Peter Chung Peter Chung Peter Chung ( born April 19 , 1961 in Seoul , South Korea ) is a Korean American animator . He is best known as the creator and director of Æon Flux , which ran as shorts on MTV 's Liquid Television before launching as its own half-hour television series . He studied animation at CalArts . Chung 's directing credits include the Matriculated segment from The Animatrix , and , most recently , The Chronicles of Riddick : Dark Fury . Chung served as lead character designer for two animated series , Phantom 2040 and Reign : The Conqueror . Both series feature lean angular characters inspired by the art of Egon Schiele , a look which has become Chung 's trademark character design . He also , along with Arlene Klasky and Gabor Csupo , co-designed the characters in the Nickelodeon series Rugrats , as well as directed the pilot for this series , `` Tommy Pickles And The Great White Thing '' . Chung 's animation , particularly Æon Flux and Matriculated , tends toward the artistically and thematically experimental and is an example of progressive animation . Chung 's stylistic influences uniquely include European expressionism such as Moebius combined with Japanese animation . Currently , among other unannounced projects , he is working on new direct-to-video episodes of Æon Flux and a full-length animated feature entitled Luvula . Peter Chung was married in 2005 .
