The Art of Code Lyoko

Postby Mewberries151 » Thu Aug 31, 2006 9:48 pm

Well, none of the threads really fit for what I'm posting about here. Wartonchan's "Making of CL from Storyboard to 3D" came close, but I thought it would be nice if we had a thread to chat about and appreciate the 2D animation, in particular the lush background art in which the characters act against.

LyokoCode has recently linked up to the gallery website of Lead Background Painter, Frederic Perrin.

On his website are two full pages of gorgeous CL background art. Among these are classic season 1 backgrounds like the Scanner room, the Elevator, and Kadic's colonnade, as well as season 2 specific backgrounds like the snowy landscapes from "Cold War" and the forest and cliff scenes from "Vertigo".

Each and every one of them is absolutely beautiful, and by looking at the backgrounds (without the characters in them), one can really get a sense of how much detail and hard work goes into making this show. I was really blown away both at how great these paintings are on their own, in addition to how talented this artist is.

Follow this link to enjoy these works of art for yourself.

Anyway, I figured we could use this thread to discuss CL art in general, whether it be background art, the animation itself, or even concept art (if any more surfaces other than the GK concept art). I figure this thread will be useful particularly if the upcoming season 1 box set has lots of storyboard and other 2D art extras on it. :)

Agreed. These are awesome to say the least. Won't find any other modern cartoon with this much detail imho. Just another reason to be so attracted to CL.

Incredible. To say the least.

The backgrounds alwas seemed to stick out from the characters and the objects they usaually interacted with. I guess I now know why.

Seeing art like this makes me think WOAAAH. xD Seriously, this is one of the top 3 reasons why I love this show so much. It's mature, has a great plot, and the art. Just... the art.

Those pieces from Vertigo are just WOW. I have yet to se that episode, though. >__> Scheduling...

I love the fact that some of the pictures change when you have the cursor pointing at them.

The one of the Hermitage in happier times has just become my Desktop Background.

The Hermitage really gets my eyes. Just look at it! These are roll overs, move your mouse over them to make the image change.

Having now seen some CL art in the making, and met character designer Tania Palumbo in person, I have an incredible amount of respect for all the talented artists at Moonscoop - these guys rock to the nth level! :)

XD Well...they are the ones that created them (at least in terms of anime and Code Lyoko). Technically (and fairly), they ought to get them first. ;)

Plus, the wait (and the French spoilers) gets us all extra hyped! :*D

Omigosh...how I would have loved to met her! ^.^ She is one of my idols for creating this great cast of characters! *_*
