CAPCOM

I guess I should update here too. So in a weird shift of things I have gone from working on the new MegaMan tv adaption last year to now working freelance full time as a concept artist for CAPCOM directly! on an unrelated AAA game, it was originally one month that now got extended to 2 with plans to extend more if certain things out of my control happen :) Super excited to be back in video games, I used to dream about making games as a kid so it always feels really good. Hope you have awesome day! Follow me on Inprint: https://www.inprnt.com/profile/derek.weselake/ Art Station: https://www.artstation.com/artist/wez Tumblr: http://w-e-z.t

Thank you for also keeping your earliest artwork online and showing your stellar progress from manga fanart to godlike concept art. It's very interesting, impressive and encouraging.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I think it's important to have a journey to look back on, for yourself and others.

Congrats on the Capcom job. Any comissions, need some single art work. Love your work <3
