Since I have been working on design-related stuff lately, here's another batch of backgrounds from Samurai Jack. These are from episode 32 - Jack and the Traveling Creatures. This episode is loaded with so much beautiful scenery, I had a difficult time deciding which ones to leave out. Scott Wills and Dan Krall art direction, with paints by Nadia Vurbenova-Mouri and Ellen Suh.

BTW, these are screencaps from the DVDs (that you should all own!). I'm not affiliated with the show, just a big fan of the artists involved and their amazing work.
Because of the panning and lots of animated elements (like Jack walking, credits, flocks of birds, etc) some of these were relatively tough to stitch together. Please enjoy.

Samurai Jack Backgrounds Pt 10
Here are some more treats from Samurai Jack. I love this show, especially the background paintings. I'm continuing to post these because it doesn't look likely that Cartoon Network will ever make a book about the show (they fear it won't sell) and these babies deserve more attention! These were painted by the amazing Scott Wills and Ellen Suh from Episode 30, Jack and the Zombies. Great mood created in this batch. The colors, the mist and the sponging on top of the wash on the moon is brilliant.
