Cool flying behind the scenes!
Super hyped to show you the Visdev work I did back in 2023 for the HTTYD live action. This show will always have a special place in my heart. The HTTYD movies are my favorite movies of all time and one of my biggest inspirations that got me to learn 3D... so getting the unique opportunity to do dragon development for the film was surreal for me. I worked closely with VFX supervisor Christian Manz during this process along with my team at Framestore - Owen Jackson, Stefan Mayr and Daren Horley. In the Visdev department we were tasked to explore what the realistic versions of these dragons would look like, these 4 are the ones I got to work on. Daren Horley then took some of my renders and provided some paintovers to explore their look further! do check his stuff! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ZlmzyZ
