A little Background
Well the first few backgrounds are trickling in from our insanely talented bg artist, Dan Chessher. Dan’s cut his teeth on coloring such amazing hit shows like, FAIRLY ODD PARENTS (never heard of it) and DANNY PHANTOM, a show about a dead kid or something.
(CLICK ON ALL OF THEM FOR LARGER PICTURE)
Look at the amazing candy coated colors and textures! Dan did a great job interpreting Jim Worthy’s layout and endured my endless backlash and incessant requests to change this, shade that, texure this. And then change it all back when I realized I was wrong.
I think we also get the award for longest BG pan in this Seasons batch of shorts.
Don’t you just want to lick your screen? Don’t do it though!!! You could get a mild electric shock. And people look at you really weird if you get caught. I haven’t seen Alan look at me like that since I played “Popeye the Sailorman” with a kazoo inserted in my buttocks at his wedding.
Bloggingly yours, Alan and Manny

the design of the room with the skeleton has inspired the bkgs for my short.

Stephen I haven’t forgotten your question. I will be posting something soon talking a bit about technique.

I requested the theme from “Ruff and Reddy,” so you can understand why the Popeye thing didn’t cut it.

Laugh out Loud at the open air hospital…looking good.

Yeah, we had to have that wall removed to follow the action uninterupeted into the hospital. But I guess it does look like a garage or something odd. New fangled wide mouth hospital.

Gorgeous!….Dan Chessher is a fantastic artist and a brilliant painter. How is he with a kazoo?

Guys, these are looking super!! Love the colors on the first BG!

Nice stuff! The screen is dripping with the sticky goodness these paintings ooze out. So rich and vibrant. I find myself wanting to be alone with printouts of them. Is that bad?

Beautiful…

Oh my god! I haven’t checked in on this blog for ages! That bird and bunny are sooooooooooooooooo cute. They need their own show! What are they doing there? I thought this was about doctors or dogs or something medical. I want more bunny and bird.
