Some "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" Designs
Here's a hodge podge of designs from the episode, "Cheese A GoGo" which is now showing on Cartoon Network. I didn't get to design any new friends for this episode, mostly just humans and special poses.
Cool! I didnt know you worked on Fosters. Its my husbands favorite show...he will sit and watch it for hours. I like Cheese. These are really nice Ben!
Looks great Ben!
ReplyDeleteDamn, man. You really are in a class by your self. These characters are great!
ReplyDeleteHey, that's very very cool! Especially the 2nd page.
ReplyDeleteLove your line weights and your super clean style. The poses are great! Do you just do the pencils and have someone do the character clean up?

Great poses, Ben! The style doesnt feel much like Foster's anymore though. I think you're over-volumizing the designs. They need more simplifcation.
