He now works as a concept artist and matte painter at RISE Visual Effects Studio.</p>\n<p>His portfolio moves comfortably between cyberpunk cityscapes, retro-futuristic automotive fantasies and hard-surface sci-fi design, all tied together by a painterly touch and a sharp eye for cinematic composition.</p>\n<p>For more of Charles Downman’s work, visit his <a
