Project Inspiration.Bob Rafei

Well. Cause everything is blocked, I have very little information on Bob Rafei to explain. But I have some insight on him and why I find what he does is really cool. He was one of the first employees of Naughty Dog and started his career by drawing concept art for Crash Bandicoot. Which became a major hit and led to more then one being created. Cause of this, Naughty Dog became a player in the early days of Playstation.








The next big hit that Naughty Dog came out with was the Jak and Daxter video game for the Playstation 2. In which he did concept art on leading characters and also background design. Because of this, it just like Crash Bandicoot became a major hit and led to not one but 3 games set in the series. Jak And Daxter, Jak 2, Jak 3

This is what I think is really cool. The process of bringing your artwork that you do through imagination and creativity to life and showing everyone your skill is something I want to do. Bob Rafei is skilled in both concept art and background sketching, which I would like to get into if my skills could be attributed to such. Character sketching is the foundation to any video game. Without it you honestly can't get it going.
