I figured I'd post a little bit of my Matrix Resurrections work here.
These were done under the production design of Hugh Bateup and Peter Walpole, and the direction of Lana Wachowski.
These are some designs from IO, including Niobe's keep and the Morpheus shrine.
Hope you enjoy!

EPIC TALKS ABOUT FORTNITE's CONCEPT ART PROCESS (Skins, POIs, etc..)
• Artists still start with original ideas & sketches in Photoshop, Blender, hand-drawing, etc..
• AI tools are used to iterate and test ideas faster
• Examples shown include: different POI lighting, style swaps, meteor showers, colors, render passes, etc.
• Artists fix mistakes, remove unwanted details, and keep creative control

If you shout this into the echo chamber of AI dorks, you'll hear the term "virtue signaling" bounce back as an automated immune response.

The Walking Dead. Stranger Things. Black Panther, Ozark. The men and women who actually *made that for you* showed up at the Plaza Theater. And with one voice they said we have seen these mergers, they fired us, they forced us to sell our homes, we DO NOT WANT THIS. Video tmrw.

That's cute. The highest-grossing game company with the best-paid artists has a tool that stole all the artwork from ArtStation from their peers so they can be even more filthy rich.

Here's a look at how Epic's artists approach concept work. From blank canvas to final concepts, they sketch, block out, and refine using traditional tools and evolving ones like Nano Banana, with the artist’s vision driving the ever-evolving process from start to finish.

Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"
“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,” he said.

First look at ‘HEADS’, a new stop-motion animated film from Mackinnon & Saunders, the studio behind ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’.
The film follows a dystopian world where severed human heads can live independent from their bodies & where the poor can sell their heads.
