Great Detective project(大偵探團)

I did the sets design for an online animation series---Great Detective
The overall style of sets is base on old British (around 1930) and added some fantasy elements to it.
I give each set slight different color combination:
Detective kid's room (first row) is in wood brown color ;
Rich mechanical man's house (second row) is combining vivid blue and copper brown;
Bad guys' house (third row left)is in cooler color--grey and blue.

One Pre Person project

This is a online collaborative project I've been worked with them since last year.This 3d animation short starts as a passion project by two director--Nasheet Zaman & Jacquelyn Piette and I was impressed by their beautiful preproduction package.
I works as Matte Painter in this talent team and painting the backgrounds for the scenes. Finally, this film is going to final stage--rendering !!This is the kickstarter page they made for funding the rendering farm. Can't wait to see the final film :)

The story is happened in a beach pier surrounding by the ocean. The following are four environment paintings for different sequences.

1.beginning morning scene: it's the environment for introduction the story.
2.noon scene: it is a hot, sunny noon and the scene's color tend to sky blur
3.gloomy sunrise: this is the saddest moment in the film. It is designed to be cloudy and dark. Dim color been apply to the environment.
4.ending happy sunrise: this is the end of the story, everything end up happily. some purple romantic color been apply to the environment.
