Mikey Butts BEST Development Art.
Original artwork. Pencil on animation paper. I REALLY like this page of development artwork and I'm reluctant to let it go, but everything must go! This was drawn close to the end of character design and we had landed Mikey's look.
Mikey Butts, Milo's best friend and most pathetic kid at school. Mikey's butt cheeks are large and floppy, hanging down behind him. Why? Because when I created The Oblongs, I was super immature and I thought that was funny. Ha. I kind of still do.
Here's a little backstory about Mikey Butts. I wanted Pickles Oblong (Milo's mother) to hate Mikey. He would be terrified of her and she would say things like, "Milo, why are you bringing that into my house again," using her lit cigarette to point at him. "Didn't we talk about leaving it on the porch?"
From The Oblongs animated series.
