Jerad Marantz Internship/Mentorship

So this upload is a little different from what I usually post. This past summer (2022) I had an amazing opportunity. Jerad Marantz, a life-long connection I have had took me under his wing and mentored me for an entire summer. I was assigned many projects and had a lot of hands on experience with how the industry works and what the industry expects out of artists. For a big chunk of it, I had to study anatomy and structure. I did tons and tons of anatomical studies and portraits. After that and at the end of the internship, I got to design some creatures alongside him. I specifically was tasked with designing Alien Outlaws that would fit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I had to go through a lot of revisions until I really figured out what Marvel would look for in 'rough sketches'. This opportunity was amazing and I had so much fun. It really helped but a lot of things into perspective for me. I am forever grateful.
