New Look and a little tease

As promised, I have posted a new skin for mojomannimation. It goes with my personal site, mojomann.com. And now for the tease...

I have been working on a new animation short/trailer/teaser for a little while and I wanted to let everyone see a little of the progress. The short is based on the upcomming Hellboy animated shows that will be on Cartoon Network. Over the July 4th holiday, I hope to have my new website complete and up. It will have a microsite just for the Hellboy short with all sorts of goodies. For now here is a tease for you all. Of course the sharp ones will notice a certain red guy in the header of the new design too.



Thanks to 'Cheeks' for the heads up, I forgot to mention a few credits for this. Hellboy is © of Mike Mignola, Hellboy Animated is © of IDT Entertainment and Revolution Studios. The background is a reference posted previously at the Hellboy Animated Blog and is owned by IDT Entertainment and Revolution Studios. It's for this shot only and won't be in my animation. The pose is referenced from a sculpt by the talented sculptor, Tony Cipriano which is based off of the production designs by my friend, Sean 'Cheeks' Galloway...whoo, lots of credit to go around. Like the Justice Leauge trailer I did, this is inspired by the works of many wonderful artist that are involved with the actual production. I want to pay homage to their work and the character that I love so much. Everything in my animation is being recreated or designed by me in vector format so it will be easier to animate and so I am not using the actual works from the production. Going forward any references based on production work will be duly noted with credit to any indivuduals and said copyright holders.

hey man, you might want to include credit of the background, and the credit to the pose you used, and also to the sculpt you referenced off of, so that the right people don;t get notified, for you taking credit for pieces that are clearly already been publicized on the net. IDT/Film Roman are very sue happy about their property especially the background they created and for the pose i created that the sculpt was based on.

just wanna make sure you don't get into any trouble. :)
