Environment and other Vis Dev for Tales of Arcadia: Wizards
Environment Visual Development for Guillermo Del Toro's Tales of Arcadia: Wizards. (Now on Netflix), my first project at DreamWorks. Art direction by dope Art Director Linda Chen, Production design by Alfonso Blaas (who was immensely generous with his knowledge, experience, and overall mentorship. Alex Brennan was my CG Supervisor for this, and he really kept me honest with getting my technical details right for him.
This was my favorite project and team to date, and I'll count myself lucky if I have another experience like this in my future. A truly rewarding experience.
The skull castle! I had fun painting this, but it was Sean Andrew Murray (no relation) who made the original design for this, and I painted on top of Cundo Rabaudi's detailed 3D model. Fun!
Merlin's safe. I liked the glowy bits for some reason
The menu board for the cafe that Douxie works at part-time. I added my niece and nephew's names as daily specials, but we only see a tiny piece of the board through a window for 2 seconds so no one will ever really know for sure. Sorry Izzy/Alex. I tried
Fireplace in the GDT bookstore in episode 1. I think that it also shows up in Camelot? Watch the show to find out! (It does)

Sometimes the best tasks are the background tasks because nothing specific has been called for and I can pitch whatever I think is appropriate for the scene/story moment. This went through many changes, especially with legal, but it was a blast.
signage for the previous building. Being in LA and SF I can promise that places as pretentious as a Gastro Avocado Pub do exist. I don't even know what means, but neither do they, so here we are
More storefronts with silly names. Cundo Rabaudi did all of the base models for the storefronts. I just made them detailed and silly and colorful
