Project Baxter: VFX 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.
