More Bordlerands 3 stuff is coming! There is a lot.  Its gonna take forever to post it all.  

Here’s a design I did for Ava’s little pet Hermes who hangs out on Sanctuary.  I basically begged for 6 years straight to give a character this little pet and they finally let me haha.

Concept work for Ava, a new character for Borderlands 3 who is Maya’s apprentice.  I designed her almost two years after Maya’s design was long finished.  My style matured somewhat during that time.  I really enjoyed getting to design a look that reflected certain elements of Maya’s costume in a more youthful and tomboyish way. 

Apparently the lil gal is somewhat controversial, but I am very proud of how she turned out and am excited to work on her again in the future…

Concept work for Vaughn!  He is one of my favorite characters from Tales, so I was super excited when I got to work on him for Borderlands 3.  The poor dude has gone off the deep end somewhat, and we did a lot of different explorations to see just how crazy he should look.  

I think its hilarious that he is the only male character I’ve worked on in years and he’s super naked.

Concept work for Lady Aurelia Hammerlock!  This was interesting because I was the original designer for her look in Pre Sequel.  I knew that I wanted to play up her Disney Villianess vibes a lot for this game, and I wanted her face to look a bit different, as if she had undergone some plastic surgery.  She is such a fun and campy character and will always have a special place in my heart for being the first Borderlands character I ever worked on.
