thunderstrike

Hmm...classic butt-rock moniker, metallic Hot Wheels finish with purple insides - a worthy tribute to the 1980s Tranformers universe. I am certain that Flash lends itself perfectly towards a great 2D appearance with a hint of dimensionality.

Robot version is already in its concept stage...sit tight!

transformers - 1964

No schoolbus-yellow Chevy or Super Beetle (for the die-hard Transformer pilgrims) - countless hours of getting my '64 Bird summer ready was the spark for this Autobot. Perfect timing , with the newTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie hitting the screens this June.

At this point in time I'm deciding if I should finalize this concept in Flash or 3D MAX - stay tuned!

nameless child

OK, George isn't the optimal name for this seven-year old(definitely more in tune with that genre director who makes those really great zombie movies). So if you have a couple minutes to spare while waiting for the leftovers to warm up in the microwave - please send some ideas my way. Thanks!

george - first pass (including the name)

George (name still not fixed) is the leading character from my children's book that has been drifting around the trove of creativity in my head. Designing a viable character of a seven-year-old boy with appeal to an audience of the same proves quite a challenge. The spectrum of cartoon kids ranges from the socially repressed neurotic and his beagle to the hyperactive escapist and his stuffed tiger. Whatever the options, this is still a work-in-progress.

This is my first post...more or less. No great words of wisdom just yet, but no need to despair - the grand opening isn't for another 19 hours according to www.troublefish.com. So to whomever is reading this - get the popcorn ready, drop the chaise-lounge an extra notch and STAY TUNED!
