#projectdragon This one was such an incredible team effort. 3 different character artists were involved in the making of Effie and Pacer. Effie (Megan Gritzfeld) Her mobility chair (Tanner Roberts) and Myself (Pacer) all working from @FromHappyRock 's fantastic concept!

You're going to see a lot of mind-blowing stuff posted over the next few weeks. It was an absolute privilege spending the last 4 years leading this remarkable team building this incredible game.

Alright, let’s start things off 😭 Project Dragon was a cosy sandbox survival crafting multiplayer rpg- a buildable world made of blocks inspired by minecraft filled with fantasy characters and quests inspired by breath of the wild, and I loved working on it dearly

One of the most important designs of the whole project for me was Oca! Our ocarina golem. I kept telling my teammates “we need weirdos! Weird little guys!” But everyone really understood once I came in Monday with Oca to pitch. He’s a living clay ocarina with accordion arms 🎵

WELL. Our cancelled project of the last 3 years is officially, truly dead as of today (internal attempts to save it failed), and the embargo on the whole body of portfolio work has been lifted. RIP Project Dragon. Brace yourselves for the largest ever art bomb of work I loved 👁️

One of the first creature ideas I pitched at the start of Dragon was the Pinoceros, and it stuck! Erika & I went on a walk in the woods talking about the project, our early memories of playing pretend in the forest, favorite rpgs, and by the time we got back the pino was hatched!

Now that Project Dragon has officially been cancelled, I’d like to share some of the music. Here’s Oca’s Theme. Recorded by Cinema Scoring in LA. Ocarina by @field_of_reeds One of my fav scores, now never to be heard in it’s entirety😢 play.reelcrafter.com/k2bx2FY…

This is the project I worked on at Phoenix Labs before things went down. I'm still sad about it because I think we had something pretty/cool but at least they're allowing us to show work, which is rare on this industry. I'll be making some renders, stay tuned!
