Phil Guo

Description

Through reverse-engineering the visual style of Japanese Anime, I have distilled their most distinctive features and have built an efficient workflow enable visual designers to create them. Using a combination of modern photorealistic 3D renderers and creative code, the creation process of Japanese Anime art becomes more automated and hand-painting free.
