Welcome to the Online Home of Illustrator Craig Gilmore
Thank you for your interest in my work. I am a 33-year veteran illustrator and storyboard artist with over 70+ titles to my credit. I actively produce work worldwide for all the major motion picture, television, video game industries as well as advertising agencies, and major comic book publishers. There are a LOT of images that will be added as projects are released and I have clearances. Due to contracts and confidentiality agreements with studios some projects cannot be shown until released or aired. I will be announcing new art uploads via Twitter, Facebook or blog so keep checking in! This portfolio does not include ALL of my art produced over the years, but just a digestible sample of some of my favorite projects and to give a good indicator of what I can bring to your projects.
I am currently based in Bolivia, NC. I am a local to the Wilmington work area and also actively work in the rest of the southeast area including Charleston, SC and Atlanta and Savannah, Ga. I normally work from my home studio; however, I have a studio KIT that is completely mobile for extended on location as well as remote productions worldwide. NOTE: I am fully COVID vaccinated which makes it easy to work on location when needed.
I use (or have used) the following software applications in my work process and these tools make is extremely easy to work remotely and via internet:
- Adobe Photoshop (mainly use)
- Adobe Fresco
- Corel Painter (mainly use)
- Adobe Premiere
- Adobe After Effects
- Manga Studio Pro
- Art Rage
- Sketchbook Pro
- SketchUp
- and MY FAVORITE of ALL…good old pencil/paper/ink/brush/markers which I use for all of my personal work, commission work and instances that call for it on shows (i.e. props).
Since I utilize a combination of digital and traditional methods in my work, it is usually drawn first on paper and then transferred to digital files for editing and/or coloring. For digital drawing and painting I use a Wacom Cintiq 22 HD touch monitor or an Wacom Intuos pad.
Please Note: I am a union artist. I prefer to work only on union organized projects and shows with signatory companies. My union is I.A.T.S.E. With regards to the projects I take on, I am interested in conceptual illustration, poster illustration, and SHOOTING boards (meaning quick and sketchy live action work with most of the work focusing on storytelling).
I am available for commissions upon request. Rates vary depending on the type of piece you want.
