HOME ON THE RANGE (2004)

Howdy!!!

I've previously mentioned my affinity for "old west" art in cartoons. Why? Who knows. Maybe it was my childhood growing up in South Dakota, and visiting western spots like "Deadwood" and "Rockerville." Whatever the reason, I really like it!

Here is an enormous installment of digitally re-assembled background art from Disney's HOME ON THE RANGE (2004). This is actually the biggest post I've ever done, around FIFTY pieces! There's some really fine work here by recent Disney B/G artists. It is unashamedly "cartoon-y" with vivid color palettes, some wonderful use of perspective, and an over-all fresh, contemporary look. Lots of fun!

As usual, whenever possible all "cel" characters and overlays are digitally erased. When and if they are left in, it means the character didn't budge enough to clear the area.

Don't forget to click on the images for the enlarged versions.

Happy trails!

  2. These BGs are different than we are used to see from Disney art directions.. its kind of fast painted job. Sharp edges, solid colors, less light and shadows. Walt wouldn't be happy about this one, because he even didn't like 101 Dalmatians BGs. Ken Anderson got in big troubles... :o(

  7. I kind of prefer the roundness of older Disney BG's and character designs. Makes things more smooth and liquid and "homey".

    The Chinese postings are just internet Spam from Taiwan selling sex accessories. Blogger is banned in Mainland China. So they can't see these postings there.

Christian Louboutin sale is the perfect juxtaposition between sexiness and elegance. Whether you dress her up or dress her down, she will add a bit of attitude to any ensemble.
