Eddie del Rio

Eddie del Rio is a concept artist based in the San Francisco area. He has worked for Lucas Arts, Activision, 2K, Disney and THQ; and now, he is currently freelancing for games, films and TV.

Since he was young two interests filled his life: Star Wars and comics. Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Jhonson, concept artists of most of Star Wars scenes, have been his idols and now he is one of their best colleagues.
His works show space battles, giant robots, super heroes, space ships and gorgeous landscapes.
All of them leave you speechless, fascinated by those rich paintings with great attention to incredible details.
In order to be a good concept artist, having a solid will is not simply enough. Strong design ability, big passion and great fantasy are required, and Eddie del Rio is brimming with these qualities. None of his creations are banal, featureless or anonymous. Colors, shadows, characters, landscapes, lines… anything is perfectly mixed to create works of pure design.
Have a look and enjoy!
