Kung Fu Panda: Scorpion

A sneak peek of Nick's "Kung Fu Panda and the Legend of Awesomeness" aired a few weeks ago and I hear Scorpion was the featured character, so I'm thinking it's ok now to post up a few of her designs.

Awhile back, I was fortunate enough to do some freelance design on KFP. The assignment was to design two of the characters that were part of the evil version of the Furious Five. As everyone knows, Nico Marlett is a master designer, and an incredibly tough act to follow, so although I was pretty excited and honored to be able to help out, it was a daunting task. The first character we tackled was Scorpion. Here are some of the designs I submitted.




A few head explorations. She was supposed to be a duplicitous deceptive character, so the idea of multiple eyes was played around with.
In the end, I'm not sure if any of these got used for the final character in the show, but I had a great time playing around with her design. Once a few more of the episodes air, I'll post up some of the designs from the other character I got the chance to work on. Thanks for swinging by!
