Into The Metaverse - August 2022 TIME Magazine

The primary artist for the cover art was Durk van der Meer, Aku is based on a character created by Micah Johnson. I retopologized, UV mapped and converted textures and blendshapes for the main character, modeled and textured the puppy dog and the spacesuit character in the background, provided input on the color scheme and 'portal' effect. It was fun, and a great honor to work with Micah, Durk and the rest of the team of artists who contributed.
