My Nephew asked me to make a cartoon version of his High Altitude Balloon Project crew, so this was my first concept pass. From left to right, manufacturer/welder, communications, visionary, energy, and programmers stylized after Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. RIP Steve. Rot in hell, Bill Monsanto/Xe/Blackwater.
We roughed out a 30 second intro cartoon, which then spawned ideas about what these characters do, how they met, personalities, conflicts - you know, group dynamics ala Joss Whedon </worship>. Since the first sketch was based on real 7 head high humans and the story expanded into science fiction, I opted to for the 7.5 to 8 head high hero physique.
There are more sketches on the way, with new characters, villains and environments.
