Tom Morrow shows us the Future





This piece of art is obvious. It was for Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom. This was a project where we wanted to play off of the neo-retro styling of the re-designed tomorrowland and incorporated a comic book element as well. So I concepted this idea and ran with it. It was the main piece of art for the program. We did the panels to reprsent the windows of a comic book page and the had the characters break out of the panels. The whole piece was inked in Illustrator. All the elements in the background was inked seperately so that I could move them around so that I could get the best visual appeal in the panels. The characters were also inked seperately as well. When it came to color I want to give the feel as though it was dusk and the whole place was illuminating. I used a lot of gradients and transparent color and transparent color on top of gradients on top of solid colors and so on. I really dived into this piece. I pulled as much reference as I could find at Magic Kingdom, WDI, and DDG resource center. and worked and reworked the whole thing. This was one of those sink your teeth project.
