Planet Hulk DVD Production Art

Hi all,
As promised, here are the production Key backgrounds done for Planet Hulk. Fedja Jovanovic designed the layouts and I painted them in Photoshop, version CS3. Time of day, lighting and color all help to push emotional cues. It's not just pushing buttons on computers, it's pushing YOUR buttons, lol. Ok lame joke. I really should take the time and break down how I do these. I'll try to do that, not for you pros out there, no I'm not talking to you. For all you youngsters who like art and would like to know how to take my job away from me. Yeah good idea Steve! Hope you enjoy them!

Planet Hulk DVD

Hi all, I'm sorry it has been soooo long since my last post. I have been very busy working on many different projects. I will fill you in on those later. The good news is that Planet Hulk DVD is finally out this week. It was about a year and a half ago that we finished production on this, the best of the Marvel direct to DVDs to date. I had a lot of fun working on this and all the other Marvel DTVs. Let's hope that Disney will decide to continue the momentum we started and not take the Marvel brand into a Marvel Musical direction, LOL. In a separate post I will show some of the key paintings that were done for this. Hope you fans will buy this one and support us and our hard work. The crew was really all the A+ players in the industry. Frank Paur (Producer), Sam Liu (Director), Phil Bourassa (Character Design), Fedja Jovanovic (Background Design), James Peters (Color Models) and so many other great board artists and hats off to the production crew that kept us organized. It was a pleasure working with these guys and I was honored to be a part of this project. Interestingly enough since Marvel stopped production on the direct to DVDs, We all have ended up working at Warner Bros. producing a lot of the DC DTVs. More on that later. Enjoy this one for the time being. Check back later for the production bgs.

HULK VS

Muscle men in tights smashing each other to death but they never die so they can keep smashing and smashing! What more can you ask for in a Hulk VS movie? Go out and buy this and get yourself pumped up so for at least an hour or so you could feel what a real macho super hero man feels like. It effects are only temporary so you will be back to you normal pencil neck, video game playing self until you watch it again. An other reason to buy it so that we can keep making these movies. Marvel is waiting to see how well the sales are before they green light any more direct to dvd movies. So right now I'm here in TV land working on Super Hero Squad. Help save an artist, buy a Marvel DVD. Thanks!

Some production BGs from The Next Avengers!

Here are some Backgrounds I digitally painted for the movie. Fedja Jovanovic designed these layouts. Starting from The Next Avengers through Planet Hulk which releases in 2010, Marvel/Lionsgate used basicly the same crew to create the art and design on these movies. I have to say, These are the some of best artists in the business and it has been a pleasure working with these guys. Fedja Jovanovic Is the Background designer. He is a great artist and I love to work on his designs. James Peters is the best Color Stylist I've ever worked with. He will put the characters over my backgrounds and make them sing! Not literally. Mitch Schauer designed Characters for both The Next Avengers and Hulk vs Thor. He is also great at what he does and is now using his Talents designing all the characters on Super Hero Squad and producing as well! Enjoy!

The Next Avengers for Christmas!

My kids love this movie and so do all their friends. It is the only show I worked on that has "tested well" with my own.
