Alan Braxton
Howdy! My name is Alan Braxton and welcome to my website. I am an animator and artist, based in Austin, TX. My entire life I strove to be a video game developer and have loved the opportunities I’ve had to make games so far. I’ve dabbled in various disciplines to have the ability to carry my ideas from concepts to fully rendered animations and models. I strive to make content that’s full of action, comedy, abstract weirdness or a combination of all three. Enjoy your look around my site!

Hobbies
Reading
I love to read comic books and manga. In terms of comics I read a lot of Sonic the Hedgehog, Venom and Spider-Man. In terms of manga, I prefer Naruto, Dragon Ball, The Legend of Zelda and recently Mega Man.
gaming
My gaming tastes are very broad, but I’d say Action games, FPS’s and Hack-and-Slash games are my favorite. Halo Reach, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Darksiders I are my favorite games of all time.
sports
Since I was in grade school I’ve been playing sports or at least working out. I played running back in football and ran sprints in track. Nowadays, I just lift weights, and play basketball and volleyball with friends.
writing
In my free time I have enjoyed writing fictional stories for the characters I have created. My hope is to eventually mix together my passion for drawing and writing to create comics for my series, like Project K.
