Peppa!

He owns a lighting shop and loves lights and optics. He's also in the sailing club but he actually gets seasick easily so it's kind of silly for him to be in the club.

hasbro has pissed me the fuck off with the newest thing i just read, so im just going to leak all the 2025 franchise plans because im angry or something idk im new to this whole "IM ANGRY SO I LEAK STUFF" thing am i doing it right

Peppa and george are getting their own separate rooms, baby pig too, and theres a garage. The rest of the rooms are just the house we know with minor adjustments,, i think they maybe will execute it well seeing as how the writer team is doing, so im open to the result of it all being cute, i just hope they dont mess up with such a big change.

Peppa Pig's class as humans! i kinda forgot Gerald giraffe but oh well.

i'll never shut up about this peppa pig background character hes so UGLY

Edit 1 year later for a fun fact to the people seeing this now: im pretty sure his rig asset was meant to be used in the Paris episode but got scrapped and then they accidentally included him in The Carnival which was a few episodes after that,, he only appears in 2 different (less than) 1 second clips and in both of them he is super hidden in the background and mostly covered by other background characters

he was never ever used again and a friend of mine still considers him a "peppa pig cryptid" to this day

and um. accidentally found the file for the intro some time ago so heres the peppa pig intro with no background

So thats kinda cool

The shapekey testing in question (ignore how weirdly polygonal the mouth isss it kinda broke while i was doing it)

Also like 5 official fonts and thats about it i will keep you all updatedd

I have made a perfect and aesthetically pleasing turnaround rig for peppa for all the people who complained about her artstyle not making sense. Truly stunning. /s

Okay, irony aside, I think this is as "good" as a frontfacing peppa can look, but by that point its really innacurate and still looks...off. peppa's current artstyle just works for the show.

(Bonus Peppafact: the pig family *does* have turnaround frames for their rigs! They are scary.)

I saw tons of new episode previews for episodes that arent even listed anywhere yet but heres the one thing that caught my eye, a new character!

Some of them ended up being reused as "Extras" (bg characters), or being reworked into other characters, though some ultimately disappeared.

Reused:

Penny Pony (part of the early main cast, turned into a bg character and replaced by pedro)

Randy Rhino (i think they literally just forgot to make him actually be relevant in an episode im so serious like he was actually meant to be a main character but they forgot and eventually rohan rhino took his place as the side character rhino kid) (hes from very early on btw9

Paris animal (a wonky character rig rejected for the paris episode but accidentally used in the carnival one, its unclear what his species is)

Carol Cow (character they cut into a bg character last second, she was meant to debut alongside penny polar bear and lotte llama, even having merch of the three with an updated rig design for carol made for that season. its unknown why they cut her short. like actually they had everything ready its so confusing,, also she was a bg character since the start of the show and was confirmed to be mr bull and mrs cows daughter in various instances so the fact she didnt show up to their wedding and never appeared in a bg after the wedding episode is odd)

bonus: caeruleam cat,, she was never meant to be in the show and was used in a social media post from 2012 that may or may not be impossible to recover as of now but i like her

Unused, from the original season 1 pitch:

Babysitter (They were originally, well, gonna babysit Peppa and George. They were scrapped and the episodes concept was reused with granny and grandpa.)

Neighbor 1 (One of Peppa's neighbors. He would debut in an episode titled "Pet", where he would own a parrot. Extra fact: Grandpa Pig didn't exist at this point in development, but Granny did, having her own cut episode from the pitch) (other bonus fact: grandpa pig and polly are both reused characters from an old film by astley baker davies in the 80s, "Jolly Roger")

Neighbors 2 (family of presumably 4 described as shy, they would debut in an episode titled "New Neighbors".)

Nurse (unnamed, possibly an early draft of suzy. keep in mind peppas friends were made after about episode 45, and by then they didnt even know if the other characters should be pigs or not, so its not "suzy" necessarily but an early concept that turned into suzy, this applies to the other pitch characters like the babysitter and neighbors, their species was never defined or thought out properly.)

theres prob more but i cant remember rn

heres a lineup for reference,,

left to right: paris animal/carnival creature, penny pony, randy rhino, carol, redesigned/scrapped carol, caeruleam cat

also a spot the difference
