If you’re like we are, you’re already a big fan of Niki Yang from her Random! Cartoons shorts, “Two Witch Sisters” and “Victor the Delivery Dog”. Since March, this Seoul-born artist has been busy storyboarding for Fanboy and Chum Chum. She took a break from her drawing responsibilities to answer a few questions for the blog.
Frederator: What was your favorite cartoon growing up as a kid?
Niki: Miyazaki’s early work such as Conan, the Boy in Future, Anne of Green Gables, A Dog of Flanders, Little Nemo, Tezuka’s Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion and some more animations which I lost in translation…
This afternoon the Fanboy and Chum Chum gang had it first official day of audio mixing, tackling the first batch of Nickelodeon interstitials. Above, left to right: Shaun Cashman, Molly Minus, Eric Robles, and Steve Tompkins. Below, Steve.
From Fanboy and Chum Chum Chum episode #113, “PG Movie”. Pale Kid designed by Steve Lambe, colored by Chris Near.
Chad Woods was one of the first artists Eric Robles brought on board for Fanboy and Chum Chum. In fact, Chad worked on the original Random! Cartoons short. We asked Chad a few questions about his work, inspiration, and super powers.
Frederator: What’s your job on Fanboy & Chum Chum?
Chad Woods: I’m the color stylist/background painter for the show. In addition to painting mattes/concepts for the CG texture department to refer to, I also do the color scripts for each episode. The color scripts provide direction for the lighting department for how to light key moments in each episode.
