Best known for Haloid and Dead Fantasy, though those weren't his first releases. Also known for his work on Red vs. Blue, for which he worked tirelessly to make Tex even more awesome than previously thought possible. In between his movies, he's been working on an adaptation of Hatsune Miku for MUGEN and is looking for testers.
Worked briefly as a combat designer for Midway and Namco Bandai. Currently employed at Rooster Teeth Productions. His long-term goal, aside from making movies for his fans, is to make the most awesome fighting game ever.
Has a video list over at GameTrailers. And a Deviant ART gallery. And a YouTube channel.
