One thing I've notice about the last two Toys for Bob's Skylanders games is a type of "gem madness." Was this a hint to the Spyro remasters was it a phase for the company or something else intirely?
Also enjoyed the the Skylanders series since Giants.

It's so cool how you work for Activision! I love your art style and the concepts you have for Skylanders. It's one of my all time favorite games, and one of the things I adore about it is the character designs and variety in them. I just wanted to say amazing work so far!

Say I wanted to ask you personally if I could get your permission to use some of your concept art for the Skylander enemies that you drew for this little thing I'm doing on Instagram.

I can't give permission one way or another. Β The concepts and the artwork are owned by Activision. Β You'd have to write them

Beautiful gallery you have here, Murchie! I was pretty saddened seeing as you have professional quality stuff uploaded, and yet only have 5000 or so pageviews for being here 3 years. Then I read you've been employed by real studios and I guess that's where it REALLY matters when it comes to being a successful artist, eh? LOL
Anyhow, keep up the excellent work! I know I'll be subbed to keep tabs on your outstanding pieces and aspire to someday be have as talented as you, bro.

Haha....thanks! Β Well as you can see by this delayed reply I don't drop by DeviantArt as much as I'd like. Β Thanks for the kind words!

Oh, by the way... though you don't have to spoil anything in reply, I do hope that Skylanders 5 that you guys are working on will have more new Dark and Light skylanders than the other elements, in an attempt to try and equalize the hero numbers in terms of elements. Heck, maybe even more chaos elements, too, like Kaos.
But, that's just my fan commentary speaking there. XD Regardless, I hope things are going well with you and the company.^_^ Your day going well, by the way?^^

Thank you so much! Β I checked out your work! Β Awesome character designs!

You're one of the designers for Skylanders, eh? Very nicely done, I've got to say.^^
Out of curiosity, will another skylanders game be made? So far, Kaos and his mom have been dealt with, but his dad hasn't. Since his mom was a lot more human like, I'm guessing his father is the source of Kaos's less human traits....

I so can't wait to see them. I am wanting to get into the gaming industry as soon as I get out of college. It's amazing to see the things it takes to create all the video games I play today.
