carlos huante



I just love this guy. Carlos Huante is known for his conceptual art and fantasy illustrations. I think the most prominent of his contributions is for the Men in Black movies, where his imagination and concepts bring the alien creatures to life.






Carlos has a very strange sense of anatomy that not only is dynamic and surreal but correct as well, as with all good illustrators. His approach to building a character is by loosely shaping the muscles and the posture of the figure before going all out into developing the musculature of his designs. this he does boldly and stongly and his shading is close to impeccable for only a sketch.






His visions are twisted and distorted but they have a certain appeal to them, of beauty. I like how he plays with the human anatomy, contorting it in a way that is unreal yet real at the same time. The amount of effort he spends in developing his characters is inspiring.
