    Frieren Sound Redesign


    Total sound rework (effects, ambience, vocals and music) all done by myself of one of my favourite episodes of the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. This scene had a lot of different storytelling elements and moods all condensed nicely together and I’m a big fan of fantasy settings in general. I’m the dragon by the way.
