Skylanders Giants

Earlier this year I worked on the cinematics for the recently released Skylanders Giants game. Got to work on some environment designs, backgrounds, colorkeys, props, and other photoshoppings. Done at Pandapanther. Got to work with many amazing artists and learned so much. It was busy busy busy. Here are some works below:

vortex in the throne room, where all the characters get swept away.

toy store

another section of the toy store with the kiosk and skylanders toy display

another view of the toy store, worked from some 3d screen grabs,  so many toys

a fun balloon face, still from the final

a still from the final inside the toy store

many things got cut. here is one of them: interior/back of the giant fist. the giant fist is usually shown from the front or side.

some color keys, before and after of tree rex

more colorkeys of the throne room aged 10,000 years, before and afters. 

did much digital gardening, side of an island

above is a still from the final, below is more digital gardening:  part of panoramic of the side of the island that the helicopter flies by.

blogger is being weird because it will not let me align things. keep running into this problem.
