Here’s how Laika’s artists and technicians made Monkey, a key character for their next release, “Kubo and the Two Strings.”

“It starts with a kind of classically proportioned character,” says David Vanderwoot, character artist, “but a chip in the tooth, or a little tuft of hairs not quite in place, really endear a character to the audience.”

MD: Toward the end of production on season two of Avatar The Last Airbender, Nickelodeon asked us to create some extra content that could be used online or on DVDs. We immeditately thought of doing shorts in a “super deformed” and chibi style, which is popular among anime fans. The style was simpler, the stories were sillier, and everyone involved had a really great time breaking away from the normal style of the show. Designs by Bryan Konietzko and Seung Hyun Oh.

Production Designer’s Notebook #005

Flint Lockwood’s apartment interior: Rough pencil sketch & final design.

The tiny flat that Flint Lockwood and his father, Tim, are sharing in San Franjose was an interesting assignment. The Directors asked me to create an environment that would clearly illustrate the two distinct personalities of the characters that divided the room in half: Tim Lockwood’s earthy traditional values that are fixed in the past on one side, and Flint’s limitless sense of invention and self-expression on the other. Tim’s side is 70’s earth-tones and Flint’s side is an 80’s science experiment. Neither one of them can relate to the contemporary world and neither one of them wants to. They are both living in their own happy realities, while coexisting side by side.

*There are small changes between the rough and the final that were motivated by changes in story, but for the most part, I was able to keep my concept pretty consistent from start to finish.
