With [Sketchpad], I want to make it as cliche-free as I can or if I do a cliche, I want to at least poke fun at it somewhat. There are so many cliches in cartoons today and there are 3 that I simply refuse to do: shrinking to explore the body, weight gain/health message and body swapping. They've been done to death so I don't feel [Sketchpad] would break any new ground going there. However, there is one cliche that I'm simply fascinated by and, if you didn't guess by the picture, it's time travel. I really love when character go back or forward through time and see other versions of themselves. I may have made mention to something like this in an earlier post.
Getting to the point of this post, with Mr. Lightning being my declared favorite character, I wondered what he'd look like in the time travel episode. Basically, I've always known the next evolution of Mr. Lightning would involve him putting on pants. I think the pants make him look taller. I have a few other future designs that I may do for future blog posts.
