PETER MCKINSTRY | CONCEPT ART & DESIGN

20+ YEARS OF CREATING WORLDS FOR MARVEL, LUCASFILM, HBO, NETFLIX, AND MANY MORE.

ABOUT ME

From a young age, I was drawn to the art of visual storytelling through films, tv, and comics. Like all kids, I loved to draw. But to me it wasn’t just a pastime; it was also an escape.

After each episode of my favourite tv shows and every trip to see the latest film at the pictures, I’d be drawing what I’d just watched, trying to capture the magic I’d seen on screen while it was still fresh in my mind.

Now, as a visual development artist and concept designer specializing in environment design, keyframes, and prop design, I work closely with production designers and directors to translate ideas from script to screen, supporting projects from early ideation through to production-ready artwork.

My recent credits include Silo, Wicked, and Star Wars: Andor. Previous work includes Game of Thrones (Seasons 4 & 5), Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 1984, Snow White and the Huntsman, and three Harry Potter films.

Earlier in my career, I spent five years contributing concept art and design for Doctor Who. A full list of film and television credits can be found below and on my IMDb page.

In addition to screen work, I’m an illustrator with clients including Penguin Random House, IDW Publishing, Dorling Kindersley, Panini Publishing, Carlton Books, and BBC Books. My illustration work spans book covers, magazine illustration, cutaways, comic covers, posters and print design, sketch cards, and logos.

I believe strong visual storytelling is central to great filmmaking, and I’m committed to creating clear, imaginative visuals that support the story and tone each production needs.
