Here’s a look back at my design and vfx work on Overlord, the thrilling WWII horror film produced by JJ Abrams and Bad Robot. This project was a wild creative ride, blending gritty war drama with supernatural terror.

Here is an in-depth look at the cinematic work for the canceled DOOM 4. This project, initiated at Janimation, was part of a high-stakes competition to secure the pre-rendered cinematic production for id Software's next installment in the legendary series.

Friday flashback to 1990 - this is on the set of Robocop 2. That’s me standing next to Robo. Randy “Oreo” Moore is a right behind me.

Throwback to working with my friend Aaron Sims on Overlord!
I had the chance to contribute to the designs and VFX for this intense project. A few of us pitched ideas for the baddie, and I was lucky enough to have one of my designs personally chosen by JJ Abrams.

I have just rendered some new turntables of my Pinky reboot. Last worked on this character during DOOM 64—this version mashes up the classic Pinkies with all the over-the-top vibes of the era.

Archie reborn!
Here’s my take on rebooting the Archvile for DOOM, modeled a few years back. I started with Adrian Carmack’s original drawing and asked myself, "What would I do with this design today?"
Bonus points if you catch the musical reference!

Now for something from this year: Here are a few monster designs for a horror short film called "What's in the Dark." Besides the design work, I took this to final in a few shots. The group that made the short film, is now looking to make it into a feature.

These renders of the Spider Mastermind are from a model I made for 3d printing a couple of years ago. It started with some photogrammetry of latex positive from the original plaster mold, and then it was cleaned up and detailed in Zbrush. #DOOM #Zbrush #Maya #Arnold #Idsoftware #retroGames #3d

Going all the way back to 1993—these are rare photos of the Demon models I created for the original DOOM.
These physical models were used to create the in-game sprites. We placed them on a rotating table to capture their poses in 360° for animation.

More Archvile goodness! Here are some renders I worked on while refining the model. I 3D printed it myself—just need to carve out some time to add paint and finish it up. Can't wait to bring this demon to life in full! 🔥👹 #DOOM #3DPrinting #VFX #GameArt

The Pinky Demon is one of DOOM’s most iconic monsters, and I had the honor of creating him for DOOM 64 (check my profile pic for a throwback!). Recently, I decided to take another stab at reimagining this beast, and here’s the result. A statue version is coming soon! 🩸👹 #DOOM #GameArt #3DDesign

In 2016, with the DOOM reboot about to drop, I couldn’t resist revisiting the Spider Mastermind I originally designed. This 3D sketch reimagines the legendary demon, exploring how its terrifying essence could evolve decades later. A blast from the past with a modern twist! #DOOM #GameArt #3DDesign

Anyone remember Ernest Scared Stupid? I was the puppeteer and uncredited voice talent for Trantor the Troll. While the voice was suposidly over dubbed at some point, I dont buy they replaced everything I did, it all sounds far too much like what I did on set. #Halloween #Puppets #Troll #MUFX

I recently revisited one of DOOM’s most chilling characters: The Archvile.
Crafting this demon for the original game was a highlight—his twisted design and terrifying powers made him unforgettable! Seeing him brought to life again was a thrill.🔥

another personal project, I don’t often get to work with Clay anymore, as most of my sculpting takes place on the computer, but for this project, I wanted to go old-school.
This is a sculpture based on my father’s demons for the artwork for the original DOOM.
