Client: Sony Pictures Imageworks
Director: Jake Kasdan
VFX Supervisor: Jerome Chen
Conceptual Illustrator: Daniel James Cox
Even though Sony Pictures Imageworks ultimately didn’t handle the VFX for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, I worked directly with client-side VFX Supervisor Jerome Chen early in post-production, developing design concepts for two key creatures:
The Black Jaguar – Exploring different interpretations of the mythical jungle predator.
Stampeding Rhinoceros – Ideating variations of scale, motion, and environmental interaction.
These early designs played a role in shaping the film’s creature aesthetic, serving as visual development reference for the final VFX vendors. The final frames shown below are for reference only.
