Toy Sub In Giant Fish

Here's another black prismacolor on vellum. I spent a little less time on this one and held back on the details. It's a toy sub inside a giant fish and some might wonder where the light is coming from??? but since it's probably pitch black inside a fish and we needed some light, I chose to ignore the logic and concentrate on the mood.

Just added the latest version after foolin' around with it a bit more at work.

jejeje, thanx hans for your last comments...but i think the color is still too hard in some parts and too washed in another ones (sorry people, i'm talking about my work) i'm starting with an easier one, with less color latitude, more defined shadows, etc.

about your sketches, i didn't realize about the unreal light until you said it, but it stills look awesome... maybe the second one has more realistic lights, they may come for the fish mouth... now i'm takin a second look at your images.. the upper fish could be stabbed or something...

anyway, i think it says what you wanted to say...

Great job Hans. I like the assorted lures that are hooked in the mouth. It really helps emphasize the size of the fish. It looks great. Is this for any project in particular, or just for fun? Take care.

Hey Hans! I know its basically the same thing every time...and Im sure your not gonna be surprised..

HOLLLEEEE SHIZZLE period

The bird and character designs are fantastic! And the mood you captured in this one is awesome. One day I hope I can tackle environments and composition half as nicely.

Thanks for the nice comments guys....you're the best!;)

el leo: I like the idea with the stabbed fish:D One of my colleagues actually suggested that too.

Virginiajoe: This one is actually for a CG film, so it'll all be modelled in 3D

Henry: Yes, this is for a studio CG film I'm currently working on. Don't wanna get in trouble so I can't say much more than that.

Karen: Jeg kan forestille mig det kan vaere lidt distraherende med 2 mennesker inde i maven! Jeg godtager undskyldningen;) Faktisk skal jeg designe baade en stor fisk og en hval set indefra, saa der kan desvaerre ikke vaere lufthul i dem begge, men godt foreslag:)

Mel: Thanks:) it's a pleasure everytime bro and always motivating!

Thanks again everybody and have a great day:)

Hans,
Thanks for all the kind words. I wish DW put outmore than just one art of book as the talent on that campus is out of this world.... great people and incredible art. I finally parted ways with DW last summer to help build a new animation company called IDT Entertainment. I'm having a blast and since it's small, at the moment, we all feel very invested in the films... hopefully we can inspire. I love the enregy of your work and the fact that it really looks like you are having fun doing them.
Thanks again, Sam

Thanks for posting your preliminary work, as well as your finished pencils. They all look amazing, but somehow get progressively better. Your Bluejay is a amazing too! I should say it's my favorite-- it's all amazing! Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us.

And one suggestion, could you put a glow-in-the-dark toy such as a dinosaur, super-bouncing ball, or something of the sort in there to give it the light you're looking for. Or could the light be coming from exterior lamps on the sub itself? Just some thoughts, though it looks amazing without changing a thing. Fantastic!

maybe it could be a blowhole if it is a whale?? maybe?? then would allow light in there...
what about a floating flashlight that still has batteries in it?? this way wouldnt have to be a whale or other mammal w/blowhole..
just a thought to help your logic.. however, I do have to say one thing..

THIS IS TITS MAN! I love it..works really well..
