Sly Cooper

This week Sony released Sly Cooper 4 for PS3, which I was lucky enough to be a part of.  Ghostbot produced all the 2D animated cut-scenes for the game.  I did color-styling, background design and composite for the majority of the animation.  Early on I got a chance to design my take on the character.  At the time he was looking a little different in the game and my design sorta reflects that -- a little old looking -- but it was fun to get a chance to do some character design.

For the promotion of the game Ghostbot made an animated short to lead into the game.  You can see it here:



My color script for the short ( Panel drawings by director Alan Lau):

The short gave me a chance to use CG to assist on designing the Bgs since we spent a lot of time in many of the locations.  I was happy with how the hallway turned out:

I'll post more stuff in the coming weeks from the actual game.  I want to give players the time to discover the animation for themselves.

 Decided to take a really old thumbnail and spice it up some.  I hope you like.

Cntl-Heart-Delete Color

Last year Ghostbot asked me to do some color for an in-house project.  I was really happy with the results.  Here are some of the panels I worked on.  The board drawings were all by the talented Alan Lau.

 

The final cartoons did not have any of these moments in them, but are still super cute and fun. 

Where is my Heart?

I'm loving this game!

Spaceman

More aimless painting!!! Used Sketchbook Pro's symmetrical setting to make the figure. Background and textures added in Photoshop.

Zombie

Got some time to just play around in Photoshop. (I know... crazy right?) Tried using a few new brushes I designed... I had zero plan... just went super fast and sloppy... and was done in just over an hour...



I plan to do more of this sorta stuff this year... just post more in general... and experiment!!!
