I'm excited to share my animations for the new League of Legends champion, Locke! This is the first time I've worked on a base champion and not a skin! It was amazing working with the champ team to help define his personality!

In addition to Art Directing League PC's FIRESTARTER drop I also got to do a bit of concept work on the girls!!! This is the final in game concept I painted for Evelynn after a ton of collaboration with other Rioters and Fortiche to divine the final direction of her look!

Sett was the last champ I had the pleasure of rigging for 2XKO. He was made on an EXTREMELY accelerated timeline compared to our other champs but the team knocked it out of the park.
We wanted to give players one last surprise and I’m so proud of what everyone cooked up. 💚2XKO

Heartbreaking... just nothing but love for the dev team on 2XKO who worked so hard on this game. It's legitimately one of the best fighting games that I've played, and to see things go down like this is just so unfair..
With a heavy heart, the @Play2XKO team shares an update about the future.
- Active development will end in December.
- The final content patch goes live in October.
- Servers stay online.
- In-game purchases made before August 20 will be refunded.

For League Classic I stared into the Spaghetti abyss, dug out ancient files, and tried my best to rebuild our League characters to their original crusty glory!
Try them out NOW, on the PBE and tell me which one you have missed the most! #leagueoflegends #LeagueClassic
Much appreciation to the champion team for allowing me to assist on Locke's animations and especially @sakuyawn for leading the animation direction on Locke!
I'm excited to announce that I've been promoted to Senior Animator at Riot Games! I am incredibly honored to receive this title and extremely grateful to my team on League of Legends for helping me grow to this point. I look forward to what the future brings in this new role!
