Some of the movies he’s worked on include Prince of Persia, GI Joe and the 7th and 8th Harry Potter flicks. And games? Most of them are still locked away under NDA, but one we can look at is Quantic Dream’s PS3 thriller Heavy Rain.
Baranger completed dozens of beautiful concept paintings for the game, helping establish not just the look of Heavy Rain, but its mood as well.
You can see a selection of these in the gallery above, while there are examples of his other work at his personal site, linked below.
