Extras, Miscellaneous, & Whatnot
In addition to designing the central characters involved in a particular storyboard, the character designer has several other responsibilities. Here are some examples of the work that goes into a given assignment: A sampling of incidental background characters, special character poses done to help guide the overseas animators, and a special mouthmchart, designed to accommodate a specific line reading (in this case, by Jerry Trainer- the voice of Dudley Puppy). All of these images were created for the same TUFF Puppy episode: "Doom Mates".

I LOVE your sketches. They are too much fun. that monkey on the first page is just amazing, and in general there are so many great expressions.
Thank you Kendra! I appreciate your comments very much!
Wicked. All your lines and shapes and angles are so strong and smooth. Loved the spaces in between them.
Diggin these pieces :)
Great drawings!!Amazing blog!
haha! Dudley's talking in slow motion! Also, I love the sketch of Kitty and Dudley paused in the middle of beating the snot out of each other. =) I'm gonna get some T.U.F.F. Puppy pictures to put in my locker. (Well, if they fit.)
Alex and Anonymous- thank you!
Alex- Nice debut of your own blog! A really strong start! (There was no way to comment though?)
Wow! What great pages! I lvoe the tiny bunny on the first page and the lip sync guide on the last. Is that a little industry secret? using the word Chameleon to show mouths shapes??? Great idea! Lovely blog. =D
Thanks Gillibean! That "chameleon" mouth chart isn't an industry secret or standard... just a very specific line reading from the voice actor that required a special attention. We get those every once in a while. Thanks again for your comments!
