Jacks designs
During the process of designing the characters we went through many different instances of design. Initially The Jackalope Boyz started as The Iguana Boyz but the dev. execs wanted us to change that due to a conflict with another Monsoon short.
Below is the original design and the subsequent designs that led up to the final one.
This is the original designs
We liked the designs but they had to change so...first we tried monkeys...
Then we refined on that idea...
Then we tried parrots...
Then we hit on the idea of making then into jackalopes!
Building on that we started from scratch and this is what first came out...
Then we got some notes from the execs and we refined it a bit...
and ultimately we tweeked and tweeked until we ended with the final result which is what you will see when the film premieres!

In retrospect, the monkey designs were actually very cool! We may have to do something with monkeys eventually.
I also like the monkeys but I will say the Jackalopes were a very good find. If I'm not mistaken we've done that frequently... created a set of characters only to change them enough but still somehow use the original. I still think we can use the Iguana Boys down the road as well. Originally even THEY were The Buffalo Boys and were named Bobby Joe and Boo. Ideas are sometimes easy to turn over and reuse if they're good from the get go.
