Latest from Scott Wills

For those of you who have been wondering what Scott's been up to lately, wonder no more!

Besides wrapping up art direction on Monsters vs Aliens, Scott teamed up with Genndy recently to produce a short for CN called 'Maruined'. Scott painted all the final backgrounds himself over an incredibly short span of time... around 50 in about 2 months (on top of his full-time job)! It's uncertain if Maruined will ever air on TV, but Scott sent over a few of his BGs and as you can see, they are absolutely spectacular. Looking at them again, I'm still having difficulty comprehending the brilliant artistry. To say the least, they are like nothing I've seen before. How often can that be said these days?

Before you ask, they were painted mostly by hand (except for the characters and a few digital elements for animation purposes, I believe). Images are Copyright © Cartoon Network.

Hey Jack - He paints on a single piece of watercolor paper or bristol paper for the main background. Then I believe a separate painting is made for the dark foreground shapes the characters pass behind and digital pieces are added on a separate layer. My best guess anyway. Patrick - It should! It's the same guy who art directed and painted for the show. Definitely shades of Sam Jack in these, but they're pushed quite a bit further. Thanks for the comments, fellows!
