The concept was a top 5 finalist, and was offered a $25,000 scholorship. <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/gameconcept.png" width="612" height="792" width_o="612" height_o="792" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/gameconcept_o.png" data-mid="16673295" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/gameconcepts.jpg" width="612" height="792" width_o="612" height_o="792" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/gameconcepts_o.jpg" data-mid="16673298" border="0" align="left"/> Gengar Mask First I designed an image of Gengar that would work as a mask representation. <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/GSinisterFINAL3.png" width="281" height="267" width_o="281" height_o="267" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/GSinisterFINAL3_o.png" data-mid="25257369" border="0" align="left"/> Then I printed it and cut the image from posterboard. I then attatched a generic masquerade mask and cut the eyes to fit the design. <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/Back.jpg" width="320" height="272" width_o="320" height_o="272" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/Back_o.jpg" data-mid="25257362" border="0" align="left"/> After cutting, I applied several layers of paper mache, and molded the contours of the mask. I still need to apply a smooth outer layer, paint the mask, and design eye and mouth panels. <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/Side_860.jpg" width="860" height="645" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/Side_o.jpg" data-mid="25257044" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/Contrasted_860.jpg" width="860" height="645" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/6/198802/3251349/Contrasted_o.jpg" data-mid="25257038" border="0" align="left"/> Infinite Duality Kathy Tran and I put together a game concept which she submitted to the Vancouver Film School for a scholorship.

I've put my heart into this music more than any other field in my life. Current This track is a mix of several songs I've been working on the past few months, but the songs aren't quite developed enough to be release yet. These will likely all be released under the name Doppelgengar, and be distributed for free through the Hungry Forest Art Collective. Past In 2001 I created a band along with Jesse Knickmeyer. It went by several names, before settling on A Kingdom of Tiny Machines. We only played a handful of shows, but we made many songs in those years.In 2006, I started a solo music project Malachi Constant. I played 50+ shows and produced three albums under this name.

The stage of completion between the different songs can vary pretty greatly, as instrument timbres, note sequencing and mixing have not been solidified on most. Here's a couple parts that I made that sound like other video game songs, so I can't really use them, except in jest. Previous In 2009 I composed the soundtrack for the feature documentary Surviving Sewanee, a civil-war era story about a man scarred by war, and how he overcame life's problems.
