Digby Christmas Special

So I've finally started feeling a bit Christmas-y. Thought I'd post some panels from the Digby Christmas 2-part special that I boarded a year ago, but will finally be on TV Next month. Below is an extract from part one. A bit of a snowball fight.

A bit of Bertie

False Taxidermy

So a few months ago Blue Zoo Animation (where I have been working) decided to have a little competition to create some False taxidermy for the studio walls. I deiced to create 'Gunter':

 Made using newspaper, cardboard, ModRok, Air dry clay, then painted with acrylic and covered with fur. 

Gunter won me the competition :D 

Coming Soon!

So, This is the reason I have been quite quiet this last year. I have bee working as a full time, in house Storyboard artist on Digby Dragon! (And... I've also written one of the episodes) Its been very hush hush, This is probably the first image of the final Digby and friends available on the internet, before there was just the original pilot and old designs when it was aimed at a much younger audience (I've also included below- its very interesting how far it's come) MORE SOON!!!

Original designs (back in 2013) -
