The Beautiful Briny, Shimmery Shiny Sea



This fantastic artwork underplayed two dancing fish for mere seconds in the BEAUTIFUL BRINY SEA segment of BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS.

FIrst up, the featured fish in a screen cap. Remember them swimming by? Below it, my digitally re-created pan Background.

After several hundred backgrounds and blog entires, I’m running out of words! I hate to repeat myself, but…

Truly, the texture and play of light is marvelous.

After doing this for years, every once in a while I am truly amazed at the artwork revealed. This is one of those times.

Gorgeous!




Here are some more pieces from Italian guest artist Andrea Scipione, wonderful digital re-creations of backgrounds from CINDERELLA. Thank you Andrea for sharing these!

Numbers, schmumbers

THE LITTLE MERMAID





A new guest artist from Italy, Andrea Scipione sent these wonderful digital re-creations of backgrounds from THE LITTLE MERMAID. Thank you Andrea!

This was the last Disney feature to use hand-painted cels.

Enjoy these wonderful B/Gs. Bella!

THREE CABALLEROS



Here are two different treatments of the same street from THE THREE CABALLEROS. The first (like a pop-up book) is very cartoonish. The second is more like a chalk drawing.

Theoretically, they could have used one B/G and zoomed in for a close-up. instead, two B/Gs were painted and the textures are quite different.

This is intriguing to me. How about you?
