If we were short on time (which seemed to be almost always) and we had an especially heavy background count (which was often), I would occasionally do color comps like these and let overseas finish the rest. I would choose backgrounds that were not on screen for very long. The reason for this was that it would not make sense for us to invest that much time to painting full backgrounds. The backgrounds here were probably on screen for probably three seconds each in the final episode.

The "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" Background Paint Blog

February 2011 marked my end of production for the "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" animated series. I started working on B:TB&tB as one of the background painters in 2008 and about eight episodes in, I became the background paint supervisor. I plan to use this blog to do a postmortem of sorts and show a small portion of the background paintings I did for the show. I will to try to post at least one painting from every one of the 65 episodes of the series and to have a little commentary to go along with the work. Also, I am going to show some work that was never used for the show for whatever reason. Updates will be once a week (probably on Monday) until we reach the end of the series.

One last note: even though I painted these backgrounds, all of the paintings here are property of Warner Bros Animation, so please do not post any of the work here on your website. You really don't want to upset WB's lawyers...like at all.
