I haven't look at the reviews yet, but man, before I got this job, I met this really cocky dude who worked design on transformers. I remember thinking damn! that's what I want to do! and as if Guillermo himself has heard me, he offered be a job 2 days later via a phone call.

Thank you! Guillermo Del Toro wanted a believable world that felt much like our daily lives and not too far in the future. we based our designs on real world locations and a lot of the inspiration really just come from real life but made to look bigger. The visual style established by Guillermo really brings out the best kind of freedom a designer can hope for. The team had a lot of fun exploring larger than life designs, and effectively bedding them in reality, that came to be a a major design philosophy I followed on the show.

Oh man he is just SOOO fantastic and humbling. The first time he went into my office about a week after I started he actually remembers our meeting at FanExpo, and thanked me for coming on-board the show. I mean REALLY? YOU are Guillermo Del Toro, and I'm a punk ass kid, as if I would say no. I mean he is the whole reason why I'm even in the feature film industry. had Guillermo not looked at my artworks or ask me for my card during FanExpo I would probably still be running Sub-B level games right about now. Talking to the guy is surreal at first, but he is so calm and humble that the star struck feel is more or less diffused a minute into the conversation. Guillermo just feel like a really good boss to have, genuine and charming. He would curse and joke with the team during meetings, and always got a big Del Toro smug to lighten the mood. Plus, he really like my drawings, how crazy is that?

because if we don't support the new entertainment titles like this one and vote with our wallets we'd go right back to grown-ups 3-4-5, and I'll be damned to concept any baby diapers.
