FUCKED UP FRIDAYS

Time to open a bottle and spill the beans. Teamwork has been driving us insane, so we're finally at a point where we need to share the weekly ridiculousness with the rest of the outside world. "Hey, anybody out there?!" Starting today, we'll now be sharing insights into the rather nutty part of the studio every Friday, so stayed tuned to what you'll be forced to see in the upcoming weeks.

(This is what happens when a bunch of artist get excited about their new whiteboard)

(...And this is what happens when we research new SMV Corporate Identities)

BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!

Hey Guys,

Sorry we've been off the radar for a while but after months of battling the fires of hell to keep up with all of our work, we're (finally) back! We've been working on some INCREDIBLE projects for our lovely partners over at Warner Brothers, KOCH Media, RUMBLE, RIOT Games, AKQA and DENA to name a few. We know you're going to love the new work and believe us when we say that as soon as we get the "ok", you'll see it here first.

Having said that, you know we wouldn't leave you hanging completely. We've been hauling ass over here to make sure that we continue to bring you the biggest and best that we've got. So, as a massive "Thank You" from SMV, we want you all to have the first "sneak peek" at our latest sketches for the upcoming HOOD project. We hope you enjoy...

SIXMOREVODKA GOES RESIDENT EVIL

For their Facebook Fan-Anniversary, Capcom approached us and had us design some of their most iconic enemies from the Resident Evil series with our own touch. We can finally showcase these images and unveil one of the many projects we've been working on behind the scenes. We hope you enjoy!

SIXMOREVODKA RELEASES A SNEAK PEAK INTO IT'S FIRST IP

We're finally opening a little showcase into our first internal IP production. The name of the project is HOOD and we don't want to spill the beans on what it is just yet, but we can announce that this is something our entire team has been working on in it's free time and there is more stuff to come as we unfold this secret in the next few weeks and months. Stay tuned and enjoy some of the artwork here, showcased for the first time.

SIXMOREVODKA TEAM GROWING LARGER

Our little studio has undergone some huge revamping. Not only did we reconstruct large parts of it, we added a bunch of artists too!

Joining us straight from Gameloft at our Headquaters in Berlin, comes Yohann Schepacz, french fury of environment art. Yohann's portfolio and attitude made him an instant hire and add on to the team. His skillset is an excellent asset to the expansion of our portfolio and we look forward to an exciting new year with him, sharing red wine, snails, frog legs, croissants and other eventual good times.

Hailing from Lithuania, Matjosh joins our team as a junior concept artist as well. Actually named Andrius Matijoshius and just bloody 22 years old he started his career with us as an intern and quickly rose to his junior position after only being with us for a very short time. His work ethic and his illustrations really clicked with our team and we're proud to see him grow up with us over the next year.

SIXMOREVODKA: FIRST ANNUAL ROUND UP

2011 is coming to a close and we're wrapping up our first year as an outsourcing studio. Time flies by and the last few months have been busy as hell for us. This year was incredibly successful for our team, in just a short period, we worked with over 20 new clients on more than 40 different projects collectively. We're excited to see some of our work come to life in the following years as releases start hitting the market stands. A big thanks to UBISOFT, ACTIVISION, EA, VISCERAL GAMES, AMA STUDIOS, CAPCOM, BEENOX, AVALANCHE STUDIOS, MARVEL, GUERILLA GAMES, WIDELOAD, DISNEY, HASBRO, KEEN GAMES, BLIZZARD, CITY INTERACTIVE etc., for your continued support and the great projects we were able to work on. 2012 looks even more exciting from this perspective.

SIXMOREVODKA KEEPS ON GROWING!

Ville Kinnunen, concept artist for Bioware's Dragon Age is switching positions and joining our team in Berlin as a Senior Concept Artist come November 1st. We're incredibly excited to get such a high end professional to join our already existing power units.
Hailing from Finland Ville Kinnunen initially broke into the industry by designing characters for Funcom's Age Of Conan in Norway. Still a young lad at the time his brilliant character design skills started shining through when he breathed life into the costumes and armors of Conan and his many enemies. After Funcom, he took his skills to the next level working for Bioware in Edmonton, Canada, where he was tasked to embellish the Dragon Age universe and proved himself once more an invaluable team asset.
His next big step is our Studio in Berlin (the poor guy has to move such vast distances) where his character design abilities are going to be needed for SIXMOREVODKA's huge workload. Cheers to our newest team member and don't forget to check out his Portfolio at CG HUB.
