    hi

    my name is soenke c "warby" seidel and i am officially available for freelance work again !

    i can work off of other peoples concept art:

    i can do 2d concept art myself also if needed:

    i know my way around in most of todays popular 3d engines like source:

    or unreal:

    but also low-tech stuff like wii specs is no problem:

    it doesn't have to be a complete environment or building it can also be a prop package:

    i can also combine 2d and 3d seamlessly (call it a bullshot if you want to ^^)

    still not convinced ?

    checkout my website for more:

    I'm convinced

    Love your stuff man. Don't think I've ever seen another portfolio with such a large amount of well made content, 5 pages is sick!

    I'm not convinced... I want more.

    Great stuff buddy. Love your work, just don't like your website very much.

    It's little bit confusing to navigate, and too much lost text, especially the "highlights/details" zone.

    The built-in gallery isn't too intuitive either.

    with that being said, you're one of the best artists I know! Keep up.

    How come you are not working for a big studio? This is a serious question, not just compliment. I've seen people with less talent then you get good work with 50k+ pay. Is it your own choice to be a freelancer, do you charge a lot, or because of where you live?

    mercedes was done by both of us. i did most of the modeling, unwrapping and texturing, but warby finally added the last pieces to the texture and tuned it a little. so it is both of us.

    btw. warby, aren't you working at christian von duisburg's office?

    @[hp] i know and i agree unfortunately i cant code html or php to save my life so i am completely reliant on the help of an old school friend who has maintained my website since forever but he unfortunately never finishes something beyond the 75% mark (i love you anyway riviera ^^). but since (hopefully) alot more people will look at my portfolio now i am gonna make sure the navigation becomes a hell of a lot more intuitive !

    @3dnj .... polyvalent .... officially my new favorite word

    Gloglebag: in big studios you are just a small goc in the big machine and i hate the feeling of not having control over the direction a project is heading ... i am just too much of an auteur! also "I" want to make something successful ! joining a team that is already successful kind of misses the point for me ... and with certain high-profile titles/companies like lets say naughty dog or the god of war team its like this: a couple of years ago i would have said id cut a foot off in order to work there but really i don't want to get disillusioned i don't want to see those games in a broken or work in progress state i just want to experience them in their final glory ... you know GET THE REAL EXPERIENCE id rather play them than work on them ^^.

    add to this the fact that i really don't want to get paid in anything but euros right now and can only speak german and english ! so anything none english/german speaking European is not an option already.

    and i really want to life in hamburg i am nostalgically in love with this city.

    but there is no solid work here it seams so i am gonna freelance and work on starting my own company !

    Seldoon182: hessi did the lions share

    VoodooBenshee: so far i have quit every job i have ever had.

    hessi: yes i am or i was till yesterday when id sounded like there is no more money to pay the employees with

    Hey warby

    So....an own studio, huh? Sounds like an awesome plan as long as you don't forget what happened to Nuclear Vision

    You have some guys for a team already? What about a professional #cs.maps revival?

    id love to have everyone from cs.maps on my side but it bet this would be like herding cats they all have all sorts of commitments they wouldn't drop on a whim.

    and the nuclear vision comment ... as long as i am not making a deal with cdv (or any other german publisher for that matter) that would force us to use a 3d engine licensed/written to make a 3d porn game ... the situation should be under control !

    that statement made me actually laugh loudly

    I think you can control that with our salary Money alwa...sometimes helps people not to fool around and work focused

    riviera recoded a bunch of the php stuff on the page to make it more usable he implemented highslide for viewing of the images so you can also open images in tabs now
