David worked his magic (and incredible talent) on this scene with one of the most fun characters in the game.
Here I go again with another squirrel-but this is THEE SQUIRREL! I had an absolute blast hand animating this 2 minute long cinematic for Ragnarök. It took 4 months & includes just about every technical & creative challenge possible. Please watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=8aVGle3Z…

The powerhouse behind Atreus! Melissa is crazy talented.
I did a bunch of stuff on God of War: Ragnarok! Most of my time was spent focused on Playable Atreus's combat set and the Wight. Full Reel: vimeo.com/808939874 (Thanks to @TheRealBigFeel for spending ~6 hours doing game captures for me! 😅) #GodOfWarRagnarok

Fired up an episode of #TheRingsOfPower. Halfway through the title sequence I thought I was watching the opener for a #stormlightarchive series. Damn, they beat you to it @BrandSanderson.

A good friend gifted me this leather-bound @BrandSanderson signed copy of #mistborn as well as some #cosmere themed coasters and decals. A merry Christmas indeed. Looking forward to the upcoming "Year of Sanderson"!

Lovely Christmas day in Cali. Enjoying some chill time with the cat while my son takes a nap- tuckered out from the morning excitement. Happy holidays everyone!
