Very Different Origins
The above art was done in Corel Dream, and touched up in Paint Shop Pro (it was before I could afford PhotoShop). When I originally pitched this to Cartoon Network, they were less than interested. I had pitched four other shows to them, and they needed the room back. I knew they weren’t going to buy, so I pitched something so awful that they would remember me. It worked, six months later they emailed me back to hear more pitches. I had nothing. I was so embarrassed that I didn’t even return the email. Life lesson learned. Later, I re-tooled one of the episode pitches into a video game, and eventually sold a new version of the pitch to GigaPix Studios.
