Some concepts for a freelance project that fell through.

The Lingo Show intro

I've posted before about Cbeebies' "The Lingo Show", but there weren't any internationally viewable clips available then. So here's one I just found one that everyone can watch, the theme song!

I storyboarded and made the animatic for the theme song and all (minus one) of the rest of the songs in series 1. I also animated the middle chunk in this, the part where the bugs come in and introduce themselves.

In related news, "The Lingo Show" was the most viewed children's show for June 2012! Hurrah!

All of the episodes are now available to watch in the UK on the BBC iplayer.

She wants to be where the people are...

Lee-Lee's Quest 2 - Adult Swim

I did some of the artwork on this game (Ryan J Neal did most of it). It's an absolutely hilarious game, if you like things that are fun then you will LOVE this.

Lee-Lee's Quest is the brainchild of Marcus Richert.

Edit: Might be helpful if I actually give you a link to the game!

So I felt like drawing some pretty frilly princesses... You can probably guess who they are!

Cleaned up a sketchbook doodle. The second image doubles as a wallpaper :)

...Can you tell I like yellow?

Bad fairies

Today's train doodles! Some sort of evil fairy folk. I'm pretty sure they bite.

Here's my brand new Character Design portfolio - includes loads of artwork I've never posted online before! ...Like the above image. I'm excited, are you excited?!

"Best Present Ever" Pitchwork - 2

 More never-before-published BPE artwork!

Clara acquired a best friend called Evie. I wanted Evie to be Greek and have a huge crazy family, which you don't see much in cartoons! I always liked her, maybe she should have her own show instead...

Evie's big sister, Anita, would have been Clarabell's babysitter.
She had a fancy cat who was based on my fancy cat. Another character I'll be re-using elsewhere if I can help it.

"Best Present Ever" Pitchwork - 1

Some of you might know that the idea behind my graduation short "Best Present Ever" was optioned and pitched as a series by "Dinamo Productions" nearly 3 years ago.The project got some attention from broadcasters but unfortunately didn't get the backing needed for it to become a reality.

The silver lining to this, is that I've at last been given the go ahead to post the artwork from the pitch! I've got some fun designs and storyboards lined up to show you so check back! :)

Both Clarabell and Sparky got re-designs! Clara needed to look older for the pitch, so she became taller with a slightly smaller head. I wasn't entirely happy with the eyes or the final colouring and planned to revisit them if the show was picked up.

I decided Sparky should be much bigger than he was in the short, as what's the point of having a pet dinosaur if you can't ride it around?

The unfamiliar character on the giant spider robot was a new addition, meant to be Dr Gloop's assistant. More on him later.

One of my old characters. One day I'm going to give her her own short. Or she might punch me.

Tweeters

Found these little birdies hiding in an old sketchbook from a couple of years ago. Thought they were cute, so here you go :)

Part 1, all cleaned up!

There's 3 or 4 more parts on the way, but it's going to take a little longer than previously anticipated to get them done. This is due to some exciting side projects that have been hungrily consuming my free time. Can't say much about them yet, but watch this space!

"The Lingo Show" now on the telly!

I'm very pleased to present to you "The Lingo Show", a language learning preschool cartoon that I've been working on over at Dinamo for Cbeebies for the last 6 months. It was a blast to work on, as the the characters are quite quirky and charming and each have their own personality.  Hopefully the kiddies will like it too!

I was lead animator and storyboard artist on the show, with my main duty being the song sequences. I boarded everything in the first episode, which is currently available to watch on BBC's iplayer  :)

I'll post some more fun stuff from it later when more of the show has aired.

"Ha Ha Hairies" Character designs

The show has aired at last, so finally I can make a post about it. This is the first time I've done design/animation work for a Cartoon Network show so I'm pretty excited!

Over the past few months, I cartoonified the cast of a live-action show called the "Ha! Ha! Hairies" and animated them in about 35 short sequences.  It was a lot of fun to work on, my favourites were Pa (Third from the left) and the dog with it's wiggly little toes.

The show is a live-action/CGi mix, with 2D animation representing the characters' thought bubbles. I'll post some of the sequences once more episodes have aired.

Ha! Ha! Hairies is now on airing on S4C (UK), and is coming soon to Cartoon Network's Cartoonito.

Over the tracks preview

Here's a thumbnail sequence I've been working on this weekend for my storyboard portfolio... The whole thing will be up next week so check back :D

Aaaaand here's an unrelated warmup sketch.
