Chaos Walking: Production Artwork

Gutted space ship being scavenged through out the years.

The gutted spaceship wasn't designed from the beginning. I designed it after studying some set pieces and then reverse engineered a shape that made sense with what the production team had already built. Simplicity was what the director was looking for.

To contrast the smooth and simple shape of the main hull it was decided that all the detail would come from the gutted areas.

A crane was to be designed for the end of the film to show progress in the colonization of the planet. Having some organic designs already, the direction was to try a design that was similar but also being able to read it quickas a crane.
