Winter 2010 - 11, Flash/Animate CC with some Photoshop. "Sketchy Pete" was a cartoon property we were developing on our own dime. Pete is a loner who talks with his three-limbed pet tadpole, and butts heads with his schoolyard nemesis Miriam through imaginary, yet epic battles that begin on his sketchpad. My creative director wanted a run-down melancholy look for Pete's world, so I looked at rust belt towns and added some watercolor paintings for misty texture. When the fantasy sequences began(at 3, 5 and 8 o'clock on the collage), much of the landscape would go to outlines or disappear, while color would become more vibrant and the watercolor elements more pronounced. I really enjoyed finding ways to layer flash elements and watercolors together. I posed characters created by my colleagues on storyboards and created the layouts and composite backs. The logotype was created by our graphic designer.
