BayCon is excited to announce Artist Guest of Honor Gary Villarreal. Gary Villarreal graduated from Texas A&M University with a bachelors degree in Visualization. He is currently a full-time Concept Artist at MethodEXP and a generalist when it comes to his professional work; designing environment, vehicles, weapons and characters. However, Gary is well known for his character designs and his style rendering, often adding volume to his characters. Over the years, Gary has grown an interest in storytelling, which has given him the ability to further immerse his viewers in the fantasy worlds that his characters live in. His illustrations have been featured in the pages of 3Dtotal Sketching from the imagination: Dark Arts and Graphite Magazine.
According to Hugo-winning and former BayCon Artist Guest of Honor John Picacio, “[Gary] is going to melt peoples faces….” (we’re pretty sure in a good way).
