THE PREY - LEGEND OF KARNOCTUS

The Prey—a love letter to classic 1980s monster and creature-feature films—was created by the Hensman Brothers and stars Danny Trejo, Nick Chinlund, and Kevin Grevioux.

I worked on the film as the Illustrator and 2.5D Animator, designing the Art Edition poster and developing the storyboards, illustrations, and 2.5D animation for the opening and ending credits.

Here’s a preview of the opening credits sequence.

A behind-the-scenes look at the Art Edition movie poster for The Prey, showcasing sketches, rough color studies, and the evolution from concept to final rendered artwork.

Shown below is the original storyboard for the 2.5D animated opening credits. Final illustrations were developed and formatted for the 2.5D style, with edits and credit titles applied in the final stage.
