After my undergrad, I was hired by Floyd County Productions to paint backgrounds for a new show called “Archer.”

Winner of a 2016 Prime Time Emmy Award for Best Animated Series.

visual development

Our visual development had to be very fast. Sometimes less than a day turnaround. I used a combination of googled assets and hand drawing photoshopped together to make a lot of the work below. Our visual development drawings were sent off to the 3D department to model and render out in accordance with the storyboards. After the renders were completed, background artists followed a strict painting process to achieve the final look in a consistent manner. You will notice a lot of notes that are specifically for the 3D department on how things function or where they can pull assets off of other shows.

Art of Archer Book Cover

One of my favorite collaborations while working on Archer, was getting tasked to help create “The Art of Archer” book cover with Neal Holman. I got some bonus features inside the book including one of my backgrounds as a centerfold.
