In the process of creating style guides, there comes the challenge of combing new content while archiving existing assets into a cohesive package. Often this reveals holes in the content and original art is created.

I photographed and retouched Indiana Jones props for the archival library and the styleguide, which I designed.

I designed and created official Lucasfilmfonts for licensing purposes.

At Leapfrog I often I review 3D models based on our 2D IP. Using Photoshop I rework the proportions and texturing of the model submission to bring it closer to the original artwork, or simply do wireframe draw overs to specify corrections.

3D Character Model Feedback

In the process of developing IP, or representing IP in games, there requires a fair amount of revision to improve the appeal of the characters, or to ensure consistency of the forms. When developing new IP I start with a rough sketch and then turn to contract artists to refine the presentation for approval.
