Thanks for speaking! Means a lot. Been hard to watch. Thankful I have been fortunate to continue to be working, but many friends, teammates, and peers havenโ€™t been so lucky.

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.

My name is Merritt Filban and Iโ€™ve been in GameDev for over 15 years, working mostly in EnvArt, but specializing primarily in Material related work. Iโ€™ve been at Respawn Entertainment for the last 3 years, and was at Ubisoft Toronto for almost 10. Here are the last 4 Games Iโ€™ve worked on!

So far so good. Chin mostly feels ok, looks a bit gnarly though. Worst part was getting whiplash. Neck pain starting to go down. Maybe the scar will look cool, lol. Thanks!

Hereโ€™s a fun way to start @bsky.app! 2 nights ago, right before dinner with the fam, cleaning my office, tripped on the dogโ€™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.
