To help tell a major chapter in the story of Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, we animated a series of illustrations through After Effects. There was a boatload of painting to get done, but the process was a fistful of fun. Here’s a peek at a few of the images.
We hope everybody had an awesome holiday — we’ve been soaking up our vacations while trying to cram in as much drawing as our fingers can muster. We’ve been posting our battles on Twitter and just started an Instagram account for some of the visuals. If that’s your cup of tea, stop on by!
So what groovy stuff did you guys get for Christmas??
LOVING these pictures Dave. Super awesome, and such great clarity!
Thanks Ben!
I love these amazing colours in landscapes!
could watch them over and over!
BTW: thanks for adding “scribbles”!
now we have fast view for new images!
great idea
This is just wow! Seriously??
Wow… so good.
Awesome! I’m so happy you share all that stuff. I’m excited what you present in 2012!
I’m sketching for fun and I learned so much!
Simply thanks!!!!
Great stuff Dave, really looking forward to seeing the animation. I’ve gotten heavily involved in animating illustrations in After Effects the last 6 months or so – were you getting all up in the puppet pins? I was pretty impressed with the results they can give you once you figure out their idiosyncrasies. Keep up the good work, chief – hope all is well!
Amazing! as always^^
Hey guys!
Well, i got me an issue of Ratchet & Clank and a Cintiq. You guys just rock and your art is a 100% inspiration!!! I stop by almost every day to check what you are cookin’ up next…
So much to learn from you!

Hi there.
Where can I see those AFX animations ? Only in the game ?
I work with AFX and I’m curious of what you can do with your illustrations
The lighting in these images is amazing! I envy your awesome knowledge of colour!
Freakin’ excellent dudes!
