Welcome to the new look JoeMadFan website. As you can see the site is a lot different to the old site. What I wanted to do with the new design was make a site that looked good on smaller monitors, but also looked good on larger, widescreen monitors. This was mainly for myself since I'm on 2560x1440 res monitor, but these days I think most monitors are now around the 1920x1080 res mark. That said, this site should still be enjoyable to those on 1024 res screens, but you do need a larger monitor to get the full enjoyment of the site.
Other changes are mostly in the backend of the site. The site is now full css, which should improve load times. It also makes making changes to the site a lot easier since the skin can be edited in the admin section of the site. Making any changes to the layout can also be done in the admin section. All of these things are things that you, the viewer wont really notice, but it makes things easier for us designers.
Anyway I hope you enjoy the new look site. Overall it's not a huge change, but I think it's a nice change to the site.
I found over on parkablogs (an amazing site about art books) a link to the Udon blog about more information and screenshots to the Darksiders artbook. Check out this link for more info and you can see the screenshots here on my site.
*update* just use the link to check out the screenshots for now. I have to figure out how to upload pictures again this program has been updated. Maybe someone can post them on my forums too.
Joe Mad has been at E3 talking about Warhammer 40k Dark Millennium. I don't know if Joe is doing art for the game yet, but you can check out the interview here and vist Vigil for more news and the trailer for Warhammer 40k DM and also a link to the official Warhammer 40k DM site.
So I was checking out amazon for anything new coming out for Mad! and stumbled on this Amazon Link for a Darksiders artbook...Sweet! I already ordered it. Hopefully more news will come out on this.
That's right Joe Mad will be attending Philadelphia Comic Con check it out LINK for more info
I know I haven't been around, but I think I have a pretty good reason. My girlfriend and I just found out recently that we will be having a baby. So I've been pretty busy getting stuff ready. It's still early but I want to be ready. I'm still going to try to be around more. I really want to start change stuff around here too hopefully I will still have time.
Well if anyone thinks they will be attending the con maybe we can work something out. If you can get Mad! to get do a sketch or if he is giving away posters or anything..I'm willing to pay for whatever you can get.
Well I'm going to type this out fast because I have to get back to playing Darksiders..seriously. I'm about half way through now. I'm so mad I had to wait until the weekend to start playing..stupid work always gets in the way. So if you haven't picked it up yet go get it. It's an amazing game and it's like playing in a Joe Mad! comic what could be better.
Also the Wizard Magazine #221 with Mad's drawing on the cover is out now. I found a bigger scan on Saejinoh from deviantart, the colorist of the cover. I hope they make a poster of this and the rest of Mad's Darksiders art.
I know I missed tons of stuff for Darksiders but I really want to get back to playing. I'll make more updates in a couple days..I have to get 100% on this game first.
Check out this new video featuring Mad! that shows some new concept art..check out video here
Looks like Mad! will be doing a Wizard Magazine cover issue #221 from Previews magazine. Thanks to Gordon for the news and the image.
