Tramell Isaac is my name but some people know me by "T.Ray". I've been I the biz six years and counting. My most memorable years were the three I spent at Interplay (with Black Isle). I loved working on Fallout and Fallout 2. I'm currently working as the Art director on the MMOFPS PlanetSide for SOE/Verant .

I'm inspired by all the people I've worked with... to name a few: Mike Sherak, Tim Donley, Scott Rodenhizer, Mike Mccarthy, Leon B., Aaron M.,Jason A., Rob C., B. Menze, Tim "Holtertop" Justin, Vance, Jeff McAteer, just to name a few. Oh yeah i can't forget Aaron "Boogie" Brown.

Kingpin, Age of Empires 2, Dungeon Keeper 2, and a few others.

I have been playing videogames most of my life, since the first days of Pong to the Commadore 64, Intellivison on up to PC games. I've always wanted to do something new with my art. This industry gave me the opportunity.

Painter5: It's the greatest for painting realistic skin textures. Painter6 dropped the ball. They changed some things that didn't need changing.

Lightwave6: It can render with the big boys and in most cases it's a lot faster.

Deep Paint: Seemless texture maps are no longer a pain in the @$$

Rap, Hip Hop and R&B.
