I’ve been working in films TV and games for 35+ years. I started out my career doing make up effects before making the leap to CGI in the late 90s. I’ve worked on such projects as Nightmare on Elm Street2, RoboCop, DOOM, Borderlands, Eternals and morehttps://bsky.app/profile/gregorpunchatz.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/gregorpunchatz.bsky.social/post/3lkvvcf53k22rIn 2022, I started sculpting one of my dad’s DOOM demons as a tribute to his iconic box art. Life (and a move to Texas) put it on hold, but I’m hoping to finish it soon in a new studio. Stay tuned! 👹🔥 #DOOM #GameArt #Sculpting youtu.be/gaatbrkDlCo https://youtu.be/gaatbrkDlCo21 Mar 2025 18:56 +0000at://did:plc:laygbbe3pjs5woryqvucv35e/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkvvcf53k22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/gregorpunchatz.bsky.social/post/3lktsluvii22oIn 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to design and create the monster for the horror short film In the Dark. This creature exists in the shadows—only visible when the lights go off. I handled all the CG and compositing to bring this nightmare to life. youtu.be/5lKJlhXmW8s https://youtu.be/5lKJlhXmW8s20 Mar 2025 23:03 +0000at://did:plc:laygbbe3pjs5woryqvucv35e/app.bsky.feed.post/3lktsluvii22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/gregorpunchatz.bsky.social/post/3lhmg3ljz6k2lSometimes it's monsters, sometimes it's cute bears... www.artstation.com/artwork/lGOYgk https://www.artstation.com/artwork/lGOYgk07 Feb 2025 20:14 +0000at://did:plc:laygbbe3pjs5woryqvucv35e/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhmg3ljz6k2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/gregorpunchatz.bsky.social/post/3lhh742xmp22q@superactionfunboy.bsky.social Did you work on the new Jurassic Park movie?

Here’s my take on rebooting the Archvile for DOOM, modeled a few years back. I started with Adrian Carmack’s original drawing and asked myself, "What would I do with this design today?"

Besides the design work, I took this to final in a few shots. The group that made the short film, is now looking to make it into a feature. #horror #Creepy #Zbush #Maya #3dart21 Nov 2024 19:22 +0000at://did:plc:laygbbe3pjs5woryqvucv35e/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbi6r7usz224https://bsky.app/profile/gregorpunchatz.bsky.social/post/3lbi4tlnmg224These renders of the Spider Mastermind are from a model I made for 3d printing a couple of years ago.
