Monster High

 

NICKELODEON ANIMATION & Mattel

 

As Art Director for the animated series based on the global franchise Monster High, I came onto the show early Season 1 to adapt the beloved brand for audiences today, working alongside the creatives and executives from Mattel and Nickelodeon.

I developed a color script for the Main Title sequence. We wanted to tell a visual story. Not included are the two shots taking place in the main school hallway as the lighting for those was established.

Two matte paintings done for dusk and night at Dracula’s mansion. Paintings done on top of CG renders.

Paintover by me on left to take the first pass of the CG render to a more frosted skin look, more similar to the doll’s look.
