These little frames were done for Disney/Character Builder's "Tarzan II".
The DVD is not available in Limbololand so I don't know whether they used them.

Treasure Island


Dr. Livesy.

Billy Bones.

Jock


Jock is a male lowland gorilla. At the time I did this painting he was about to be shipped out to Bristol Zoo because an intractable quarrel had broken out between him and one of the female gorillas.
He would sit for about an hour at a time, crouching down with his hand on his chin, gazing into the distance.

This is concept artwork for a commercial for Vodaphone which was to be produced by Aardman Films in Bristol.
It would have been the basis for a CGI 'set'. In the end the clients decided to make the commercial in live action.
