Nazis At The Center Of The Earth

When the script for Nazis at the Center of the Earth (NatCotE) crossed into the VFX department for assessment, there was a surprise in store - a resurrected Hitler... initially the plan was going to be to somehow superimpose Hitler's head on a bodybuilder's body - an idea that filled the VFX team with horror (It would be supremely hard to accomplish in the 4 weeks that would be allotted for completing all the special effects). So the VFX team at the Asylum threw around a few ideas - one of which was for Hitler to have a robot body.
I quickly pulled together the following piece of concept art, which went back to the producers a day or two later and they decided to make the change and go for Robo-Hitler!
Unfortunately the Nazis on dinosaurs idea was dropped...








Also got to create the 3D model of Robo-Hitler as well...

GRIMM'S SNOW WHITE

Here are a few of the creature designs I did a while back for the ASYLUM'S "Grimm's Snow White" lizard beast. Initially the call was for a two headed creature, but for animation purposes it ended up being only a single head. More images to come as the movies get released, including designs for AMERICAN BATTLESHIP,  NAZIS AT THE CENTER OF THE EARTH and BIGFOOT
