Kinda cool that it's #PortfolioDay! Super excited to share my first real piece of animation content go live since joining the Overwatch team. Super fun character to work on, and a huge shout out to the rest of the team for their support and guidance throughout! #animation

What an amazing experience. Getting to come to Stockholm for the OWCS and Dreamhack, meeting many of my coworkers and voice actors in person for the first time, talking to fans, and celebrating the launch of my first Overwatch hero--a dream come true. 💙 Thank you all!

The scene where Ambessa talks about what happened to Kino has probably some of the most breathtaking facial animation I've ever seen. Whoever animated Ambessa's face deserves props because DAMN.

Our bouncy spikey boy with a tough exterior but a heart of gold. This character took a MONUMENTAL effort by a team of incredible devs and artist working together. I was responsible for his first person animations.

Kai fricken killed it!! We went through sooo many iterations on Hazard as you can see, and he was an amazing collaborator throughout the process.

I LOVE how he turned out.

@conorgoldenboy Hey man, congrats to as well! Once I heard your voicelines start coming in I knew we'd found a match for our boy. You killed it! :]

[Brandon Nason💙🪷💙 @lost_albatross_]

Seeing Hazard's reception has me all teary eyed. The team worked so hard on him, and days like today make it all worth it. 😭 I'm so stoked people are having fun with him.

I can't wait to hop on this weekend and duke it out with you all! #Hazard #Overwatch2
