I liked the idea much better
than the one the publisher
chose, but that’s fine!

“This was a very early sketch
exploring a creature concept.
It’s another way I like to sketch,
in a looser, very sketchy line.
I had the pleasure of pushing
the design to full colour and
detail with added elevations to
help the CG modellers build
it. This was a very funny
and very well-done
TV commercial.”trAnScendentAl
“Another sketch idea for
a book cover. Sometimes
simplicity is what works best.
I liked this idea much better
than the other one the
publisher ended up choosing,
but that’s fine, it’s part
of the process!”hop: cAndy FActory
“A concept for the film. Interestingly, I did
not get to see the film when it first came out. I
was under the impression that the film did not get
made. This was a fun concept that I had hoped
to push to colour and possibly 3D, but the
client was fine with just a sketch.”gUlliver’S

“This project was for a full CG animated feature,
and I spent over six months developing all
kinds of different concepts, from characters
to environments and props, as well as doing
storyboards. This was a really cool
semi-cartoony project that
unfortunately didn’t happen.”Do you want to share your sketches with your fellow ImagineFX readers? Send us an email with a
