Deadlock
Accolade, Inc.
Some of the concept drawings done for Accolade's game "Deadlock". These were intended to provide design specs for building the 3-D models for the military units for all the various species in the game. As frequently happens with games, only a few of the models were eventually built and used in the game due to design revisions, memory limits and so on. Deadlock was a successful game for Accolade, and it is a great resource/strategy game.
