As I overindulge in revisiting my favorite childhood cartoons, I started thinking (inevitably) about my own body of work and what I could do next. I started thinking--perhaps dangerously--about what hasn't been done yet, and I realized that we really haven't had an animal-centric show located in the rainforest about a resort/spa run by said rainforest animals! So, I decided to make one. Still doing animal research--there are so many to choose from!--but I'm liking the capybara and the tapir as two early front-runners for main characters. Also doing some "location scouting". Below are some early, quick animal sketches as I do my research. I've also begun to develop the capybara character, which I see as being a John Candy type--lovable, but slow. More to follow..
