“Nick has been creating
fantastic designs for the entertainment industry
since he graduated from the Art Center College of Design
in 1990. I always
wondered how he applied a unique form language to a range
of creatures,
vehicles and architecture. These DVDs reveal his inspiring
process,
including some of the Photoshop rendering techniques that
make him one of
the world's top concept artists.”

The ultimate goal for the concept
artist is to create an individual artistic design language
that is unique to them. Nick’s demo takes the viewer
through the process he uses to get as close to this goal as
possible. The ephemeral nature of this subject is discussed
within the framework of historical context. Inspiration sources
and methods for cleansing the mind and body are shown, and
a hands-on process is demonstrated. Over 140 pages of sketches
lead to 6 pencil rendered images that define a novel look and
form that can be applied to a wide variety of designed objects.
