From 2020-2024, I was a part of the Battle Barge development team under ProbablyMonsters. The following concepts were done while we were developing an early version of Storm Lancers.

The art style, during my time on the project, was heavily inspired by the look of traditional 2D animation (particularly works from Takeshi Koike, Madhouse, Studio Trigger, Robert Valley, Genndy Tartakovsky) and late-20th century comic artists (Jack Kirby, Philippe Druillet, Moebius, Mike Mignola). As an art team, we wore our inspirations on our sleeves, owing a great deal to the many amazing artists and creators that came before us.
