To my knowledge , most of them use Photoshop , Sai and drawing tablets as their preferred tools for drawing .
The artwork we ’ ve seen is amazing - extremely moody in some scenes and captures an almost 3D feel - on average how long does each page of the art book take ?
Thanks , The design process is a long one .... we go through several stages before a finished product , and it varies depending on the type of image ( character profile , battle , environment etc ).
Usually it starts with my initial design coupled with a bunch of notes explaining the mood / vibe I want from the image as well as any extra requirements , but I ’ m always careful to allow the artists plenty of room for their creativity in each piece .
When do you think the project will be finished ?
The project has been going for so long , it ’ s strange to ever think of it being completed lol .
That being said however , I am coming to the “ pointy end ” of things with most of my artwork for the book having been completed and a few more scenes still being drawn up for the demo reel .
Although I technically have enough to start pitching to studios now , If I ’ m taking the time to travel to their offices , I would prefer to have a completed art-book and demo reel in hand to convey professionalism .
I ’ m hoping to speak with Netflix in Los Angeles mid 2017 as I would love to have Millennium Exile conceived in Australia , funded by the United States and animated in Japan .
I wish to break down the borders and boundaries set by conventional methods so that love , respect and hard work can allow for creations within the industries we love .
Sounds great ! Finally , where can our readers go to see your work ?
