I was doing some 'cleaning' today in the studio [no amount of cleaning will ever truly CLEAN it] and stumbled upon these dusty 'explorations.' Years ago I was working on what I hoped would be an animated underwater adventure with very rare and 'in medias res' sorta dialogue [read: purposefully mysterious].
Although I abandoned it, I still like some of the characters' looks...
'Pleep' is the purple one... a mix of octopus and alien. The tuning-fork upon his noggin is a nod to Marvel Comic's "Inhumans," a favorite comic of mine when I was much younger.
Pleep never said anything and inevitably looked troubled or chased. The Gifflets [smaller, smarter breeds of Pleep] always said something vaguely related to what I 'thought' Pleep was going through at the time.
Yea. Makes no sense, I know...
