Diff




Here's yet another character from the failed "Crash Nebula" series. Diff was a gelatinous shape changing alien who befriended Crash at the celestial Academy. I did a ton of concepts until we reached a design that Butch was happy with.

It is to bad that show never took off, there were some great designs done for it. Luckily I did catch the pilot episode on Nick one day just by chance.

Hey Ben,

Welcome back from scotland. So you survived the castle?! I know we were a few worried bloggers;)
Awesome characters as always and as mentioned numorous times before....delicious linework!. It's always a treat to see your construction sheets, which is a big help in understanding how to communicate ones ideas and designs.

Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend:)
