About

I am a visual development artist/concept artist working in animation, games and film. I've worked on CG animated shows like Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures, and Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, and games like Call of Duty and Fortnite. I have experience designing characters, creatures, vehicles, and environments, utilizing both 2D and 3D to complete my designs tasks. I love the design process and working with teams to see a project go from initial concept through to its final animated result. www.randybantog.com Email: rbantog@gmail.com
