Hell Bent Book Trailer

This is probably one of my first times animating a quadruped, and from a 3D sculpture at that! I’m definitely looking forward to more opportunities to make critters move. It was an honor to make an animated cover for Leigh Bardugo’s second book in her Alex Stern series (the first being Ninth House, if you’re interested in pickin’ it up).

praise reels

Leigh Bardugo is an impressive, accomplished writer whose smash-hit adult paranormal fantasy Ninth House won the hearts of many. Needless to say, many were eager to get their hands on Hell Bent. In collaboration with the Executive Director of Marketing at Flatiron, we made these videos collecting praise from Indie bookstores, readers, and Stephen King himself.
