Have you seen the Danger Planet pilot yet? Somebody managed to leak the Cartoon Network pilot out of development limbo and onto YouTube:
Well, there’s a lot more cool cartooning goodies where that came from. Show creator Derek Drymon is sharing a pile of concept art on his new Danger Planet Blog
Here’s one of the delicious background paintings from the show…reminiscent of the semi-abstract science fiction paperback paintings by Richard Powers. These were painted by master designer Nick Jennings!
Lots of funky character designs by Craig McCracken, Thaddeus Couldron and of course Derek Drymon!
This stuff is only a tiny sample of the cartoon bounty over at Derek’s new Danger Planet Blog…go on over and take a look, and then call up Cartoon Network and tell ‘em we want more Danger Planet!
Wow, I haven't heard about this. As you might expect, I really like the design and animation of the alien creature. And the backgrounds are very retro sci-fi. Is this one of those Cartonn Network "Cartoonstitute" experiments (recently killed), or a pilot with legs?
ReplyDeleteHi Bob...apparently Danger Planet is a part of Cartoonstitute
ReplyDeletebut maybe if it gets anough heat on YouTube they will reconsider...
WOWOWOWOW! that shapeshifting alien is AWESOME. such a great concept, and really glad to see super solid drawings on a character. Really solid and appealing, and it moves wonderfully! Thanks for sharing, Sherm!
ReplyDelete@Chris---yeah, isn't that deer-alien the creepiest thing ever? Chalk it up to the fevered brains of Drymon and Ted Couldron!
ReplyDeleteI saw it this past weekend. I enjoyed it a lot more than most stuff I've seen
