This was a personal project that I used for my final last semester. My grandfather always tell us grandchildren about the time he was chased up a tree by a bear while he was working in Idaho for the Bureau of Land Management. It's a great story, but I knew that as a cartoon it might be a little scary unless I embellished some bits (like the part at the end when the bear was shot or the fact that the bear was indeed trying to eat Grandpa). So I altered the story to be more little kid friendly and storyboarded it out. I really wanted to make this feel like the era that it took place in so I opted for a very retro 1950's style. These images are character shots of Grandpa and the Bear.

Hmmm this reminds me of that old disney cartoon with the forest ranger making the bears pick up the trash...kinda retro like that. I really like the bears pointy bum. made me laugh
Great characters. The shapes are really nice. If you pump up the value contrast a little they might be more clear. I really love their expressions.
