Artist's Comments

Mikey is the star of the upcoming Nicktoon Kappa Mikey, scheduled to run on Nick on August 20th. The show had eight of the first episodes "tested" on the Nicktoons Network on February, and since then, I have gotten a job at teh studio with many other animators to improve those episodes and build on others for it. The stories will most likely be attractive to elementary and middle-schoolers who haven't yet understood the concept of "Saturday-morning morals". But the concept, designs and backgrounds are fresh, and the show is far from boring!

Here's Mikey in my own style. That's a sticker on his finger, for those who are wondering.

There is controversy about the show not being a true anime at all, yet MTV and many other ads call it one. I could go on and on about why it is not supposed to be anime, and about how EVERY employee in this studio knows it, but if you really want to discuss, then bring it up.

Anime? that? of course not. It's just like with Teen Titans in CN, they just poke at anime style humor. Also, I like that Mickey better .

Many of the first Kappa Mikey animations I was assigned on the job involved Guano, because he's the easiest to draw and to animate in the show. I wonder why we don't see any other "Guano-mon" in the show. :O

Teen Titans, like many other shows, adapt the style, but Kappa Mikey actually ADDRESSES it. It's part of the whole concept. Teen Titans cleary didn't need to be partially anime, but they did it anyway, because that is what's "in". Kappa Mikey attempts to make us wonder why.

As do I...maybe he's a near extinct species of...um....Guano?

He IS the easiest to draw. I did a few doodles of him while watching the show yesterday. I can see how easy he is to animate as well. I would think that the hardest part is just to work with his facial expressions...since he has so many.

On the official site, it says that NO one in the cast is sure if he is a purple creature or just a guy in a suit.

:iconsubway-sandwich:
Hm.

I'm gonna go for purple creature.


I don't think there's a man alive that's that small...

OH. And you got a link to the official site? I'd like to check it out.
