Fanboy and Chum Chum

In the next stage in the process of creating Fanboy and Chum Chum’s Fanlair, Caesar Martinez’s designs (click here to see them) are handed over to the CG folks downstairs. Supervising Producer Jason Meier says:

“The Fanlair was modeled by Sergio Lorenzo. Textured by George Taylor and Kaz Arizona. Lighting was done by Tobias White. The Fanlair was created all in Maya and has over two gigs of textures and takes about 6-8 minutes to render. The Fanlair also gets a seperate Ambient Occlusion pass to add depth shadows which gives it its depth and rich look.”

Thanks, Jason.

Color to follow.

Coonfoot has asked to see some art of the Fanlair, home to Fanboy and Chum Chum. We’ll start off by showing five drawings by the exceptionally talented Caesar Martinez. From above to bottom, that’s Caesar’s concept, interior views two and three, a size comparison with Fanboy (using interior view #1), and an overhead map. As always, you can click through to the Flickr page for different sizes. More images to follow.

Here are a few pieces of production art of the amusement park attraction that gives the episode “Manarctica the Ride” its title. Eric’s concept is below, followed by Caesar’s Ride Station, Ext. Wide Shot, and Ext. Coaster Turn. The art above is by designed by Caesar and colored by Chad. As usual, click through for different sizes on Flickr.

A few images of the pirate ship - built as part of the Fanlair roof - made by the gang in episode #135, “Fanboy Ahoy!” The concept up top is from Steve Lambe. Below we see a compilation of images straight from Tom King’s storyboard. Beneath that is Caesar Martinez’s design. At the bottom is some color work by Chad Woods.

While a finished, rendered CG image is a bit away from completion, I figured I’d post a bunch of concept art for Yo’s bedroom from episode #138, “The Incredible Shrinking Fanboy”. The work began when Eric Robles, to whom girls’ bedrooms are unknown territory, asked Niki Yang to come up with a few ideas for the look of Yo’s room. Here you can see a pair of Niki’s original rough concepts, followed by Eric’s somewhat less roughs, and wrapped up with Caesar Martinez’s clean-ups. Then there’s Caesar’s overhead turn to help the CG group figure out what goes where (and which pieces can be re-u$ed from previous episodes). Chucked in at the bottom are also a few elements drawn by Caesar and colored Chad Woods with a little help from Kyle Neswald. The color on Caesar’s image above is also by Chad.
