My name is Merritt Filban and I’ve been in GameDev for over 15 years, working mostly in EnvArt, but specializing primarily in Material related work. I’ve been at Respawn Entertainment for the last 3 years, and was at Ubisoft Toronto for almost 10. Here are the last 4 Games I’ve worked on!
Last of these bot illustrations for the moment. Drew this up for my wife for her Birthday, she is a huge #Escaflowne fan. Was fun to paint the background as well! Guess we are Shoji Kawamori household between being fans of Escaflowne, #Transformers, #Macross, and #Gundam.

#autobot Huffer! Part of a series of SD-ish Bots and Mecha. Started the G1 crew with a few select grumpy Mini Vehicles. More to come!

Started drawing for fun again, fell in love with using #krita.

Other than GameDev stuff, you will probably see Content about Hobby related stuff like Gunpla/Figure/Model Kit Collecting/Building/Customizing/Painting, Hobby Tool and Workshop stuff, Custom 3D Printing Tools/Toys/Figures, and occasional YouTube Videos. Oh, and maybe a little bit of the Fam :)

…and here are the First 4 Games I worked in starting out in the GameDev Industry. My first job was at Bungie working on Halo: Reach, then to Silicon Knights working on X-Men: Destiny, and then to Ubisoft Toronto working on Splinter Cell: Blacklist and then Shangri-La in Far Cry 4!

Here’s a fun way to start @bsky.app! 2 nights ago, right before dinner with the fam, cleaning my office, tripped on the dog’s cage, failed to grasp anything with my hands, and landed with my chin on the edge of my desk. Immediately profusely begin bleeding. Ended up at the hospital with 7 stitches.
