Spongebob Movie Concept 1

Spongebob Squarepants - Sponge out of Water - concept art

This was the first design of the characters in 3D, as their normal selves. The studio asked me to do this piece to create a scene that could help the executives see what the film would look like, provide a moment for Slash to be in the movie, and design the textures and look of the skin and clothes of the characters in 3D.

I actually built the boardwalk set in my living room and posed in place of Slash for the painting. The food stand behind the guitarist and all the characters are painted and the boardwalk behind that is a photographic plate.

*note that this shot did not make the final cut of the film, but is in one of the trailers.
