from The NerdGen Report · host Pablo I Solano

We go behind the curtain with prop artist/specialty 3D modeler Darrell Maloney, how he broke into Marvel during COVID, what it’s really like building guns, masks, and hero jewelry, and why the “Marvel machine” still leaves room for creativity. Plus: the uncomfortable truth about how fast AI is swallowing concept art jobs.Darrell Maloney's Portfolio and YouTube Channelhttps://www.darrellmaloneyart.com/projectshttps://www.youtube.com/@UCRu7P5s0FToOgSIUkv7kOvg
