Unused Character designs for animated pitch



Hey all,

Here are some designs from the aborted pitch I had done for Disney and Nickelodeon. The designs are by the super talented Chris Sasaki. It is a damn shame nothing ever came of these...

First up is Juan Carlos Martinez, our intrepid boy inventor/hero, and his Knights persona, the Monkey Knight!!

  4. Yeah, I had a lot of interest from the studios in the project. CN wanted a very heavy action oriented direction, which is where I went initially, but then they passed, so I took it to Disney, who wanted a more humorous approach. Chris Sasaki is just the bomb. This stuff is absolutely gorgeous. And a style that I could never in a million years come up with.
