This drawing was inspired by Craig Mullins' gorgeous concept art for the city in Final Fantasy: SW. Going back I would rework the perspective some, but I still like the lonely, desaturated backlighting and the feeling of having a lot of space over your head, being on the ground surrounded by all these tall industrial buildings. Much later, this picture in turn became inspiration for my 2d animation, 'Fio'.

Backgrounds created for Tori Larson's film, 'Vulture and Coyote'. Tori gave me an example of her finished layout style and some pencil outlines of what she wanted the layouts to look like, and I did my best to keep to that style when creating these! A very fun experience.

Background example 2!

Background example 3.

Color boards for an animated short, 'Playback'.

Simple, stylized background for my junior film, Playback. I wanted to create a lonely atmosphere and a kind of stagnant space that was cut off from the rest of the world (represented by the window.)

Rough sketch of the helm and navigation of an air cruiser, with tourist passengers walking through and observing the skylight and ship workings.

Atmospheric painting based on the idea of a girl whose front door is a waterfall in front of a cave. I wanted to convey the tactile feeling of water and the heat from the light, and the sense of aliveness that comes these sensory experiences.
