ARK MMO

 ARK Survival Evolved is an awesome MMORPG developed by Wildcard Studios in 2017. I joined in 2021 as Outsource Art Director to build their global outsource capacity. I developed a 6-studio network of partners for animation, modeling, props, environments and characters. Much of this work is ‘next-gen’ for ARK 2 (not public yet) in addition to multiple DLC packages (shipped 2024).

(note: I was not involved with Survival Evolved; this video included here as an overview for folks not familiar with Ark)

In celebration of the Ark Animated Series, we developed 16 playable characters and >120 dinos with toon-shaders.

Jan. 1, 2024, Steamboat Willie moved from a Disney property into the public domain. As AD, I was a primary driver in every step of the process here. We built environment and character assets (with both external and internal resources) to make this happen in a few months.

For the Power Rangers DLC, I worked closely with multiple license & stakeholders to ensure both visual and technical solutions for the meeting of these two great IPs.
