Over the past two years I've been deeply involved in the design process of a very cool action figure/building kit/game concept from Hasbro, Inc. known as XEVOZ.* Much of the credit for how awesome these toys are must go to the designers at Hasbro. I was mostly following their direction, but I hope that something of my handiwork helped enhance the line in some way.

XEVOZ LABEL GRAPHICS
My initial entry into working with
Xevoz was designing graphics for the label sheets that come with the kits.
I did the labels for all the figures in Waves 1 and 2.
XEVOZ FIGURE DESIGN
After several months of doing labels,
the Xevoz development team decided they needed more help in the area of
developing the character design plans that we would send to the sculptors.
My first go around was with the mummy character that came to be known as
Crypt Curse. I've done several more characters since then (although I can
only show you the stuff that's been publicly released.) Astute Xevoz fans
may notice that there are differences between the initial designs and the
final released versions. It's pretty typical for the looks, accessories,
and especially the names to change for toys between the drawing board and
the store shelves. Overall, it's been pretty fascinating to get to see the
process in action. Lotsa work too...
