This was a long one, but, ultimately, so much fun! Cumulatively, I'd say I put about a year and a half into drawing Stitch. Of course there
were the starts and stops that came from rewrites and the shoot being interrupted by both the Writers and Actors guild strikes. After my initial run of preproduction boarding,
I would return to help fill out the edit during the strike, then again to help prep for the owed photography shoot post-strike, and even again to (poorly) help
with some sketch-viz for the VFX animators.
And it wasn't just me.
Although we never shared an office, I worked with a great bunch of artists. And half the time, we'd never know we were working on the same
project. All part of remote working from home, I suppose.
So here's a large sampling of the work I did on Lilo & Stitch. Even with the inclusion of some select deleted or alternate scenes, there are a vast amount of drawings that
will never be seen. There were just so many different variations on this film. Sometimes the changes would be small and minor, and sometimes vast, with reaching story repercussions.
I was always being asked to come up with fun Stitch antics in ever-changing scenarios- really, what more could I ask for?
Take a look and see!
