What was the deciding factor?

Hey Kienan! I was wondering if you could talk about your experience when transitioning from an interest in animation to concept art? Although it was clear that you wanted to work 2D what made you decide concept art over say storyboarding since you also did some of that at Sandman.

Do you think theres merit to the interest that initially brought you into the field in the first place? Is it dangerous to stray too far from the medium you admire? And what was the unique thing you thought you could bring into concept art?

Sorry for this loaded and confusing question. Your videos have been extremely helpful! <3
