The typical animation style that we find often in titles created by Philips Sidewalk Studio were made inhouse. We met Greg Holt, who was a Clean-up Artist, Colorist (backgrounds and characters) at the Philips Sidewalk Studio (1992 - 1994). He was responsible for the coloring and character art of games like The Crayon Factory, Wacky World of Miniature Golf, Surf City, Berenstain Bears On Their Own. Greg: "This was the type of work I mainly did as a clean-up artist and colorist. I would take the animators scanned pencil drawings, re-trace the lines in D-paint, and color in the characters. I also made sure to maintain line quality during animation. Software used : Amiga D-Paint".
Recently CD-i member Marco Parisio Java shared with us scans of the CD-i title The Crayon Factory. In the original packaging, the big box version of The Crayon Factory was bundled with real crayons and came with an original coloring book, a children's art book by the same animators who did the animations of the game. Below you'll find a part of them!
