I create concepts for initial character designs. This includes faces, bodies, color and bioluminescence patterns for the Sullys and other main characters.The greatest challenge in this is translating an actor's likeness into a Na'vi, which then allows James Cameron to mould and develop into a relatable character.

Some of my first Na'vi character designs were reviewed by James Cameron on my birthday in 2005 and published in The Art of Avatar book in 2009.
What's a fun fact about yourself?
