Now that Pacific Rim Uprising has released in theaters, concept artwork from the film's early development stages are beginning to surface online! Today we're thrilled to debut some Pacific Rim 2 concept art by Finnian MacManus:
This was a tough shot as the client wanted some really skewed/intense perspective, but was really fun to execute. Basically, the idea is to show Gypsy getting smacked by the recently risen mega kaiju.
Here is the first keyframe I worked on at ILM more than 2 years ago now (wow time flies!) a fun shot of Hibagon vs Gypsy.
We sourced this artwork from hisĀ ArtStation page. Thanks to Alex Valdez for the link!
