CAPCOM

2 min read
I guess I should update here too.

So in a weird shift of things I have gone from working on the new MegaMan tv adaption last year to now working freelance full time as a concept artist for CAPCOM directly! on an unrelated AAA game, it was originally one month that now got extended to 2 with plans to extend more if certain things out of my control happen :) Super excited to be back in video games, I used to dream about making games as a kid so it always feels really good. Hope you have awesome day!

Hey everyone how are you? been a crazy year so far, I did some Concept art work on upcoming Gears of War games with Microsoft, designed some VR game and space focused visuals for Discovery Channel and Tencent(RIOT game's parent company), and currently I am just over at DHX Studios(Yes the one that does My Little Pony haha) here in Vancouver for the next couple months working closely with Capcom Japan and Dentsu on doing some Concept Art/Design work for the upcoming Mega Man 3D animated series.

As always thank you so much for following me over the years, deviant art was the first place I showed my art online, and I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for you, and I hope you stick with me in this life of intense struggles and awesomeness.
