I'm not sure but I thought that someone somewhere might find this interesting. Background department naming conventions using one of my paintings from Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron.

Congratulations

interesting indeed.

did the background department take your finished painting, split it up into layers sorted by depth, and fill in the gaps?

or did you paint it layered to begin with?

Nathan Fowkes said...

Thanks guys.

It was definitely painted as separate layers. On this show we painted each layer on illustration board then separated them from the white background digitally. On previous show we had to paint the overlays on clear plastic acetate cells.

As someone who had to set up two mattepainting pipelines, I find it very interesting. Thanks for sharing! :)
