Although, it wasn't a landmark film, "Nails" the spider from the film "Cool World" is definitely one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time. Recently, I watched the film "Christmas in Tattertown" (another Bakshi production) and there is a character in it whom I am sure was the precursor to Nails. This page was drawn under that influence.

Character Development

There is a certain kind of energy that arises when you search for what you want to say on paper. I challenge myself to draw as much as I can on a single page to maintain that energy and improve my previous design.
