Remote 2D Background Artist

DYAD is an upcoming indie action/adventure 2D animated musical series. The story follows twins Mo and Bruce Riggs, two of the last living descendants of a man named Percy Royce who had inherited the most powerful form of magic known to their planet and passed it down through the generations. The family, once known for their heroic deeds and for vanquishing their kingdom’s greatest foe, Delanath, to an isolated prison, the family has fallen from grace following Mo and Bruce’s mom having fallen in love with a mortal man as opposed to a mage, and their elder brother, Jack’s, betrayal of the kingdom following their parents’ death. The twins seek to restore their family’s name to what it once was, but this will be no simple task, between having to lead a double life on Avovalyn and Earth, learning to master their powers, and keeping their rambunctious little sister, Selena, in line…all while Delanath’s plan to bring a prophecy, which–if fulfilled–would ensure his freedom, is coming closer and closer to fruition.
