With Halloween coming around and even though only Coraline and ParaNorman are kid horror films, The Boxtrolls and Kubo and the Two Strings do have some scary-like scenes. The Laika Kids is also a well liked crossover when it comes to Laika Studio's young child protagonists, Coraline Jones, Norman Babcock, Eggs Trubshaw and Kubo, it only seems right that I do a crossover collage on them.
Artober Day 18: Norman
A Paranorman piece today! I love drawing this spooky boy!
See you tomorrow with the next piece, and let me know if you want one!
Eu: Mas pede 10 anos de experiência na área, ter filmes lançados em que eu participei e conhecimento em uns softwares de textura e edição que nunca ouvi falar
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.
Dang I'm so sad that we still don't have our Wifi fixed! So out of boredom I made this random thing on our Laika Nutcracker Au instead
He was supposed to be the Coffee Princess on the ballet, but I'm curious what if he was the Desert Prince and Agatha, Kubo (the other undercover Prince) and Coraline the Kubo's Royal Guard had taken refuge on a Southwest Kingdom to hide under the Rat King/Snatcher's army
