<p>This week's <a href="http://bethblog.com/index.php/2010/04/2 ... a/">Inside the Vault</a> is with Obsidian and <em><strong>Fallout: New Vegas </strong></em>Senior Artist <strong>Joe Sanabria</strong>. Here are the highlights:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>What&rsquo;s your job at Obsidian?</strong></em></p>
<p><em>I&rsquo;m a Senior Artist here at the studio, which is what they call you when you get gray hairs and have been doing this for a few years.</em></p>
<p><em>My job in a nutshell is to make Fallout: New Vegas look good. I focus on the visual development of the game and define the artistic direction.</em></p>
<p><em>...</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Any fun facts you&rsquo;d like to share about Obsidian?</strong></em></p>
<p><em>At around 4pm they unlock the doors and a few Obsidianites will wander around the Irvine Spectrum, which is an outdoor shopping center across the street, for about 20 minutes and then return to their desks.</em></p>
<p><em>...</em></p>
<p><em><strong>You were an artist in NYC and now you work in the OC. How do the scenes compare? </strong></em></p>
<p><em>Well, technically it&rsquo;s upstate NY and not the city where I grew up. But I was no stranger to the streets of Manhattan, in particular Washington Heights.</em></p>
<p><em>But getting to the question, I don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s a fair comparison. There are so many museums and galleries in Manhattan, I think that just the work in the Met alone is probably larger than all the museums and galleries of OC combined.</em></p>

Joe Sanabria worked on Neverhood and Skullmonkeys. He's got a +1 in my book.

Actually, the visual stills were one of the few excellent things about Fallout 3 - not necessarily canon, but they were still excellent.

Never knew that Neverhood had a sequel. Any good?

It was on the playstation and was a platformer over the point'n'click game that was Neverhood. Still really fun though.
