Dermot Power

Dermot Power, originally from County Waterford, Ireland, is a movie concept artist who started his career as a comic book artist working for British anthology comic 2000 AD.

Biography

He got his break in comic books when he was commissioned to do the cover of a Judge Dredd video game back in 1990. His painterly covers quickly established him as a major talent. He then worked for 2000 AD on flagship titles like Judge Dredd and Sláine up until 1997, when he successfully pursued a career in the film industry as a storyboard and concept artist.

He has served as a conceptual artist on movies such as Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Batman Begins, the Harry Potter series, and Alice in Wonderland.

He has also painted the artwork for several Batman trading cards, and a number of illustrations for the Magic: The Gathering and Warcraft card games.
