DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION

Asked to work in Frank Miller's "300" style, these were part of the presentation package I created for Zack Snyder.

They represent the three leads, four scenes not in the graphic novel, and at this time, Zack had Daniel Day Lewis in mind for Leonidas and Monica Belucci for Gorgo, so he asked me to do an image of Daniel becoming the Miller version of the character.

THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK

THE HUNT FOR RIDDICK

A four-part web experience in which you are enlisted by bounty hunters in search of the ultimate prey... Riddick.

Part one is an introduction by Dame Judy Dentch, and parts two, three, and four are a deep interactive hunt throughout the Riddick Universe.

From an idea by David Twohy, my concept and site design, image creation by myself, Scott Willis, and Joe Dean, my Flash design and primary set up, and Flash programming by Joe Dean.

PITCHBLACK

SLAM CITY

A pre-quel to the film PitchBlack, the story of Riddick's stay at Slam City.

Written by David Twohy, illustrated by me, and later, as an after thought, cut and pasted internally to incorporate limited animation.

BELOW THE MOVIE

PROMOTIONAL WEB EXPERIENCE

An interactive search through the U.S.S. Tiger Shark, the American submarine featured in the movie, whose crew comes to believe is haunted.

Written by David Twohy, my illustration and Flash design, and Flash programming by Joe Dean.

SKYRAKER

TRAILER FOR VIDEO GAME PITCH

From the pages of Image Comic's Supreme comes a revamped SkyRaker in an exciting video game with an epic storyline set in the near future.

Created, written, illustrated, modeled and animated by me with 3D animation and rendering by Scott Willis.
