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.
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.
