THE PREDATOR

Released: 2018

Distributor: Fox

Development Studio: Amalgamated Dynamics Inc.

My Role: Concept Artist

Back in 2016 I had the pleasure to work on director Shane Black's THE PREDATOR. Once again I had the privilege to work with and be supervised by my mentors and creature creation masters Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr. of Studio ADI. This was the 3rd time I got to work on a Predator design.

Based on the design brief, there was going to be an Emissary, a human Predator hybrid, and a giant Predator. I usually do a few quick concept sketches to help set some visual concepts, specifically to help myself see the whole character and get into the mindset of this new creature, even if the end design is not going to look like what I drew.

I got to explore Predator HOUNDS, and a new take on Predator armor as well. The Emissary description evolved as I worked on it. At first trying out some more traditional Predator trophy garb, and later I was asked to explore more advanced, really smooth and streamlined armor/equipment designs. The concept of a hybrid Predator was very intriguing, but I only got to supply 2 sketches towards that idea.

I'm so thankful to have been brought in once more to contribute to this fantastic PREDATOR universe with such a talented team at StudioADI. Thank you again Tom and Alec!
