Karl L.
Concept Designer for Film, Games and Advertising.
I’m a Senior Concept artist and Art Director with a background in feature film and video games. I spent over a decade at Industrial Light & Magic/Lucasfilm, and over the past several years have continued working across film projects in Los Angeles focused on cinematic worldbuilding and grounded, story-driven design working on project such as Venom: The Last Dance, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Predator: Badlands, Predator: Killer of Killers, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and God of War (and a few more titles by Sony Santa Monica not yet announced). My work has focused primarily on character and creature design, costume exploration, keyframes, and visual development. I enjoy creating grounded, atmospheric worlds and collaborating with teams to help bring a strong visual identity to a project.
