Kilian Eng was asked by director Ayoub Qanir to help create/illustrate concept work for his mind-bending action feature film Koyakatsi.
Synopsis: A malignant computer worm has been discovered, initially spreading through personal computer software then gradually subverting high priority industrial systems. This never-before-seen malware is carrying a programmable logic controller infecting critical locations and strategic global military sections. Subsequently, different variants of the virus have targeted over seven nuclear power-plants in China, United States and Russia shutting down their isotope reactors. The virus has also penetrated top international intelligence organizations corrupting their mainframes and databases.
Early research and diagnostics of the viral threat have shown no traces of origin. World leaders having declared full military alert, have deployed top secret intelligence forces to track down the source of this unique danger. With most world government organizations in chaos, a group leader from JASON--a top secret, independent team of scientists--Ralph Cole has emerged with a possible lead that he kept confidential. Ralph secretly requested one man, his son Kyle Cole--A retired Navy Seals’ Special Intelligence Forces to further investigate the threat.

Wired Magazine's Money 2025 money issue, aptly titled "It's a Rich Man's World," as imagined by artist Lisa Sheehan. How did she bring this piece to life? In her own words: "To make the credit card as authentic as possible I redrew the American Express pattern in Illustrator with the WIRED headline included. The card was then created in Cinema 4D and I drew the etching of Trump in photoshop. This all came together and was animated to give the feel of an apple pay screen. This was a multi disciplined approach, 2D textures drawn and then rendered in 3D." You can check out the animated piece and more of Lisa's work here.
