Become industry-ready with the exact workflow used by a Hollywood concept artist.
Only 6 spots remaining. Save $300 until June 30, 2025.
Does Your Portfolio Still Go Unnoticed?
There are usually two reasons why:
1. Your art lacks the final level of polish
Your portfolio doesn’t stand out among hundreds of other applicants due to the quality of the finish: clarity, detail, contrast — the kind of refinement that usually comes only with years of experience.
2. Your workflow isn’t production-ready.
A lot of artists don’t realise what being a professional concept artist really involves. It’s about generating ideas — and doing it fast.
Here’s How You’ll Fix Both in Just 6 Weeks:
✓ Learn the hybrid 2D/3D workflow used by a Hollywood concept artist
✓ Create a polished, portfolio-ready centerpiece that showcases your strengths
✓ Get personal feedback on your work and guidance from an industry veteran
My Name is Peter Ocampo — I Create Monsters for movies
Like many artists today, I have a very versatile skillset. I spent years in 3D and VFX, working across roles and pipelines.
But! I learned to combine everything I knew — from sculpting to compositing — into a concept art workflow that blends ZBrush, Blender, and Photoshop.
I’m Best Known for My Work on:
Annihilation (Alex Garland)
Thor: Ragnarok (Marvel Studios)
Doctor Who (BBC)
Inception (Christopher Nolan)
The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan)
Before going freelance, I spent 13 years at DNEG London — one of the top VFX studios in the world, helping bring award-winning films to life.
This is the Kind of Art I Live to Create
Dark, grounded, and cinematic creatures that persist in your mind.

What Past Students are Saying
Got Questions? Let’s Clear Them Up
If you’re unsure whether this mentorship is right for you, these are the most common questions I get — along with straight answers.
Perfect — so was I. This mentorship leans on your 3D strengths. As long as you’re comfortable using ZBrush (or similar), you’ll be able to follow the workflow. The paintover stage is just one part of the process, and I’ll guide you through it step by step.
That’s totally fine. A big part of this workflow is kitbashing — not painting from scratch. It’s the same approach I used when designing the Bear in Annihilation, and it’s what makes this method fast, flexible, and accessible.
That’s exactly why this mentorship exists. Instead of wasting time second-guessing your next step, you’ll get direct feedback from me every week — so you’re never stuck or spinning your wheels.
No promises — that’s just the reality of today’s industry. But what I can promise is that this mentorship will help you unify your skills into a standout portfolio piece. Think of it like combining all the little seedlings into one strong, visible tree.
No worries. You get lifetime access to all materials, and I’ll help you set a realistic pace. Some students finish their final piece during the mentorship, while others keep refining it after with my guidance.
