A fan art depicting André in a rare pose, a rare picture of André & Wally B.
In this post in particular, I have decided to post two André & Wally B.-related pictures simultaneously: a fan art that is made 100% by myself and a rare picture.
The first attached picture is a piece of André & Wally B. fan art, titled "André lying back in the grass". As its name implies, it literally depicts André lying on the grass as he breaks the fourth wall. I remember that most fan arts featuring André himself depict him either standing or sitting. I guess I may be the first artist to draw him lying while his back is visible.
The second one is a bonus. This one is a rare picture, namely a concept art of The Adventures of André & Wally B. that explains how a geometrical shape called "teardrop" was created in order to model André's torso. It was found in the official website of The Pixar Touch, a book about the animation company in question. More specifically, it was found in a blog article titled "Art challenging technology". However, as of 2022, nearly all links that use its domain have been deprecated and currently redirect to the article about the book itself in the author's personal website. Luckily, I managed to save the high resolution version of this concept art two years earlier. Thereby, I (re)publish this concept art under fair use for preservation.
That's all what I wanted to tell about both pictures. Isn't André adorable?

If I had a nickel for every time a Disney employee confirmed a popular ship through art, even though Disney tried to deny it, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?

Many people noticed that Giulia has similar clothes to Tombo from Kiki's Delivery Service
But Luca and Alberto also have outfits, strikingly similar to those of Conan from old Ghibli cartoon Future Boy Conan!
In most concept art, Luca is wearing white shirt, more closely resembling the one that Conan wore for some time
But in the movie, it has blue stripes, more similar to the one that on Fio
It was confirmed that towns name Portorosso - is a reference to Porco Rosso (It was also a second name of Luca in early concepts)
Could Luca's shirt be another Porco Rosso reference?
In my opinion, Future Boy Conan must've had a huge inspiration on Alberto character, not only his design, but also behavior, lifestyle and houses very similar!
I highly recommend this classic anime!
