ROCKETFICTION

This was a piece of animation development art from a while back, colorized it a little, just to give it a light frosting!

This was a bg test for an animated series, searching for stylistic treatment. The brief as far as I recall was only for a high-tech lab, with counters, creature tank, etc…

This was a piece of advertising art, portraying a proposed simulation ride…

Unrelated to anything whatsoever, except digging through my files for something to post, here’s an old print ad comp which still makes me smile. The concept was created by Malcolm Roberts , the campaign having something to do with a food product which would make tuna less boring.

And we all know how boring tuna can be if you are trapped in the window seat on an overnight flight and that damn tuna won’t stop telling you his life story, in excruciating detail and monotone voice…

Too bad they never made the ad, as far as I know.

An example of the bg design work I’ve been doing for the Warner Brothers series Batman: Brave and the Bold.

I found these in my archives, yellowed pages from a newsletter or publication whose name is sadly forgotten–my apologies. In the hope that they might mean something to some of you, I post them here. How much of this critique applies to today’s comics scene? How much has changed since he wrote this in the 1970’s?

These were rough designs done for Warner Brothers’ Superman series, back in 1996. They were exploratory roughs for the planet “Almerac”, and I was asked to go in a sort of Jack Kirby direction with the styling. That’s about all I recall…I scanned these off the only record I had of them, which was some old thermal fax copies of the original pencil drawings.

… a series of fascinating posts by Colleen Doran.

By popular demand–more drawing talk!
