                    to work with Zero Gravity as lead 2D artist right up until 
                    just recently, and produced around 100 textures for a <b>Quake 
                    2</b> mod, Shattered Illusions. He has also did work for Stream, 
                    Down Under Interactive, and <a href="http://www.sandboxstudios.com/">Sandbox 
                    Studios</a> (making textures for a undisclosed Playstation 
                    game), essentially taking up any project that gave him the 
                    opportunity to practice and seriously hone his texturing skills. 
                    He has also won some significant art awards over the years, 
                    including the Lena Turner Foundation Scholarship for the arts 
                    ($10,000), and Best of show, 2nd place, 3rd place and honorable

                    was working on the <b>Alice</b> cover for loonygames that 
                    Rogue Entertainment (the company producing the game) announced 
                    that they were in search of a new texture artist to work on 
                    said game. Derelict painted up some sample textures, as did 
                    a lot of other artists, but of course (you've worked it out 
                    already, haven't you?) Derelict just happened to have something 
                    else to go with his submission, something a little bit special 
                    and a little bit related to the game in question; <i>the loonygames 
                    cover</i>! Word is that American McGee was particularly taken 
                    with the piece and now uses it as his desktop image.</font></p>

                    opening season 2 issue of loonygames goes online, Derelict 
                    has now been working at Rogue Entertainment for several weeks, 
                    actually working on <b>American McGee's Alice</b>. I'm sorry, 
                    but there's just <i>no way</i> things happened like that by 
                    sheer chance - &quot;God playing dice,&quot; as Einstein put 
                    it - the whole story just reeks of design! Am I right or am 
                    I right?</font></p>
                  <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Derelict's approach 
                    to art has barely changed since he first loaded up Photoshop 
                    all those years ago. Recently he has been digitally coloring 
                    some drawings that he did way back in high school, but generally 
                    he produces everything inside Photoshop and with no use of 
                    filters at all, although he does &quot;use layers like crazy&quot;.</font></p>
                  <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">&quot;My first 
                    influence was Salvador Dali,&quot; he says, talking about 
                    where his 'look' comes from, &quot;whose style, as a kid, 
                    I wanted master. I'd been to his museum in St. Pete when I 
                    lived there and it blew my mind.&quot; Salvador Dali was, 
                    you may remember, that crazy surrealist artist of droopy clocks 
                    and long legged elephants from earlier this century that essentially 
                    killed himself through self-dehydration (apparently, and this 
                    comes from an autobiography, he was fascinated by the way 
                    that you could dehydrate animals like small frogs, and then 
                    bring them back to life by re-introducing water, and he thought 
                    he'd try it himself!). And further, &quot;[H.R.] Giger was 
                    also a big influence - his style has pretty much driven me 
                    to where I am today.&quot; Giger is, of course, the man synonymous 
                    with <i>the</i> Alien. </font></p>
