AQUAMAN - Fisherman Kingdom
While working on Aquaman, I was given the task of visualizing much of the Fisherman Kingdom. Under the direction of Bill Brzeski, I developed the look of many environments, props and even a few underwater craft. Bill gave me a month to just go nuts with ideas, which I'll be eternally grateful for. In between other tasks I had complete freedom to just have fun and explore.
I'm completely blown away to see that so much of the work has made it into the film, and on top of that, so incredibly faithful to the designs.
The princess prawn ship is one of my first attempts using Zbrush, which I picked up during this gig. So much fun to use. The initial sketches are just Photoshop.
Cheers!
