Using this one (bottom right :)

My word we did a lot of work for WB in the early days. Characters, backgrounds, story ideas, drawing guides, manifestos for REBOOTS, The BUILD YOUR OWN WRESTLER elements for their website...and even the WB Publicity style guides...

*EDITED with the correct room number so it makes SENSE!

SO -o-o...maybe, just maybe, there was a Room 408 Room 208 at the World's Foremost International School Of Masked Wrestling containing some up and coming luchadores of a different kind with a different skill set?

(Obviously not connected to ML! in any every way shape or form nope. Would I even imply that? Me?) YES!

Also thinking of adding THIS GUY...

Cue, The Prodigy: 'He's a fire starter, twisted fire starter...'

Some unrefined designs...please don't look too closely at the linework just yet! There's an idea and story developing here...maybe it will go somewhere. All I know is that I am having more guilty fun than I should be working on these misfits!

QUESTION

So can someone please enlighten me, so I don't have to dig through DVDs...

Was Kurtz's class Room 207? I have early designs that have another number assigned to it, so I'm confused...

Fantastic Sketch by Lili Chin for the 'Para Siempre' project a few years back.

While I love this, I've since realized I'm over 'aging' the characters these days. Whatever I do/may do in the future regarding ML!, I think they will remain around 2.5 heads high :)

Random stuff...Socorro took a LOT out of me (feature length animatic with dialogue and music) so while I wait for developments I'm moving forward with something fun and a little less intense!

...all the while I still plan out some animation key frames for Socorro: Here Rayo and his mentor demonstrate some of their Chin-Na techniques...

(Warning: VERY rough animation, cos that's how I work :)

Then I can start getting wilder with the movement...

One of my favorite visuals. No matter where you went to see a lucha libre event - California or Mexico - you would always see the luchadores arrive at the venue pulling their suitcases behind them!

Background note: Like Mucha Lucha! , Los Campeones was animated entirely in Flash The backgrounds were created in Flash also, and I imported textures I created in a third party program called Expression (by Creature House).

Poster for the Porchlight DVD release from 2011. I personally prefer the original DVD release with the original source music, from which I've uploaded in segments on the slammin' donuts youtube channel.

Logged into my fb account for the first time since 2014 and found this random smattering of series and comic ideas...

L to R: 1. Dead Ringo - Having a high-need baby, I was forced to work into the early hours of the morning, hence results like this... 2. Lili Chin and I pitched a version of Dance Crasher to Disney. Of course we had to put together a companion CD mix to go with it. 3. Influenced by the great French artists Serge Clerc and Yves Chaland, this is the first comic I tried to do way back when I was in my early twenties. It didn't go very far. Being in a band made me postpone my art career until I was in my thirties.

Dance Crasher storyboard concept sketches. I really wish we could have pulled this one off...

'Here's Jimmy'. Jimmy meets Dr, Bill for some chat show therapy. 2. 'The Adventures of Davy Croquette'. Yes he was a potato croquette in a coonskin cap. I know, I know...3. The Bostie Boys storyboard sketches for 'King Of Corny Island'.

Love this...can't believe it's taken me so long to repost it. Brain fog.

Say what you will about Piñata’s coat, but when the end of the world blizzard hits you’ll be able to see her coming at ya.

Still keep coming back to these...

@mars--madness

I love it every time I see someone inspired enough to do their take on Mucha Lucha! These fantastic, dynamic poses from @mars--madness are some of my all-time favorites

Overlooking the dodgy linework, I'm happy with how Rayo X's 'Socorro' design is looking. For me it's all about the shape: I want him to be curvy and fluid, as opposed to the 'blocky' Rayo we designed for Los Campeones. I feel this design will in turn lend itself to more fluid animation.

Rayo and his mentor/maestro. He does have a name, but I'm still unecided about the final version of it.

I remember being at one of those Joe Barbera Birthday celebrations at WB Animation, and the great character designer Iwao Takamoto telling us that the Jetsons' designs were based on spoons! Shapes! I remember looking at my co-creator Lili Chin, and we were both...'Yeah I get it...I can see that'.

This is actually pretty great!
