PREDATOR tribute piece
PREDATOR — Tribute Illustration
This piece is a stylized tribute to one of the most iconic action films of the 1980s. The goal was to capture the raw intensity, camaraderie, and looming threat that defined the original Predator while reinterpreting it through a bold, graphic, vector-driven approach.
Built with a limited color palette and strong silhouette hierarchy, the composition leans into a poster-style aesthetic—clean, readable, and impactful at any scale. Each character was carefully constructed to maintain likeness while pushing into a more unified, stylized form that supports both print and merchandise applications.
As with much of my work, this piece balances illustration with production in mind—ensuring it not only looks strong visually, but also translates cleanly across multiple formats, from screen to apparel.…PREDATOR — Tribute Illustration

COMIC STRIP SAMPLES
This collection showcases a series of comic strips created entirely in vector format, allowing every element—characters, backgrounds, and props—to be fully separated and repurposed as needed. Because the artwork is vector-based, it is infinitely scalable without any loss of quality, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, from digital media to large-scale print and production.
These samples represent just one stylistic direction. With over 20 years of experience in illustration and design, I am able to adapt to virtually any style or medium, delivering custom visuals tailored to specific branding, storytelling, or marketing needs.
