Now you see her, now you don't. In this week's Rocketeer I'm highlighting the fascinating fadeaway technique developed by artist, Cole Phillips in the years leading up to WWI.
Cool. Great composition as well. Hadn't really been aware of it so much. Very stylish.
There's a comic book cover artist who takes that idea even further to mostly blend the figures. John Tyler Christopher. Not as much contrast as Cole.
Then there's Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes. The second one, Game of Shadows I believe. Watched it not too long ago actually...
You'll have to clarify about Robert Downey's Sherlock Holmes for me. Did he have something to do with a fadeaway design?
No, not really, sorry.
He straight up painted himself to match the wall and furniture and then Watson came in and looked for him and he faded IN.
Not nearly the same, since using multiple colors and pretty much just camouflage.
I see. Yes, they did the same sort of camouflage thing in the opening credits for the series, "Victoria" as well. It is a cool technique. :)
