Lesser Red Dragon

Featured in this sketch is my first draft of the Lesser Red Dragon, a species of dragon from the Legends of Coras tabletop game I’ve been working on for the past ten years. These dragons are by far more common than their larger relatives. They inhabit mountainous regions in temperate to boreal climates, and breath fire by via a venom-like chemical that they can eject from their fangs which is then ignited with a small electric discharge from their jaws that produces a spark in the copper particulates present in the dragon’s saliva, resulting from their habit of grinding up metal ores with their molars. If a fire breathing dragon species is deprived of metals, then it cannot produce a flame, instead it must hunt its prey the old fashioned way, or by attempting to paralyze it with a bite via electric shock.

Zoo Tycoon 2: Platyhystrix rugosus

This Platyhystrix rugosus asset was designed as user created content for the 2004 zoo management game Zoo Tycoon 2. It is as yet incomplete, but I hope to have the rigging and animating done soon, so all you folks who still play ZT2 can enjoy this unique Texan temnospondyl amphibian.

Titanis Mk. I - First Pass

A maintenance robot I designed after being given a prompt of “Bipedal Science-Fiction Character”.

Towering at around three meters high, this hulk of titanium, plastic, and steel can handle just about any repair need aboard a starship. With a full array of sensors, from full-spectrum optics and highly sensitive audio receptors, to a full battery of atmospheric and chemical sensors. Not only is this bot designed to repair damaged or worn components, its AI coupled with the mass array of sensors at its disposal, make it fully autonomous and capable of prioritizing which repairs prevent the most danger to the crew.

Project: SHADE - Hopjack Class

The Hopjack is a medium S.H.A.D.E. I designed for a game project under the title of 'Project: SHADE'.

The Hopjack is primarily utilized for its high mobility, and capability to jump four hundred feet forward on a full coil. The Hopjack, like most S.H.A.D.E.s is capable of scaling walls with ease, resulting in its leaps becoming quite the tactical advantage.
