Pocket Science Cartoon (3)

Here he is folks! Star of the show—"Clay" the junior scientist! If I had to summarize Clay in a word, it would be "curiosity". He wants to know how everything works, what everything is called, and what everything does. Clay is a field researcher - and it's his job to go out into the jungle planet and collect samples and do research. His deepest desire is to become a great scientist.

Clay's pocket is like a "Marry Poppins' magic bag": he can pull whatever tools/supplies/equipment he needs out of it. Clay's weakness, aside from being a little naive, is a lack of confidence. Sometimes he puts on a little fake moustache to make himself feel a bit more grown up. (Also clay has a little plant living in his pocket - we'll see more about that tomorrow).

Clay's design was the hardest for me. I must have been through a million revisions in the last year. I think I finallly landed on a look that really encapsulates his personality and is appealing (hopefully). A lot of things about my cartoon are inspired by the world traveling me and my family did last year. For example, clay's tunic is definitely inspired by our time in India.

This Friday I am driving out to Burbank California to pitch my cartoon "Pocket Science" to Channel Frederator!
