Shaledrakes live near coastal and river-lands. When they're not basking their wings in the sun, they can be found diving into the water in search of food.
Their above average intelligence makes them incredibly hard to train, but they are highly sought after as a symbol of status.
The Itztlidon is a large dinosaurian creature, covered in dark obsidian that it uses both as a defensive function, and as a means of delivering more powerful blows through it's large club-like trail.

This skin was a really challenging piece for Guild Wars 2's latest expansion, End of Dragons.
The idea was to take this very futuristic jade-tech that was so heavily emphasized in the new expansion, and try to fit this upon a Raptor Rig. The real challenges came with trying to take something like the flexible raptor neck and make it hard yet movable.
Ultimately, I think we got this really nice combination of emoteable, but mechanical, especially around the jaw and face.

I was asked to make a variation on Guild Wars 2's Jade Bots, with an emphasis on trying to create something cute and cat-like. I think we got something quite adorable :)

Creature design for a tactical combat game project I'm working on in my spare time.
Kroniid is a Bronze storm herald barbarian Dragonborn from Dungeons and Dragons.
He has spent his time fighting and defeating giants, with his elemental arm and magical sand axe. However, his axe causes him to become unusually thirsty, and so carries many waterskins to keep himself hydrated.

Here are a few different takes on some of the rollerbeetle skins I was asked to design during my time working on Guild Wars 2 :)
Some are simply a texture revamp, trying to find ways of creating an interesting skin without a model change. And some are more extensive with a model change and accompanying turnaround required.

Another bunch of skin explorations for Guild Wars 2's Warclaws.
The idea was to take the original warclaw mount and try to visualize and explore more options, with less of a strict brief. With some further refinements once we had something we were pretty fond of.

The Roundtail Dragon brief was to take the Jadebot skins from Guild Wars 2, and create a more draconic design.
The small scale of the model, and it's limitations in terms of rigging had to be taken especially into account.
I think he/she's pretty cute!
(NOTE: 3D model is not created by me)
