Despite having a long history and impressive resume, Axis Studios, the external animation company behind Marvel's Eyes of Wakanda, has filed for bankruptcy.

According to Forbes, the Scotland-based studio – which provided the hand-painted animation style for Eyes of Wakanda – has "collapsed into administration," which is the US equivalent of filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Black Panther spin-off series marks the final project for the studio, which also worked on video games like Halo and League of Legends, as well as episodes of Netflix's Love, Death, and Robots.

Artist Arianna Querin recently shared art from the Marvel show, writing that, "This project holds special meaning for me – not only because creatively I had lots of fun, but also because it was one of the final shows developed at Axis Studios before it closed its doors."
