Design aHorror CreatureThat DefinesYour Portfolio
6-week creature design mentorship for 3D & 2D artists
Does your portfolio still not get the attention it deserves?
For many artists, the biggest thing holding them back is the quality of the finish. Especially in the things like attention to detail, clarity, contrast.
They are easy to miss when you’re working on your own as a beginner. Without feedback from someone in the industry, it’s hard to even know what to look for.
Your pipeline simply doesn’t reflect real industry needs
A lot of artists don’t realise what being a professional concept artist really involves.
It’s about generating ideas — and doing it fast.
That’s why you need a hybrid 2D/3D workflow
A workflow for creating cinematic images that grab your attention and linger.
And for repeating that process fast enough, so it works in a real production setting.
That’s exactly what you will learn in this mentorship.
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.
And I will teach you the exact workflow I use every day
