THUNDERCATS, HO!
Here’s another smidget of Midnight Marauders: The Art of LeSean Thomas Vol.2 (which features a collage of work mostly produced inside of ’06-’07) scheduled for release this summer.
There’s been a lot of talk about the recent Thundercats animated series by WB animation being brought back. Currently it’s been put on hold. That said, i’d like to finally reveal that I was working as the lead character designer in development on this new show along with mega talent and cool buddy, Sam Liu (Godzilla animated). Here’s just a smidget of the amount of designs produced for this project since the final look isnt near this.
Early Lion-o, and I wont get too far into who the kid is, but i think you can get the idea. below are several very, very, VERY EARLY ideas on how to approach the look graphically. I like the original pass out of the 3 the best though. more organic, y’know? I realize from a fanboy stand-point, this can easily turn into a scathing debate on “right and wrong” regarding our beloved thundercats, hee, hee, but i have to admit i was having some fun on this project.
fun stuff…..
very nice! so is this going in effect! i heard stuff here antd there! well i cant wait to see the second sketch book for the summer!
-alero!
I don’t know if you know this or not but there is something wrong with your main website. Nice work by the way!
already fixed it this morning, thanks:)
Love your art… I really do!
But I didn´t like the designs… Something is very of with them. But you got a LOT of credit with me haha…A LOOOOOOOTTTT!!!
Incredible Designs though I know what you mean about everyone having an opinion about how Thundercats should be used. I’m curious though, is this the same pitch/project that 2-cents (http://2-cents.deviantart.com/) (his real name is eluding me at the moment but I believe he’s a director on Avatar)
Also great stuff! I’m constantly a fan and inspired while also an aspiring animator and char-designer.
Great stuff as usual. Love the designs overall, I’d have to see the direction they go in to know if I agree with it or not. But really cool work.
So good it’s scary! I wanna see this version happen! Love the direction!
Nasty wicked man! Too bad on the hold – this would kill!!!
