Hey, friends!
It's no secret that we're huge fans of the old-school drawing and animation style from legends like Mr. Chuck Jones, Hanna-Barbera, & Co. They brought the timeless magic of Saturday morning cartoons into our living rooms, making us smile and feel cozy and warm. The vibrant colors, the contrasts, the tiny irregularities of the hand-drawn line and the perfection of it at the same time — what a treat!
From the start, when we began creating Elroy about 10 years ago, we made a decision. We want both you and ourselves to experience that same feeling of warmth and coziness we had back in the '80s and '90s watching those marvelous hand-drawn cartoons, through Elroy's art as well. There should be no compromise, no cutting corners.
Using modern tools, all of the art in Elroy and the Aliens is carefully drawn by hand, ensuring that all the colors, shadows, and lines are just right, exactly where they're supposed to be.
So, how do we do it? Here's a little time-lapse of a desert ghost town named Losantos coming to life.
And make sure to turn on the sound, too! ;)
