timothy barnes skip to main skip to sidebar timothy barnes opinions and experiences in illustration wednesday september 26 2012 spot illustration just working on some spot illustrations for a new digital illustration portfolio posted by tim barnes at 12 53 pm 2 comments wednesday september 12 2012 1 layout 2 directions just an example of two different styles using the same layout posted by tim barnes at 1 22 pm 1 comment wednesday august 01 2012 art direction for kick buttowski part 5 i will tell you art directing this show was a great experience but i certainly didn t do it alone i had a great director chris savino and an amazing crew of super talented and dedicated artists that made my job not only easier but a great pleasure this section was for an episode where kick is being tormented by his brother brad he becomes super paranoid and i thought noir so as kick walks down the street hearing the echoing voice of his brothers torments i de saturated the backgrounds of the street area added strips of shadows to indicated prison bars and designed a series of images that were limited in color and shape the more kick becomes paranoid the simpler the backgrounds become until they are just large shapes of limited color even as he enters his own room thinking he s safe the style continues to be simple to enhance his separation for reality broken only when his friend gunther slams open the door breaking the spell the splatters of color that i thought would be a good idea to show as he is rained upon by couches of all things didn t quite work when we got the footage back so they were lost in the final edit live and learn posted by tim barnes at 4 44 pm no comments art direction for kick buttowski part4 this was the first color script i did for the show as art director i wish i could say i had the time to do this for the rest of the season but i didn t time just wouldn t allow it it was nice to be able to see the show simplified into large color areas the great thing about this episode was that it was over the course of the day including sunset and finally night that made it possible to bring a great variety of color i painted the background on the bottom that was designed by tim allen posted by tim barnes at 4 29 pm no comments art direction for kick buttowski part 3 this episode took place entirely in a go kart park originally the backgrounds were designed with real trees and bushes but to create more of an artificial look i suggested they should all look like they were cut out of wood and propped up i also created an artificial grass texture made of dots to sell the idea even further the two pages of art director notes refer to the opening scene the idea being we didn t want it to be obvious that they weren t real race cars the series of red faced kicks with the bomb explosion is when kick gets the news that his older brother brad is in charge of the go kart park the second page shows notes for kicks body being pumped full of adrenaline for the big race we found a great example of something similar on youtube and used it as a starting point for our kick version i ve included the kick body interior that i did for the scene posted by tim barnes at 4 16 pm no comments art direction on kick buttowski part 2 here are two examples of pages i sent to our studio in canada to visually communicate effects i was looking for in specific episodes posted by tim barnes at 3 50 pm no comments art direction on kick buttowski part1 i had the greatest experience last year as art director on kick buttowski for disney xd not only was it a great talented crew but i was given a lot of creative freedom to experiment this episode found the two main characters kick and gunther in a water park and surrounding areas the fun part for me was that the episode was basically broken up into 6 areas allowing me to give each location is own color palette i find it really exciting to be able to bring color into storytelling it s subtle in the final version of the cartoon but i think the strong design of each area in addition to the varied color we gave each scene made for a nice overall look i started with a color script that gave the basic shapes of each important scenes after i was happy with the color i was able to bring that to the background painters and direct them in creating the finished backgrounds posted by tim barnes at 3 31 pm no comments sunday july 29 2012 more visual development yet again some bg s i designed and painted for a pilot that never went to series posted by tim barnes at 5 57 pm no comments the awesome
