Horton....

A while back I was offered a storyboard test from the fine folks at Bluesky in New York for their upcoming Horton feature. The project sounded very cool, here's a character I really liked from not only the Seuss books but also the Jones and Clampett cartoons. Unfortunately the timing wasn't right. I was (and am still currently) working at a job I really like, so I had to respectfully decline. So they came back to me and suggested they could work around my schedule and that I could possibly be brought on doing freelance from home and would I please reconsider. I said that I would think it over. Finally I agreed that if my schedule permited I would at least take the test. Unfortunately, things at work got pretty crazy, in a busy, good kinda way and I was not able to complete the test. I did however do a bunch of little thumbnails and rough sketches for the test and thought I'd share some of those drawings here.
