The Simpsons - "Ice Age", a Primal homage

For The Simpsons "Clan of the Cave Mom", an homage to Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, I developed and art directed the backgrounds from the first draft through final animation. My primary goal was to ensure a comprehensive  merging of the Primal and Springfield design styles in a thoughtful manner.  I led the environmental vision, mapped out the world-building, planned scene-by-scene designs, charted script needs, and authored comprehensive design guides to ensure stylistic consistency for the layout crew and color department. Below is a curated look into the planning, crafting, and thought process that informed the final artwork.
