Now that the movie is finally released I am posting some old work.
I spent 6 months in the Art Department at Rainmaker Entertainment in 2013 working as a designer/concept artist for this animated feature.
Here are a few images of my work early on in the production. Keep in mind that a lot of these ended up quite different by the time the film made it to the big screen.
