Rura & Henry - Een zwemlesavontuur in de Maasplassen - Children book for swimming lessons
This is one of the many projects I have worked on during my time at 8D Games. Now that I have taken the time to upload a large amount of them it's making me proud to see what we have accomplished during this time.
My role was bassicly to do all the art for the studio as their only inhouse artist. During this time I have met great people and had the privilage to work with a lot of talented interns as well that helped me crank through these projects as well.
Thanks for the amazing time guys it has been a hack of a ride!
