Engineer Prando

This guy went from being just a name and a background presence to prominent player status with just a design. I was quite surprised by how well received the concept art was by the director, executive producer and pretty much anyone else who saw it. Some things just seem to come together of their own […]

Added Dimension(s)

The Delgo film is a CG production. Thus, the majority of the concept work that I produced was created with a final, 3D product in mind. It was also part of my responsibility to meet with the CG artists regularly to make sure we were all on the same page with regard to how the […]

Poster Prelims

These were just pencils scanned and quickly airbrushed in photoshop. As it turned out, none were selected. The final composition was worked up by the resident graphic designer.
