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.

Randomly had the urge to draw this man and his funney shadow dude again- I’m still not over how this movie deserved so much better.
Bonus doodles of Shadow Dan/Stan because he is the most character ever:
He’s just a fun little shadow dude- He deserved SO much better.

I hope Barbie is so good and successful it makes every executive that’s turned everything bright and fun made for young girls into edgy boring teen dramas for the last ten years spontaneously combust into flames

Drawing For Nothing is out!
Forgot to announce this here but the first ten chapters for Drawing For Nothing have been released! For those who missed the last post, this is a free, digital art book for animated films that were either canceled or bombed due to complicated issues.
https://www.drawingfornothing.com/
More chapters are to come. A few highlights in the next installation will be My Peoples and Larrikins.
Also, if anyone wants to help research, feel free to send a DM! We're also working on a new cover that will feature custom artwork of various characters from these movies. If you think you got what it takes to draw in the style of another artist, we would appreciate the help!

It’s 2024 and Margot Robbie wasn’t nominated for the Oscar of Best Actress for Barbie and Greta Gerwing got snubbed for the Best Director but Ryan Gosling got nominated for playing Ken ?! Looks like everyone has still not understood the message behind Barbie…
