WORLD OF VALERIAN

They made an interactive website showcasing some early concept art. I was going to wait till next month to post all 400 or so images at once, but i will share a couple images they released.

Here was one of the many early Pearl designs, this one in particular i had my significant other Yangtian Li help me out on. The Pearls were very much a Luc creation, he had a pretty good idea what he wanted and it was fun helping him bring the idea to life for the film. Looking forward to sharing all the work done for these guys next month!

Early illustration i did of my Ktron robots in the film.

One of my Skyjet images that got released today.

An environment shot of Valerian and Laureline in the Bulan Bator sector of Alpha in the butterfly cave. 

One of the big market illustrations i did, was fun getting to design the interior/exterior of this set along with all the creatures/aliens in this part of the film.

Kortan Dahuk, one of the first aliens to visit Alpha in the film. This was designed almost 10 years ago when i was still a student, really cool to see it in a film after so many years.

LUCY

Had the huge pleasure and honor to work with Luc Besson again on his recent film LUCY, helping him visualize a lot of the more cerebral portions of his script. Was fun to work with him early on to develop and visualize the future computers seen at the end and visualize some other really out there ideas. One of the first big projects to come out finally working as an independent directly with the client/director, was fun to go on set, see our names in the credits as ourselves and be able to post our work with no hassle...... amazing! :)

You can see more stuff i did for LUCY on my site.

Also noticing blogger really shifts and changes the colors of my images drastically, like everything looks really warm and just 'off'.....anyone else getting that issue? Please view on my site for more accurate colors.
