Okay.

Dagglepuss fluff with and without silly dialogue

So not all bosses are created equal. While there’s stern and organized bosses like Windy, there’s also… not as assertive bosses like Pile, the boss of the Cloud Domain.

Pile is a very “friendly” boss. He doesn’t like to micromanage, doesn’t like to do a lot of paperwork, and isn’t as fond of conflict. By consequence, he’s given a lot of his workers the autonomy (or rather, they took it) to make decisions for themselves for their day to day tasks.

However, Pile, the overly creative visionary that he is, does a good job at outlining his ideas and concepts for cloud development, which in effect, inspire his workers and leaving them in awe, leaving his subordinate manager to take care of the rest. This working relationship somehow manages to work.

Pile is a bit of a hoarder, and collects things, notably items from Earth that he makes a “cloud copy” of, and leaves them in his towering office. His obsession of earthly things leads him to be very knowledgeable on Earth, it’s workings, and its inhabitants. He also draws “inspiration” from his collection, and uses these ideas when designing/architecting clouds.

Pile, I would say, was one of the hardest characters for me to design, mostly because of the amount of ideas I had for him, ultimately, with the help of several artists (Clipey, KeysaMoguri, Komoroshi, and deadstraybear), he’s now a pretty big, simple, and lovable Kermode bear.

All finished with my Kirby animation!

This movie is way too under appreciated in my opinion… The fandom is practically non-existent…

And I don’t understand why? The plot was fantastic.

All of the characters were lovable.

There was no one that you absolutely could not stand.

The “bad guy” was actually the main character, Kenai. Which was an interesting twist for Disney.

But by building a bond with this young cub (Koda), and seeing the world through the eyes of a bear, he realized that he (as a man) had been the monster… Not bears.

I mean, talk about character development…

Koda: Those monsters are really scary… Especially with their sticks.

And for me, this scene right here was one of my most emotional Disney moments. You can’t even here Kenai telling the actual story… But you can see their facial expressions and you can just feel it. You know exactly what he’s saying to Koda.

Kenai: Well, I have a story to tell you.

Koda: Really? What’s it about?

Kenai: Well, it’s kind of about a man… and kind of about a bear. But mostly, it’s about a monster.

… Koda… I did something very wrong.

Okay, but on a lighter note?

The animation was incredible.

Amazing.

It was a powerful movie about brotherly love, guidance, and responsibility, and it truly is one of my favorite Disney movies ever.

Not to mention the soundtrack is amazing. You can’t go wrong with Phil Collins.

The fandom will never be huge, but the movie definitely deserves more credit. If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend it.

I was asked by patron Bonabopn to draw a scene of mice preparing a pizza for a dragon!

Meet Easton and Weston, the rowdy managers of the Wind Domain.

(Illustration by Lineshark!)

Easton is known to come off as brash and sometimes cold. Very headstrong and rowdy, and pushes hard to get things done.

Weston is known to have a more warm-hearted personality.  He’s known for his philosophical quotes, and curious nature.

Although they’re able to work together really well, their frequent quarrels can be quite… turbulent.

Easton and Weston’s designs were done by Eclipticafusion aka Clipey (who’s worked on a lot of cool designs for the game so far!). 

We wanted to go with a brute and mobster look for these two characters, and came back with these after only a couple of iterations!

Clipey also came up with some overworld sprites for the characters, which Rachel Yew did an excellent job animating!
