Viking Family


Here's some incidental characters from a short I was doing some work for at Disney TV. The project got cancelled last summer, but I thought I'd dig these out and post 'em anyway. I did a ton of designs for this that I'll post some other time. As always click on the image if you want to see it bigger.

  1. That's too bad it was cancelled, it looked like it could have been terribly fun to design.

    Looking forward to seeing more of them. Have a great Christmas Mr. Balistreri.
