I am often hired in the early stages of a project to produce concept illustra-
tions that will help “sell” the pitch to potential clients or investors, and help get
the project off the ground. As you can imagine, these images are often highly
confidential and become valuable intellectual properties of the company that
has hired me.
It is, therefore, not possible to do a case study of one of the illustrations I have
produced commercially. So instead, I have chosen one of my personal projects
as a study of my workflow.
