Ratatouille Concept Art

Some really nice concept art pieces from Pixar's upcoming "Ratatouille" have been posted over at CanMag.



It really is amazing to look through the images and see how close they are to the film. I wonder if these were created before or after the character models had been created, or if the modelers were actually able to match the drawings that closely. I know it's possible, especially for the skilled modelers at Pixar, I'm just curious as to which came first.

Check out the article to see more concept pieces and get nice little tidbits about the film such as this:

To create a realistic looking compost pile, artists photographed and researched the way real produce rots. Fifteen different kinds of produce were left to rot and then photographed, such as apples, berries, bananas, mushrooms, oranges, broccoli and lettuce.

Sounds like my kitchen.
