Visual development usually starts here, on the
drawing board. Ninth Ray can provide creative
designs for virtually every aspect of your project:
character, creatures, costumes, cultures,
environments, and technology, including
vehicles, props, and weapons, as well as
character expression sheets and othographics.

The design process moves into three dimensions
with the creation of realistic sculptures and
models, which we recommend as an essential
companion to concept art, and as a tool to help
crew and clients visualize key elements and
set pieces. These can also be used as preliminary
models for cyberscanning and the creation of
digital models..

Coming from the traditional world of animation,
story artists help visualize and expand stories,
ideas, and concepts, functioning as storyboard
artists and collaborators in the storytelling
process itself. All Ninth Ray Story Artists are
skilled directors, storytellers, and illustrators,
able to create a visual script from the sketchiest
of outlines, or discover hidden treasures in
your finished screenplay.
