What is the response from animators when they see your designs? It would be awesome to animate such fluid characters.
Thanks for sharing all these KP designs, they are awesome!! Did you design any more plush or toy items? I have a bunch...I'm a nerdy fan!! =D

How long did it take to come up with designs? How many models did you go through to come up with Heather and Quinn? I heard you worked on Danny Phantom and the designs on the show are quite good. I was wondering how many of the characters you helped or made are in the show?
It can take anywhere from the first sketch to 30 sketches in coming up with one design. That's why it helps working with good directors because they will often let you know when to stop, because they are happy with the design and feel that it is right for the show. I was the first designer hired on danny phantom and played a huge role in designing the characters along with Shannon tindle at first and then Ben Balistreri. both brilliant designers. The style was definatly catered to butch hartmans sensibility and way of drawing.
Stephen,
Is "The Kid" from KP: So the Drama supposed to resemble Wayne Newton, by any chance?
yes. I based it off a photo of wayne newton
