Artist's Comments

WB Product Art, The Basilisk, HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS. Pencil.

This puppy was a real pill. I had to render it as the preproduction department on the film finalized their designs, and well before post-production worked their magic. It was a major frustration having to guess what this beastie would finally look like, and be critiqued harshly for guessing wrong. I'm still not a good mind-reader. One iteration had the producer exclaiming that the creature rendered didn't "look" 70 feet long. Thanks for telling me! lol

THEN, after I did a tight clean-up, ready for inks, word came that they added spikes to the overgrown guppy's spine! GAHH!!! After rendering ALL THOSE SCALES?!!! Grrrrrr....! Where's my electric eraser? lol

Video games don't affect kids.If Pacman had affected us a skids we'd be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music

Yeah, the big snake was well done... but out of the entire series so far, I gotta give it up for the Hungarian Horntail. Buckbeak's a close second, mainly because, having seen the preproduction drawings, I wasn't convinced they could make him work.
The all-time CG greats in my book are still the dinos in the first Jurassic Park, the bugs in Starship Troopers, Peter Jackson's Kong, his Shelob and Balrog from LOTR, and the greatest of all, Gollum.

I agree with Gollum and the dinos in JP. I haven't seen LOTR yet...I'm not sure I have the attention span to sit through them...I'll check out those scenes though.
