He decided to follow a Hollywood career path after getting struck by lightening and realising how precious his life actually was so did what he always wanted to do.
Scheurer is influenced by places he gets to work in, as well as art exhibitions and unusual areas such as abandoned factories and warehouses.

He favours matte paints and does a lot of painting. He also does technical and mechanical drawings. I particularly like his concept paintings for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within as they have great depth.
I also really like the creature designs he did for the Spore game as they are original and show the evolution of a character idea. Spore was also one of Scheurer’s favourite projects he worked on. He also enjoys observing people and drawing them and their environments.
