Tom Arnold

Howdy, its shaggy.

Lately Tom Arnold has been coming into the office to offer his talents for an animation we are working on. Its called "Tom Arnold Saves the World!" Don't worry America, Tom will pull us out of this rut!

Here's a sketch and the final version :)




The sketch of his head turned out kinda crappy but I think I saved it a bit by tweaking the chin and mouths in the final illustration ;) Labamba created his body and pudgy fingers.

Big Foot goes to the Olympics!

Hola Amigos! Have you guys seen the video of that Poor Beijing Olympic weightlifter who broke his arm? Well this week Big Foot is gonna show em how its done! Here's a sneak peek of Mr. Big Foot, Background and Beijing Olympic Chinese man.

I used Illustrator to create Mr. Big Foot. He's a simple character with simple shapes so sketching was unnecessary.

Here's Shaggy's Lil' Beijing Olympic Employee doing his job. Shaggy also used Illustrator to create him.

Here's Shaggy's beautiful Olympic BG. He mainly used Illustrator, but a touch of Photoshop and Corel Painter.

Sex Position or Yoga Position

Hairy Bear Toes is working on a wonderful game called, "Sex or Yoga". In this game we show you a pic of a beautiful lady posing in a position and you have to choose weather it's a sex position or a yoga position. Hopefully after playing this game you will be able to determine if your girlfriend is in the mood and giving you subtle hints, or if she is just stretching and working on inner peace. This game could save you from some awkward moments!


Here is Hairy's design so far...



P.S. Hairy wanted to let you that "if you're looking for your puppy, its buried in his backyard."

Coming up this week in politics

By now you've probably seen those youtube vids of a person who has taken images of themselves once a day, every day for numerous years and then compiled all those images into a boring 10 minute video. Well this week Labamba is working on an animation in the same vein BUT, instead of using images that have been taken over the years, Labamba takes you into the future! Here is a sneak peak of a time lapse photography of John McCain's possible 4 years in office! 2008-2008+4!

Characters for clients

Here are some character concepts made this week for someone somewhere that might do something sometime. The dude wearing the ACDC shirt kinda reminds me of Jamie Hewlett's work (just not as awesome). It was an accident, but maybe happened because a week or so ago i was reading an interview with him about his animation he did for the olympics. His work is awesome, and might have been floating around in my empty cranium while i was doodling and found an exit through my nose and ended up on the paper :)

This week...

Hey, it's Shaggy!

This week we were going to start working on an animation with Prez Bush, Dick Cheney, and of course Obama and McCain. It was going to be titled Presidential Olympics and feature the Presidential Olympic event of baby kissing. Baby kissing is a crucial event for the presidential candidates to express their tender side to the American People. With the right technique one can raise their public image, and still secretly taste some delicious babies.

Anyway, Later on Tuesday we changed directions and are putting up a silly Olympic montage this week. Also, Monkey came up with a good way to show the progression of McCain's 4 years in office if he wins. I wont give it away but it should be silly ;) Look for that in a week or so.

Also, if you happen to be a beautiful young lady, live in the Los Angeles area, and are willing to come into our office...We need you to star in a game we are going to create :)

If you're interested, send me a pic of yourself, and i'll get back to you with more info.
