The Art Of Christian Pearce - Elysium And Beyond

(Via)

Christian Pearce is a veteran visual designer/concept artist over at New Zealand's famous WETA workshop, which attracts some of the brightest designers and artists in the world, who in turn contribute their creativity to the film industry's needs. How much experience are we talking? 12 years, which has allowed him to contribute to some of the most groundbreaking films in recent memory from a visual standpoint.

Among the films he's contributed to: King Kong, District 9, Avatar, the Narnia series, The Adventures of Tintin and most recently Elysium. His WETA work could best be described as very production oriented, created using a series of time saving techniques considering the crunch and deadlines these professionals face. His personal work shows off a more playful side, and his love of warplanes, muscle cars and beyond. Check out more of his awesome work after the break, including a few cool ship designs from Elysium.
