More sketches for my personal project “Detectives”. In the story, the characters have a hideout/headquarters in an abandoned RV. It’s located in an overgrown part of their uncle Titus’ junkyard and they spend a lot of summer days and nights there.
As some people might have already figured out, I based the project on the “Three Investigators”-books, who are widely popular in Germany under the name “Die 3 Fragezeichen”. I love the way their stories combine a feeling of mystery and adventure with the feelgood-vibe of spending summer vacations with your friends, not thinking about what will happen the next day. All of that combined with a stylized version of the late 90ies California is just increadibly appealing to me and I wanted to try and capture these feelings in my images.
yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character who’s never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,
PLUS THIS SCENE?
AND THIS????
We’re all just suckers for lonely heroes accidentally acquiring a dad.
the reason why this movie is so underrated is that disney released it almost side by side with the harry potter movie.
treasure planet was a very, very expensive movie that used novel cgi mixed with 2d drawing, took a lot of work and money to create, the script itself was amazing to work with, the characters had arcs and depths, and the story as a whole was compelling and never off.
i don’t think anyone ever figured out why disney wanted it to flop, but the date of release was strictly suicidal for a movie. that’s why it never got the attention it deserved.
