This painting of Eindhoven city is quite elaborate, so we kept the video longer.
Lichttoren Eindhoven | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #21 | Nicker Poster Colour
In this World War II scene, we see German bombers flying over Eindhoven. The dramatic perspective of the buildings pulls the eyes upwards, to the sky, where ominous clouds give off a brooding atmosphere. A brown and yellow palette enhances the gritty, historic feel.

Tokyo Drinking Alley | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #17
This one is not really part of an animated film, but rather one shot we created to try and capture an feeling or memory. Something which brings you back to a moment or place. Maybe the end of a night of drinking too much in a drinking alley, one of things in Japan that are so much part of the city life. Hopefully you can transport yourself there for a brief moment, or even relate…
Undone | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #16
