Jerad S. Marantz

Creature / Character / Concept Artist

Jerad S. Marantz has worked in the film, game, and television industries for over 20 years. He began his career interning with special effects studios at an early age, exploring a variety of roles before focusing on character and creature design. His expertise in sculpture, painting, illustration, ZBrush, and Photoshop informs his distinctive design approach.


Jerad’s credits span major films and games, including Predator: Badlands, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Callisto Protocol, Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Shazam!, Dune, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Deadpool 2, and Gears of War, among many others.

  • I always look forward to Jerad’s creatures. He’s got a unique and realistic design style that is a great balance between fantasy and function. You believe these creatures were alive at some point. He has a raw talent and understanding of imagination, mixed with that human touch that you don’t find in most creature designers. Jerad is a pure creature designer to the core, look at his sketches and you can see it there first.
