Live Magazine Christmas 2016 Edition

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?
