Spectacular Spider-man

September 22 2008

So I love the recent Spectacular Spider-man show. Story wise it’s probably the best adaptation of the comics (yup, more so than the movies) and it really is a visual treat, with amazing designs by Sean “Cheeks” Galloway.

But, there’s one thing that lets it down, the colours. For some reason they opted to use this muted palette and very, subtle highlights/shadows. It’s a look that really flattens everything in a scene, it’s kinda off putting.

What I’d like to see, is more of Galloway’s personal style in the colour design. He’s got this innate sense of colour that means all of his work just pops of the screen of page, look at these for example.

I think Galloway’s own sense of colour is a lot more harmonious with his style. I’d love to see that kind of colour design make it to the tv show, wouldn’t you?
