I think I talked before about my obsession with model sheets. Currently I’m obsessing over 1930′s designs. These guys were inventing the stuff we’re all taking for granted right now! I wanted to hit some of that in a character with a few modern touches. Hope you like this stuff too!
*Update*
Hey guys, thanks so much for the comments and emails. We got a lot of inquiries about whether we had any plans to use him or if he was up for grabs. We have big plans for this little bot! I put together a 3D model of him last night to see if he would hold up. Pretty fun to mess with a simple character.
NICE! I would love a toy of this character… or an animated short. Great work my friend!
Love the design notes
This is like an oasis for me
It’s great to see retro respect. Limited animation these days hurts my eyes, but the early animators were kings.
haha cool
really strong design
love the limited skull face
and really diggin the page template
Wow this would translate so well into a 3d model!!!
I love it!!!
I concur, antennas should always be clear.
The perfect circle head turn around, you make it look easy but i would still manage to screw it up if i tried, lol
character looks super cool.
awesome! i love the clean, elegant design. also, the name morton is one of my favorites. also, i dig how you made each drawing on a scrap of paper that was then put onto the page. gives it that old timey i draw on paper look to it
14 thumbs up
Wow!
Beautiful, beautiful stuff, man!
thats great man! forget how awesome the little character is!! how about the design of the paper.classic man.
BEST CHARACTER EVAR…
Well Greg, it looks like you can retire. I think your work is done.
Here is a quick question. Your work always seems to have a grainy look to it. Almost like it’s done on old paper. Is that a photoshop filter or a brush. It really adds a great look to the work.
By the way… big fan
I love this piece. I can’t even explain why the character grabs me so much but it does.
wow. I would kill just to animate Morton. Love him!!!
hello man great desing, i saw this character and i want to make 3d version .
If you want , visit my gallery, i love super heroes and original art like yours.
Bye
