It's been a joy and an honor to be working on AstroBoy with an amazing crew. AstroBoy is production designed by Sam Michlap and Art Director Jake Rowell, and our Character Designer is Luis Grane. Felix Ip is overseeing the production end and he's great. After viewing some finished scenes in the movie, I have to say I'm pretty excited. It's due out in 2009 and I can't wait to see it all done.
Here are my first attempts at matte painting. I was watching Peter Jackson's King Kong the other night and was inspired to create my own clip. Very crude, but alot of fun. The giant rocks in the painting were all from one image. I truly admire and respect all those damn great matte painters who make it look so easy.
