    Illustration

    Although often mistaken for Concept Art, there's a fine line between the Production Art and Illustration. Here are a few selected samples. Among them you'll find book covers, graphic novel pinups, role play game art and a few personal pieces.

    Photography

    By no means I call myself a professional photographer, but I like to travel carrying a semi-pro camera and am pretty trigger happy. These photographs are a great source of reference and inspiration. I use them day in day out when creating matte paintings and photo-realistic concept illustrations.

    About me: Bruno Werneck

    I've been using the same bio for years. I hope you don't mind it was written in third person...

    Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Bruno has been playing with markers and crayons since little. He was given a scholarship in 1997 to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. While originally a graphic design major, he ultimately gravitated towards Traditional Animation, receiving his degree from Columbia College Chicago in 2002. Professionally, Bruno has done everything from print design to working on animated TV commercials to concepting for video games, theme parks and film. Currently, he owns a small company in Los Angeles; Filmpaint Inc., entrusted with the foremost task of bringing visions to life.
