Project Review: The Phantom 2040 PART XXXI-Vehicle Color Keys

Maximum Inc's Golden Boy Maxwell has a Limo.


One of my favorite designs is the single pod fan powered flying vehicle.
[ Influenced by an old VW Bud Vase!]


Kit Walker had a custom Hypercycle but this is the Police version of it here.


A Flying Fire Fighting Tanker.


The Assault Multicruiser was the base cruiser for all Hyper Vehicles I did.

Phantom 2040-PART XXXI
Vehicle Color Keys

Client: Hearst Animation Productions.
Art Director: Myself.
Project Date Spring 1993.

In this 31st post on the Phantom 2040 TV Animation series I worked on in the early 90's , here I have posted some more marker comp color keys. Traditionally we would "cel" paint a key and we did do a few that way, but since this was to be painted digitally we needed reference only for the Paint-Box[ Remember that!] systems.

As a Transportation major from Art Center Markers are our form of color keying so I used that to do all my keys while at Hearst Animation Productions.

Above is a small sample of various fan vehicles I designed that I came back and did these color keys over the inked sketches of mine.

Cheers, THOM

  1. The “Project Review: The Phantom 2040 PART XXXI – Vehicle Color Keys” is fascinating, especially for anyone interested in detailed vehicle design and color schemes. Seeing how different colors are planned and applied gives great insight into the thought process behind both aesthetic and functional choices.

    Of course, even the most well-planned vehicles can encounter unexpected issues, like tyre damage. That’s why having access to a reliable tyre damage repair service is so valuable. Quick professional help ensures you can address tyre problems efficiently and keep your vehicle in top condition.
