Death Note (Desu Nōto) is a Japanese manga series created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and manga artist Takeshi Obata. The series centers on Light Yagami, a university student who discovers a supernatural notebook, the "Death Note", dropped on Earth by a shinigami (death god) named Ryuk. The Death Note grants its user the ability to kill anyone whose face they have seen, by writing the victim's name in the notebook. The story follows Light's attempt to create and rule a world cleansed of evil using the notebook, and the complex conflict between him, his opponents and a mysterious detective known to the world only as L.

Death Note was first serialized in 108 chapters by Shueisha in the Japanese manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 2003 to May 2006. The series was also published in tankōbon format in Japan starting in May 2004 and ending in October 2006 with a total of twelve volumes. The series was adapted into live-action films released in Japan on June 17, 2006, on November 3, 2006, and on February 2, 2008. The anime series aired in Japan from October 3, 2006, to June 26, 2007. Composed of 37 episodes, the anime was developed by Madhouse and directed by Tetsuro Araki. A light novel based on the series, written by Nisio Isin, was released in Japan. Additionally, various video games have been published by Konami for Nintendo DS.

Viz Media licensed the Death Note manga in North America and has published all the twelve volumes from the series as well as the light novel. The episodes from the anime first appeared in North America as downloadable by IGN. Viz later licensed the anime series and it aired on Bionix. The live-actions briefly played in certain North American theaters since 2008. However, none of the video games titles have thus far been published in North America.

Several publications for manga, anime and other media have added praise and criticism on the Death Note series. The plot and violence from the story have been praised, noting it to be very entertaining. However, the series was banned in China due to various problems people had with children altering their notebooks to resemble the Death Note.

THE THREE CABALLEROS

Here are a few diverse pieces from THE THREE CABALLEROS.
First, a wonderful "global view" of Mexico:

A creative setup with a live action movie in a frame...

A floral dazzler with an unusual yellow/orange/red color palette (opening flower is a cel overlay):

And finally, two very simple but stunning B/Gs, over which the animation really pops. This is a great argument for understatement!

HOME ON THE RANGE (2004)

Howdy!!!

I've previously mentioned my affinity for "old west" art in cartoons. Why? Who knows. Maybe it was my childhood growing up in South Dakota, and visiting western spots like "Deadwood" and "Rockerville." Whatever the reason, I really like it!

Here is an enormous installment of digitally re-assembled background art from Disney's HOME ON THE RANGE (2004). This is actually the biggest post I've ever done, around FIFTY pieces! There's some really fine work here by recent Disney B/G artists. It is unashamedly "cartoon-y" with vivid color palettes, some wonderful use of perspective, and an over-all fresh, contemporary look. Lots of fun!

As usual, whenever possible all "cel" characters and overlays are digitally erased. When and if they are left in, it means the character didn't budge enough to clear the area.

Don't forget to click on the images for the enlarged versions.

Happy trails!
