From iconic fashion to futuristic mechs, the concept art director talks about his influences and stylistic sketching choices

NUTS 2 BUTTS, MARTIAL MONKEY, AND TWISTED TEMPLE

“Daily sketches I created for Inktober 2022. I collaborated with co-workers to come up with inspiring subjects or phrases for each day’s sketch. This exercise is beneficial for artists, especially those who are new to the creative industry. It’s a great challenge to see where your imagination can take you with just a single word or phrase.”

SYD MEAD MECH

“This is a robot that belongs to a series I’ve created. It’s heavily inspired by Syd Mead, one of my all-time favourite artists. I love mimicking the marker style from the 80s and find a lot of inspiration from that era. I drew it using my custom brushes that I’ve made to look like markers.”
