Over the course of 2005-2008, I assisted Art Asylum, designing production control art for various projects, most notably their Minimates line. This involved turnaround views for every part of the figure that was to be included in the final product, along with any surface artwork that needed to be applied.
As is the case with many of my Minimate projects, I was approached to design a Gorn Minimate since I had previous experience designing aliens and complicated outfit designs. The Gorn was very fun to work on, and I especially enjoyed capturing the pattern on the tunic. The fact that the Gorn has such a cult following was an added bonus.
While the photos shown here on the site represent the finished figure, it should be noted that I contributed the control art only. As with all of the Minimate projects, there were many talented people involved: production managers, sculptors, other designers… This figure was very much a team effort, and the finished product reflects the contributions of many individuals.
