Valemon

Valemon is a feature-film being produced at Creature and  StudioSouza in Brussels. In preproduction a couple of artists contributed some inspirational artwork. In production itself, I started by supervising all the modelsheets based on designs by Sunniva Fluge Hole. I helped develop the main characters further and did a couple of designs myself. 

When that was done, i joined the lay-out team, supervised by Marcus Hoogveld. This time the layouts were not supposed to be very detailed. Especially nature could be left to the imagination of the background painters. The architecture had to be more defined. Quick greyscales were put in place to clarify the drawings.

I then joined the BG-painting team. I made the color-keys for a couple of sequenses and painted a lot of BGs for the film. The style was quite rough and sketchy with visible brushstrokes and detail being insinuated rather than being fully painted. Sylvie Lacroix did the BG-supervision. The art director was Alejandro Diaz.
