The Lego Movie 2

I was hired by Warner Animation Group to develop some lead character designs during the script development phase of the Lego Movie 2. Working closely with the film's director, I created a bunch of designs while the characters changed as the story was written. A very exciting process to be a part of.

Seen here are the designs I created for Rex Dangervest.
Princess Merpony

Later in the process, I was tasked with coming up with some preliminary designs for a character called Princess Merpony. I didn't have a lot to go on at the time, so I literally starting creating a pony/mermaid character before moving on to an 'undersea warrior'. This was a lot of fun.
Logos

I created some very early versions of the Lego Movie 2 film logo. Judging by what the final logo looks like, I can only assume these were used internally at WB.
All work here was created for Warner Animation Group.
