When the creature design and armor elements were approved, we made some images to pitch the idea of putting the performer’s head underneath the creature’s, yielding a more arched, animalistic posture for a “wilder” character… I was elated when they went this a fantastic vision for a seriously brutal character… we spent a long time on armor before it was decided that the character probably wouldn’t have any… not his style… too much pride…Īnd fun fact… the Feral subspecies is omnivorous… crushing palate in the back of the mouth yields a diverse diet…īy the way I should specify, we were holding off on color design still, so he is zbrush-colored with markings here and there…Though admittedly the grey was starting to grow on me heheh… Tom Woodruff had a sick idea for a “Grey Ghost” Predator variant…įurther elaborating to a fan when asked about the sub-species comment, Vincent remarked that: Michael Vincent, who also previously worked with ADI designing the Predator Dogs and hybrid creatures for The Predator, took to Twitter to share more concept art of the Feral Predator’s unmasked appearance along with commentary on the design process! Thanks to letting us run feral on this one. Chemotactility? Not a topic for polite conversation. I’ve always loved biologically plausible creatures so any concept artist who enjoys talking about viper sensor pits and secondary faces hidden in plain sight on tigers is okay by me.ĭon’t get me started on communicating through pheromones or the difference between squid tentacles and arms. We’ve worked with Michael on a few projects and I always have a blast with him. The Bone mask started as a cool 3D sculpt by then molded by a clay copy created, then detailed by sculptors Joey Orosco, the mask illumination wasn’t actually seen in the finished film, another post from Alec demonstrated that the masks used in production all had the capability! Alec also shared a post with concept artwork of Feral’s unmasked face by creature designer Michael Vincent. I’ve been trying to find a place for this beauty in a design for years! It had its day here. I had the pleasure of art directing an amazing team of concept artists including for earlier iterations, including an internally illuminated bone mask. The Feral Predator’s bone mask was a notion that PREY director thought would make for a nice variation on the traditional Predator bio mask. While we’ve been seeing a lot of behind-the-scenes pictures and videos of Prey following the films release, we’ve been waiting patiently the concept art to start dropping so we can see some of the directions that were explored in the development of Dan Trachtenberg’s amazingly successful Prey! And now the time has come!Īlec Gillis, formerly of StudioADI, kicked things off with these concepts for what is now becoming a very iconic mask.
