Development art for 2013 animated feature film Epic, done by Micheal Knapp, one of the production designers (along with Greg Couch and Bill Joyce) at Blue Sky Studios (Ice Age, Rio). After getting Annie nomination for Best Production Design in Animated Films (along with other nominations), Micheal Knapp decided to share some goodies (I mean Epic art) on his website (part 2 of Epic art). Color scripts and concepts look amazing, extremly detailed and beautiful. The amount of hard work that was put in making this movie is insane. I've also enjoyed reading Knapp's description of a project and challenges they had during the production process.
I've watched this movie in cinema and I have to admit, that overall art direction is stunning. Environments are interesting, colorful, characters fun and memorable. The only weak point could be a plot, but since it's based on a book and its main audience are kids, I can't really complain ;).
