Lach's IDea-Ology
I bring a strong core of artistic and creative skills and vision to the concept art, illustration, 3d modelling, and 3d animation I have created throughout my career..
I am dedicated to creating original visions full of life and imagination, that communicate and resonate, and whether in animation, concept art or illustration my goal is to engage, to create immersion and maintain the suspension of disbelief.
I love to create stories in my work, and create images that contain and are grown from fresh ideas.
I love the power of ideas and thoughful design to overcome and explain constraints, and create rich, beautifully woven, self consistent fantasies.
Things are fresh at the source, and accordingly wherever possible I try to research and observe from nature to learn the visual truths. I try to learn not only what things look like or move like, or how they function, but why and how and then use this to inform and enrich my work.
