Thrilled to finally share a look at my Environmental VFX work for World of Warcrafts 11.2 patch. For these I focused on the visual language of the Mana Collectors and Eco Domes.

I didn't make as much for the 11.1 raid as I usually do. But Here are some neat Biker Gang burnouts and Slime effects/shaders I was able to help out with. www.artstation.com/artwork/L4yYdK

You bet your ass. It might be the best example of the board game to videogame conversion out there; it's done by the digital wing of the company that designed Clank to begin with!

How do you convince the crew at BigTime to make a real-life goblin hot rod? You bribe ‘em!

Watch Now: https://blizz.ly/4igdRxT
A photograph of a poorly lit, real-life version of the in-game D.R.I.V.E goblin car in an industrial area barely visible through the blue smoke that permeates the background. A green glow emanates from within the grill of the car, reflected on the wet floor below it. Large text below the car reads "When Goblin Engineering Actually Works". The Undermine(d) logo appears above the car.

Ever wonder what D.R.I.V.E. could look like in real life? In a collaboration with Blizzard and the team from BigTime, Undermine's craziest hot rod is brought from Azeroth straight to Earth.

This is the concept & color variants that I did for the Hexflame Coven armor set in The War Within! I had fun trying something different and coming up with a shivarra-themed warlock set.
