Project Baxter: Player Hub Concepts
Hello! For roughly 3 years I got to work on the now cancelled Project: Baxter, a stylized fantasy co-op game set in the world of “Dungeons and Dragons”. This was my first real job in the industry, and even though the game was cancelled, I couldn’t ask for a better start in the industry. As a concept artist I was primarily responsible for the environment & prop concepts.I want to take the time to give a huge thank you to Kyle baerlocher (Art director), Vladimir Krisetskiy (Senior Concept Artist) and Christoffer Jensen (Senior UI Artist) for all the guidance, feedback and good memories. Also a shoutout to Daniel Perez (Studio Art Director) for taking me in and mentoring me during my internship period at Starbreeze.

Portal and mission select. The player interacts with the floating orb of water to choose mission. Once the mission is selected, you and your companions will use the pool to teleport to the mission.
