Kung Fu Panda 2 : Prelude to an Art Post

 
IF IT WAS A DARK PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA - 
rejected poster concept. I really liked this one, but it didn't make the cut.

You can consider this a teaser/trailer to the larger KFP2 art post coming in May.

I ended my run on KFP2 just a few short months ago, and most everyone is still cranking to finish. I had a great experience on the movie and was allowed to do work outside my comfort zone. I learned a lot and would kill for a chance to work on any possible sequel.

Here is the latest trailer that premiered today before Rango -

I worked on color keys for a few of the sequences in the trailer as well as providing some design work. Here's three I pulled out of a hat. Don't forget to go see the movie when it comes out in May!

    Wicked stuff Mike. Are these paintovers of initial rough 3D comps or simply hand drawn? Either way, very cool
