Happy Bear

Happy Bear & Friends
In the Enchanted Forest

The story so far
A group of characters who live near an enchanted forest in a magical world are cast for a new show.

The producers of this show are trying to cash in on the popularity and money making potential of a hit childrens show by creating and selling their show to the networks in our world.

Due to a low budget and bad casting, their attempts fail at best. The cast just isn't cut out for this kind of work.

Bill the Bear (Happy Bear):

Happy Bear will be the host of the show. He is not very happy;

”What do you mean I have to dance? Is that in my contract?“

Garry the Gopher (Happy Gopher):

Happy Gopher is his side kick. Forced to find some kind of work after being laidoff, he makes an effort but his heart isn't in it 100%. He would prefer to eat junk food and watch soaps;

”Mrs. Fairfield just told her daughter she was adopted and that her real father is the head of neurology at EF Hospital!“

Ethel the Magical Fairy:

She causes some worries for the enchanted forest producers who are concerned that her species may be found offensive in some way;

”But I am a completely nonsexual mythological creature you idiots! What's the problem?“

Larry the Liger:

Larry Liger is really the only member of the cast who appears to be totally invested in making the show work... his motivations are misleading as he is horribly addicted to caffiene and is on a constant caffiene buzz... until he crashes...usually during a song and dance for the kids;

"WOOHOO!! YeeHaa! Wipeee!! Zoooom! Zooom! Tra la la...."

He also has to pee at inopportune moments. (The comedy potential of this character is priceless. The real life aspects of ligers tigons ti-tigons tig-liger is funny just to read it... and it's all true.)

Here are some test renders I have been doing as I create and rig my characters. These are very fast tests mostly to get a handle on timing and technical aspects. These are not final.
