Michael Pedro – Designer

Published sci-fi illustrator and concept designer. I specialize in crafting dynamic, immersive worlds for entertainment media.

Overview

I am a Florida-based Art Director/Illustrator/Concept Designer with 20+ years of experience across Games, Animation, and Film. Previous credits include high-profile sci-fi franchises such as DOOM and HALO. I've had artwork published in a number of acclaimed art books such as EXOTIQUE 6, SPECTRUM 17, EXPOSE 9, ART OF THE DRAGON, Awakening: The Art of Halo 4, and EXPOSE 11.

There's a very real enjoyment to be found in capturing the essence of a written work in the imagery that represents it. After two decades of working with creatives in multiple industries, I'm very adept at collaborating with clients to ensure their vision is represented to the fullest by unique design and stunning illustration.
