Meet Drakhas

Oğuzalp ‘Drakhas’ Döndüren joined the Legion TD team last month, and we’re thrilled to be working with him. Drakhas is a talented artist from Istanbul, Turkey who is also an avid gamer and fan of Legion TD 2.

While watching his uncle do 3D modeling for furniture, Drakhas became interested in modeling video game characters. Soon he realized someone needs to come up with the designs first, so he began drawing and pursuing his passion as a concept artist. His dream is to create the next Arthas, Kerrigan, or Master Chief.

Here’s a sneak peek of some of Drakhas’ character designs for the Forsaken legion:

Butcher is personally one of my favorite characters. Wielding a massive axe and wearing a bloody apron, Butcher is terrifying to most, but he has a soft spot if you get to know him. Don’t ask him about his heart tattoo. He’s sensitive about that.
