment industry. As part of that goal I've been working on a Dune-themed RTS game team - Dune: War of the Spice - as their concept artist and Art Director.We're always on the lookout for other talented artists with a passion for Frank Herbert's classic novel to join us in our endeavor.
BTW, if you have any paid design gigs in the Virginia, D.C. area and you like what you see don't hesitate to send me a message.

PLEASE NOTE: Much of the work here is based on the intellectual property of Frank Herbert and his estate, Westwood Studios (Now EA), David Lynch and various other production companies and rights-holders. I wish to stress that NO attempt is being made to infringe on these rights that that NO money is being made from the exploitation of these properties. However, if you do own any of this stuff and you'd like to pay me to develop it, let's talk. :D

Are you only doing the Harkonnen designs? I really dig your designs man. Think I'll watch Dune again tonight...lol

Thanks, man. I'm concentrating on the Harks to start with so so the modelers and animators can put together one complete playable faction for demo purposes. I'll be moving onto the other factions once I'm done with this phase, got lots of ideas for them too and we're always looking to add more concept artists to spread the design load.

So are you more of a fan of the 80's movie or the TV series?
I liked both, liked Children of Dune series better than the
Dune series thou. lol

I came to the franchise though the novels first so I prefer the miniseries adaptations, since they are more faithful to the original material. Children of Dune was also beautifully filmed. I can't help but be influenced by the visual design of David lynch's film, though. His production designer produced some undeniably brilliant and iconic work.

Thank you for the watch, kind sir.
Also, I want that tablet

hehe, thanks. I get a lot of use out of it.
Very much enjoyed your music, any interest in writing some music for a Dune game? Our site is down for maintenance today, but check it tomorrow to see if it might be something you'd like to be involved in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That sounds like something I might be interested in
Paid work? What is the site? I'll check it when it's up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sadly not paid, though we wish we could all make some money with this. One day, we hope.
I think it's back up: [link]

This sounds really interesting, and having listened to the style of music from the official games, it'd be right up my alley. I'd love to give this a try
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad to hear it, we think you style would be great for the game too. We've tried out some previous composers and found they had trouble committing consistently to the project or just didn't "get" the source material or the flavor we were going for.
If you go onto our website ([link] ) and click on the Jobs link you can apply to join the team. This is mostly a formality since I've already sent them some links to some clips of your music (this was the one that got the most favorable reaction: [link] ) so just include some more links and a short message for the team to check out and I think you'd be a shoe-in.

Sorry about the late application, but I've sent it now!
School resumed for this last term, but that doesn't seem to mean that they'll be going easy on the workload. They've been piling on work so that we can get it done before/over the summer, I suppose. But I'll still have plenty of time to work on music. I always make time for music~
AHH and I just saw the more links thing so I'll note you on here with them. Sorry about that

Very glad you applied, I think the other guys will be impressed. You have a very strong grasp of composition and atmosphere that's a lot more appropriate to game music than other candidates we've looked at.
Are you at school for music?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you kindly!
I'm doing a music A-level at my Sixth Form, but it's the first formal music course I've ever done.
I'm planning to do a Music Production degree at university, though, and the place I have in mind has the most fantastic studios. That course would really help me get to grips with modern studio equipment, so then I'll have covered both the creative and the technical side of it

Hey man, thank you so much for the watch, much appreciated!

Hey, thanks for the Watch. Much appreciated! Quite jealous of your deviant ID setup, nice Cintique!
Love the Dune art, such a fan of the film, and i tend to listen to the soundtrack daily.. the track '14 - The Dukes Death' sends shivers down my spine and get my art juices flowing.
I see your doing some concepts, they look great. Ill watch and check out future deviations of yours.
Sus out

Thanks man! Part of the reason your stuff caught my eye is that I was looking about on DA for reference material and inspiration that I could share with the team working on the Dune project.
I had stumbled across your model of the green guy with the shiny black clothes and crazy collar. Everybody loves it and we think that a look like this would be perfect for one of the factions we're developing, so you may have just helped to inspire the styling for 1/3 of our game.
Looking forward to seeing what you'll make next, your zBrush skills are among some of the best I've seen!

Well that's great to hear. I'm flattered that my character struck a chord with you and your team.
Its funny because I too felt that he would fit in a Dune Universe. You know what, I keep having odd coincidental moments like this lately.
I look forward to seeing what this faction becomes.
Thank you for you kind words regarding my Zbrush techniques. I am working hard to better my style and quality. Its a stunning bit of software!
The next image is on its way, hopefully up tomorrow

First off, I am not a proffesional artist. However, I can whip out a lot of drawings if you need ideas. My schedule is wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open, so don't be afraid to ask for any random drawing. I would happily give you my random scribblings for free.

Best wishes
Gaston
