STRANGE WORLD
I was a part of the character look development team on Strange World. For most of my career up to this point I had primarily focused on environment look development, so getting the chance to work on character groom and look dev was a nice change of pace. I worked on a couple members of the BG ‘crew’ in the film. I did the character groom and look dev for both Duffle (shown in the leather pilots cap) and another BG crew member shown in the leather vest.
