I assume the design changes of the two underwater superheroes was due to the voice actors they hired for them (Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway.)</p>http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/33243792867http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/33243792867Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:09:00 -0400SpongebobSpongebob Squarepantscharacter designcharacter designsStephen HillenburgNickelodeonanimationconcept artPatrick StarPatrickMr. KrabsSquidward<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mai1hgaurZ1ry1t1so1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>For all you<em> Shrek</em> fans! Professional wrestler Maurice Tillet, aka The French Angel, was the inspiration for Shrek’s character design. I have to say that I still prefer Carter Goodrich’s designs instead.</p> <p>Another fun fact: Both <strong>Bill Murray</strong> and <strong>Chris Farley</strong> were cast to play Shrek. Farley actually recorded 80-90% of the dialogue before his death. Don’t you want to hear that recording???</p>http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/31730517794http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/31730517794Mon, 17 Sep 2012 10:56:04 -0400Maurice TilletShrekDreamworkscharacter designsBill MurrayChris Farleyanimationcartooncartoons<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9w0eoLzAB1ry1t1so1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9w0eoLzAB1ry1t1so2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9w0eoLzAB1ry1t1so3_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://www.geraldscarfe.com/">Gerald Scarfe</a></p>http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/30940015921http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/30940015921Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:25:36 -0400Gerald ScarfeillustratorillustrationartRolling StonesMick Jaggerartistillustrations<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9ifw58HYo1ry1t1so1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Erich Sokol</p>http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/30445612630http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/30445612630Wed, 29 Aug 2012 05:33:41 -0400Erich SokolIllustrationIllustrationsartartsbearpoliticspoilitical cartoon<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9ief2dLG51ry1t1so1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9ief2dLG51ry1t1so2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://www.normansaunders.com/">Norman Saunders</a></p>http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/30444904504http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/30444904504Wed, 29 Aug 2012 05:01:50 -0400Norman SaundersIllustrationIllustratorSci Fialienmonsterart<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9idvzMCCI1ry1t1so1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9idvzMCCI1ry1t1so2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9idvzMCCI1ry1t1so3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9idvzMCCI1ry1t1so4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://cartergoodrich.com/">Carter Goodrich</a> concept art for <em>Ratatouille</em></p>http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/30444652995http://jalopy.tumblr.com/post/30444652995Wed, 29 Aug 2012 04:50:00 -0400Carter Goodrichconept artRatatouillePixarCharacter designcharacter designsanimationart<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9idqd2FgN1ry1t1so1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p>Hey everyone,</p> <p>I have some big news for all you 90s Kids and <em>Rocko’s Modern Life</em> fans!
