RICHARD RIOS

 
I'm an artist who specializes in narrative and sequential art... basically, I thrive on drawing ideas all the way out. Advertising, film, interactive and experiential media, and occasionally animation. My BFA is in Directing, so I understand composition and creating shots that are interesting and actually shootable.

AD PORTFOLIO

Brief overview of styled boards done for various brands. From sketch to fully rendered.

"Clarice" CBS - Promo

This was a promo I worked on for CBS, with Producer Alex Kurtzman and

Director Chris Byrne; and

which premiered during the Super Bowl.

A lot was dependent on weather, and it must not have cooperated.

The final version didn't resemble this at all, but that's the biz, I guess lol.

So I cut this together because I enjoyed how it came out.
