Art Director/Character artist |
Thank you for visiting stonewurks.com. My name is Stone Perales and I am a Southern Californian video game and Saturday morning cartoon Art Director with 13+ years of production experience and 18 shipped titles. I have worked for Sony, EA, Interplay, and Toyota, and I am currently working for 4KIDSTV / TCDigital as an art director on the Chaotic CW saturday morning animated show and card game. 06/04/2009 Updates....Right now I am updating my page. If a link breaks, or dissapears, dont worry, just check back and it should be fixed, along with new postings of some of my recent illustrations. Now on to the tour... There are 5 different collections of art to view ranging from concepts to cartoons, a bio, and credits page. Over the course of my career in games, I have had the opportunity to be a part of many productions, and so, this site has samples from some of the many different games that I have worked on. I have been very busy over the past year and have not been updating much of my art but will be over the course of the next month. To start your tour of my site I have started with one of my most well known 3D models, the Toyota Trucks North American logo. I made it for Toyota, Saatchi and Saatchi, and Transistor Studios. This was a really fun logo to work on, and I got to meet a lot of really cool people while working on it. I was first given a line drawing of the final approved shape. I then created a textured high-res model of it while emulating the old chrome Toyota logo style. That attempt was eventually discarded after about 38 tries, each one at 5K resolution. After a few more subtle iterations, I was encouraged to take some liberties with it and put my own ideas into the surface texture by one of the Saatchi reps. This encouragement led to me quickly developing the final logo, which was made into something more rugged, trying to capture a "made in America" feel to it, with surface imperfections and oil stains. This newer “tough” approach also complemented the marketing campaign plans very well. As with all corporate logos, I met with many people along the way, taking their thoughts and concerns into mind while making this logo.
