Metalwülf!

Brendan Smith, one of the creators/writers of this pilot posted this link on Facebook the other day.  Metalwülf was a show the studio I was working for had done for Mtv back in the day (2003 maybe?) and one in which I handled a lot of design on.  It's hard to look at some of the art direction and character design I was in charge of, as well as the Flash animation cheats and all, but overall, it was a fun and rewarding project that could have been cool had it been given a shot.

Character Line-up

Characters from a video at work, not sure I can show animation here, but here's the players involved.  I went for a Bruce Timm-esque look and regret how E-Tail looks so similar to B:TAS's Clayface, but that's always been a great looking design.

Laserfist Johnson

Here's an idea I had a while ago and figured I'd post it since I never bothered to pitch it anywhere. "When evil raises its ugly head, only one man can stop it.... with a laser-like precision knuckle sandwich!" Laserfist Johnson is a retired super spy with a plasmatic prosthetic hand for the organization GLOBE, who reluctantly returns to the field after Dr. Destructo returns to wreak havoc on the world. After being coupled with an inexperienced junior agent (who is also the boss' daughter) and a civilian wizkid who tagged along, Laserfist Johnson tries to keep the trio out of peril while also trying to save the world in this action/comedy animated series.

Who knows? Maybe I'll work it out a bit more now that it's 2 years later...

Biff Banter, Street Brawler

A new idea I'm working out and, of course, placed on top of the pile of all the other ideas I'm working out. Sigh.

Assassination: Doughnut! Preliminary Character Design And Background Sample

I've been toying with this idea lately that has been rolling around my head for awhile, but I'm having a few problems getting it going. What else is new? Above are the three main characters involved. Ambassador Donut has been dispatched to America for a peace accord in hopes to patch up US/Donutopia relations, soured after a recent, tragic police action, lead by a shadowy US agency, in Donutopia. The Ambassador is accompanied by his ever-faithful aide, Jonah J. Jellifild, a meek and nervous fellow. Unfortunately for Mr. Donut, mysterious forces are at work to see that relations stay strained and an assassin has been dispatched to do away with the ambassador. The whole gag here is that the assassin is having a tough time killing the ambassador due to the large hole in the middle of the target's body. So, a sniper shot tends to pass right through him and strikes poor Mr. Jellifild, who of course, bleeds jelly. I'm coming up with more gags related to this theme. Comedic gold. Sigh.
