HAS: SKRULL-HULK

Marvel Animation Character Design, HULK AND THE AGENTS OF S.M.A.S.H., Skrull-Hulk.

In the second season episode entitled, "Guardians of the Galaxy," it's quite obvious who the special guest stars turn out to be. One of my tasks was to design the gargantuan Skrull/Hulk hybrids, referred to as "Skrulks." This illustration, called an "expression," or "gesture," is a step beyond the standard character design "turn." The intent is to depict the character in an action pose that is distinctive, visually interesting, and indicative of the dramatic mood and behavior as this relates to the story, thus providing a greater reference for the animators. In this image, I hoped to convey the scale of the creature (The ghosted Hulk model is included as a guide for this purpose, and was created by artist Gerry Galang.), along with its fierce attitude as it emerges from a pool of gamma-irradiated solution.
