Changin it up today with a visdev 🧵 thread with keyframes I helped paint for #TransformersEarthspark
First up is the contact sheet with some of the first pieces of artwork done for the show, close ups below:
These were the first paintings I did of the Malto Compound at different times of day.
We were aiming for Amblin/Spielberg aesthetic, especially during nighttime.
Fun Fact: I based the color of the house from my childhood home 👶
The kitchen was another important spot to highlight, especially with the Filipino Dad cooking up some delicious homecooked meals: Pancit (Noodles) and Lumpia (Eggrolls).
Then we've got some shots of the little town of Witwicky.
And these were the first story moments explored:
1. Alex meets OP 2. Shenanigans with Twitch, Thrash, Robby, & Mo 3. Battle at the bridge

Here's another background art 🧵 thread from the #RiseoftheTMNTMovie archives 🧵:
Starting off with the color key I did for the Central Room of the new Turtle’s Lair.
Fun Fact: We wanted the color Green to represent safety and protection
Here are some hookup shots:
There's one shot where Raph/Donnie/Mikey are shrouded in the light, and Leo walks off alone outside of their 'cone of safety'.
Designing color themes was always funner when we could pinpoint the story elements to represent throughout the show.
And here we have a quick key of Donnie's Lab before the alarms go off and some hookups for after:
There's always a concern of tracking colors through locations, so we had to make sure that each area has distinct color profiles, especially when you're cutting between storylines.
