To Your Last Death
In 2016-2018 I was working with the great team of folks from Coverage Ink on To Your Last Death (formerly known as Malevolent), the first US-animated 2D sci-fi horror movie. I was working as a line artist, background line artist and background colorist on the project. I did more than 100 backgrounds and a couple of character key frames. It was an amazing experience. The movie was released in 2019, gathering tons of great reviews and festival accolades.

Intro scene lineart by me. This was really a chore, but fun too :)
This scene was a lot of work, but I have really enjoyed the process of adding more and more detail, creating a certain mood.

Screenshot from the movie. I did some colors used in the background.
I did all the hallway paintings used in the movie. This series of 3 abstract paintings was my favorite.

Just a silly fun thing for the team, not a part of the movie :)
