Other Art

In 2015 I was sought out by special effects master Ryan Nicholson to whip up some concept art for a few 'special' zombies in the upcoming film "Dead Rising: Watchtower", based on the Capcom game series. Being a fan of the games since the initial XBox days, I couldn't say no.

After a few iterations, I was proud to come up with a new addition to Dead Rising's roster of dangerous clown characters. Bonzo here is played in the film by Ernst C. Harth, with make-up effects by Ryan Nicholson, Megan Nicholson and Michelle Grady. They got the look down exactly! The art shown here was also used as a vinyl print for Bonzo's truck, seen in the film.

I'm not mentioned in the following "Making Of" feature, but you can see interviews with actor and artists, including great close-ups of Bonzo and his creepy van:

Scarlett and Tricia, lead characters of “Scarlet Vengeance,” with the project’s logo, done up as a retro VHS cover. I have a serious love for ’80s cyberpunk fashion, VHS trash, and all that goodness.

My contributions to an upcoming project for the 60-Second Film competition. For these, I owe the director and 3D artist Kial Natale for providing several excellent renders and plates to work with. This was my first experience in creating mattes for films. A fun and colourful challenge!

Kial has just released a behind-the-scenes special on the project so you can see the incredible work that he and the team did. (I get a shout-out as well!) Check it out!
