And now something new!
Here’s a clip and some artwork from a flash-animated series pilot I worked on at Cosmic Toast earlier this year.

Without revealing too much, the show centers around a team of super-powered kids who take the fight against childhood obesity up an epic peg, mostly against their arch-nemesis… a crazed, sugar-tempting super-villain.

And– with the exception of Marina’s awesome character designs and David & Max’s soundtrack; plus loads of great feedback– I boarded, animated and composited the entire short myself, on and off over the span of a month or so.
[UPDATE] I should quickly note that despite my heavy involvement in the process, that I am not actually the creator of the show– rather, that distinction belongs to Kenny, Bill and David. Just FYI.

Though, as show-biz goes, we’re re-tooling the characters to appease the target-demographic gods, and likely creating a new pilot from scratch. A bummer, sure– but this new direction is already shaping up to be way better than the former.

I’ll definitely post more as we continue developing this series… but for now, a short clip of an epic intercept of our bad guy on his remote-island hideout. Enjoy!
