3d Wallpaper Biography
Randy Post was born September 28, 1968 in Davenport, Iowa, the oldest of two children.[citation needed] Post was born in the Quad Cities area of Illinois.[1] He was raised in rural Illinois on a very small farm. Being fairly isolated allowed Randy's imagination to soar. Much of his time as a child was filled with imagining and drawing unearthly creatures and beasts, many of which have manifested themselves into Randy’s work as an adult.
Post's ambition was not to be a fantasy illustrator: "I originally went to school to become a veterinarian... I eventually decided it wasn't my bag and went into advertising design at Northern Illinois University. But I realized I didn't have the patience or love for it after my junior year, so I went into illustration (which I loved more) with every intention of working in advertising."[1]
Just prior to graduation from Northern Illinois University in 1994,[citation needed] rk post started freelancing the fantasy gaming industry doing interior illustration for several major game companies,[1] gradually teaching himself how to paint with acrylics and eventually oils.[citation needed] Some of his freelance work was for TSR, including Red Steel, Cutthroats of Lankhmar, and Spells & Magic.[1] rk garnered a full-time staff illustration position at TSR in September 1996,[1] painting cover illustrations for games and novels.[citation needed] Post soon began working on two projects: the Planescape setting for the Dungeons & Dragons game, and the new Alternity science fiction role-playing game. "My first published painting after coming to TSR was The Great Modron March for the Planescape setting. I always loved Planescape and was glad to get to work on it. The look embodied everything that I liked and wanted to try."[1] Regarding the level of influence he felt he had on the overall look of the Alternity game, Post said "a little and a lot, actually. Alternity started a year or two before I came to TSR. When I got there, most of the game itself was designed, along with the various aliens. I took them and helped define them visually."[1]
[edit]Career
TSR was purchased by Wizards of the Coast soon after Post was hired.[2] Post had the opportunity to illustrate cards for Magic: the Gathering, and also painted covers for Dungeon magazine.[1] By 1999, Post had three sons.[1] WotC and rk parted ways in the winter of 2000 and he now doubles as a full-time freelance illustrator still contracting occasional assignments through the subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc., and as a 2D and 3D artist for Gas Powered Games. Most recently, he finished working full time as a 3D environmental artist for Sony Online Entertainment in May 2008.
Post was nominated for an ASFA Chesley Award, for Best Gaming-Related Illustration, in 1999 for his work Alternity: Player's Handbook (cover),[3] and again in 2002 for his work "Lightning Angel (card art for Magic: Apocalypse Expansion)".[4]
