Flashback Wednesdays | ArtFlashback Wednesdays… on a Saturday this time. >.<
This drawing of
Marvin the Martian and K-9 was requested by
Six Flags Magic Mountain, more specifically for their park’s Looney Tunes merchandise.
While Marvin and K-9 were easy to conceptualize, I had to do some research for the style of the telescope, so it would matched the same style
Chuck Jones had developed when he created Marvin the Martian - first introduced in Jones’ animated short
Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century (1953.) It was
Maurice Noble background and layout, the same artist who had worked with Jones for the film, who provided the perfect inspiration for my design.

I never saw the final product on any merchandise based on my designs, but a couple of years ago I was able to pick up this postcard at the
Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California.

Flashback Wednesdays | ArtFlashback Wednesdays... on a Wednesday!. ^.^
This week’s Flashback is a rough-pencil - no inking was requested, for a line of limited prints sold at the
Warner Bros. Studio Stores. For some reason, I was asked to draw the instrument’s details - knobs, keys, etc, on a second layer. After its run and with the closure of the WB stores, the image is now sold has a large-size poster, which I have signed quiet a lot-of during the last few years.

Well, yesterday posts was a weak way to (almost) get out of the Flashback Wednesday’s showcase (darn). This
post is about of one should not enamor itself to a projects’ rough or concept, because you will (always) be overridden by your client’s final decision.
More after the cut...

Flashback Wednesdays | ArtHere is the original design (blue-line) that we I did for the international version of the
Space Jam poster. In the final poster,
Duffy Duck’s design was changed because in the original design, he was wearing a “prop” costume that only appeared on-screen for five-seconds.
Here is the
original design - click on image to enlarge.

And here is the
final poster.
