TROVER SAVES THE UNIVERSE (2019)

Trover offered a variety of characters and creatures to animate that ranged from gross and weird to cute and adorable (like this lil' scamp here!)
Several months after graduating SCAD in 2017, I joined Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland's video game studio: Squanch Games (way back when the studio was still called "Squanchtendo"!)
From 2017 until the game's launch in 2019, I animated for Trover Saves the Universe and its DLC. Trover was my first job as an in-studio game developer, and it taught me a lot about the animation pipeline for video games. Much of Trover revolved around Justin Roiland's quirky, improvisational brand of comedy-- entire narratives could change dramatically between dialogue records. As a result, I learned to develop an adaptive workflow to stay on top of last-minute alterations.
