About
I’m Leland Rankin, an environment visual-development and imaging artist in the Reno-Sparks area, focused on photoreal, cinematic worldbuilding and source-aware set extension. My work emphasizes real-world logic—camera composition, geography, hydrology, lighting, atmosphere, and occlusion—so environments feel grounded while still delivering the clarity and visual targets production needs.
I balance artistic iteration with disciplined visual QA, drawing on my production background in quality control, troubleshooting, maintenance, and high-throughput manufacturing. Whether I’m building large-scale civilization environments or refining controlled photographic transformations for delivery in 4K/8K, print, email, and short review motion, I aim for efficient revisions, strong comparisons, and dependable results.
