Chris Voy designed half of the #Iacon5000 racers and their alt modes for #TranformersOne, but here are a few of mine, including #Chromia. Each character could transform 1:1, and the visors and facemasks could retract. #Transformers #conceptart

Here's a lineup of my earlier in-progress alt mode designs for #TransformersOne. The scale for the 4 main characters is based on their t-cog size and not the final #OptimusPrime #Megatron scale. @ILMVFX @CooleyUrFaceOff @ScheierJason #Transformers #conceptart

It's truly incredible that two films I've had the pleasure and honor to work on are being considered for an Oscar. Also, both being directed by inspiring humans like @CooleyUrFaceOff and @ShannonTindle_1 @JohnAoshima and animated by the legendary @ILMVFX What a time to be alive.

The awesomeness that happens when @ScheierJason and @jdjartist give #TransformersOne Airachnid a #baddassatron upgrade! This turned out so cool!!!
Another exciting assignment on Transformers One was helping in designing elements like Airachnid's security camera eyes. @artbyabc Amy Beth Christenson our lead character designer designed her character, as well as the entire lineup for TF1. After she wrapped up on the project,
