Evolution of a Shapeshifter

 

As I mentioned before this was the very first assignment for Gravity Falls. Even though Alex and I barely knew each other, he trusted me right away to mess with the show. His only direction was make sure the monster could still act out all the story points and make the scariest/creepiest thing I could imagine.

After my first pitch, I knew Alex was someone I could work easily with. His notes were a jam of a lot of my exploration. When I mentioned this idea that I always had for a monster that looked like vietnamese eggroll, Ian Worrel commented "ugh Gross" and we moved on to refining that idea.

I'm about as happy as I can be to the reaction from fans. I really wanted to honor the show and was so worried that I would fall short, but thanks to the talented crew and Alex's trust I think it all came together beautifully. It's rare in animation that something continuously improves in each pass, so I never take situations like this for granted.

but wait until you see the 2nd half of the season
