#DEFINITELY going to be adding Bug to my cast of characters I enjoy drawing fanart of. cancellation be damned

Another cancelled LAIKA project

I was talking to @ayupglitterz about our shared interest in a concept artist/2D animator. Apparently he did some work on a LAIKA film that never made it past pre-production. Here are some character design exploration drawings from his blog.

According to the file names on the site, this character's name is "Bug" After some more digging, We found out that this movie was going to be based off of the book "The Wall and the Wing". Where Bug travels with his supernatural friend, a girl cleverly named "Gurl" (seriously?)

It gives me strong 'Moongirl meets Wendell and Wild' vibes. Just from these drawings alone, Bug looks like a very arrogant yet compelling character, already oozing with the signature 'LAIKA kid' personality. Regardless of how far it might have gotten into the pre-production stage, it still looks better than Earwig and the Witch.
