Piano Man

Just some quick colour I did to re-vamp an old sketch that I had done a while ago. I wanted to play around a bit with a somewhat mono-chromatic theme...

Memories of Gerald McB...

Often when I do the line art for a given production I have a vision in my head of what I would love to do with the colour. Usually it goes off to a colour stylist to paint and it comes back well done, but rarely how I pictured it.
I decided a while back to sit down and tackle some of these designs and paint them how I originally envisioned them.
This is the first re-work from a while ago from Gerald McBoing-Boing. Season One I think...

Yay Jimmy!

Alright, so most of the last year has been spent working on and lovingly caressing Jimmy Two-Shoes. Created by Sean Scott, and slaved over by countless fantastic animators and artists. Of course my input was on the Design front and I was lucky enough to be joined by the beautifully moustachioed Kyle Marshall and Darren Ward. (...Only Kyle had a moustache though.) Check out their Blogs BTW. Now, location design is creative enough on it's own, but thanks to the persistence of Sean Scott and Jeff Barker I was able to dabble and later jump right into the colour end of things. I owe a lot to them. Any way, enough blather. Needless to say it was a very satisfying experience. Here are some colour thumbs I did during pre-production...

Flying Monk...

This is my first attempt at an Illustrator character that I did for an idea that didn't quite pan out. I like the guy, the idea fizzled though.
