Gametime

Wow, I can't believe it's November already. I hope everyone had a happy Halloween. I dressed up like Barbie Princess Genevieve. I won't post a picture on this blog. You're welcome.

Lately I've been working on speedpainting. They're good exercises. Some of what I speedpaint is nature, some of it is backgrounds from animated features. So, I thought it would be fun to have a quiz.

So here goes. What animated shows/features are these backgrounds from? (Hint: they are all Disney)

1.
2.
3.4.5.6.7.8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
So like...good luck with it...especially #12. Whoever gets number 12 I will personally mail a package of ramen to their house. It's that hard.

Time for shameless plug!

Shameless plug: I've created a livejournal speedpaint group! It's called speedpainttrain. It's really awesome. Really. Ok, so far the only person to post stuff has been...cough cough...well, me, actually, but I'm sure it will pick up once the word gets out. There are rules (like, 30 minutes on each, has to be from life or a picture) but anyone can join. So be awesome and join.

  3. Hope I didn't ruin the fun by posting so soon... I just got excited. And speaking of these backgrounds... I think Aladdin has the most insane color palette with the blues and oranges. They've always bugged me.

    Did you know that Snow White was designed with muted colors because the studio wasn't sure if the human eye could stand to look at colorful things for 90 minutes straight? Food for thought.

  5. Now that I've compared my list with Adrian's, I realize that I need to watch more Disney. I haven't even heard of Fun and Fancy Free or Home on the Range.

    Fun quiz, Heath. Thanks

  8. Oh man! I thought I knew every Disney film. I'm in awe of Adrian. He's amazing. Ummm, I wonder if he can quote "Princess and the Pea". If he can, he deserves his ramen to me gold plated!

  9. I don't like gold plating on my food. It makes it too rich.

    Thank you! I'll be here all week!

    (And I can quote the entire Princess and the Pea film. Sadly.)

  10. Actually, the only one I knew was Truth About Mother Goose. Please, keep your ramen, or send it to Joe, he likes it with peanut butter, seriously.

    Great work!
