Goliath is almost ready for animation! Here is a character line-up showing the alien villians (1st four characters on the left) and humans of Goliath’s world (alien/villian design and clean-up by Erik Knutson; human/cat design by Mike Gray with clean-up by Doug Gray). All main characters had to be done with a five point turnaround, as the full Roger model sheet example shows…
Goliath (Kevin Michael Richardson) recently came in to do Line Pick-ups, and again did a fantastic job! Voice Director Ginny McSwain was great to work with in the session (a huge help for me), and the cartoon will be all the better for it! I have not uploaded audio before so this may or may not work:
In cae is doesn’t, here are some new layouts and color BGs (in progress) to enjoy! (Layouts by Joseph Holt and Color by Tony Mora):
Goliath’s Kitchen
Goliath’s House (Interior Pan)

The Infinite Goliath demanded I type up a status report of his cartoon.
Mike trimmed some cartoon fat Friday while putting together the hi-larious animatic.
Now “The Infinite Goliath” has left his virtual confines of Frederator HQ in Burbank for the exotic locale of Glendale and Renegade Animation.
Background guru (and former “Silver Sala” golf champion) Brad Gake has been busy designing the grouchy goliath’s world. Both Mike and I have been blown away by the cool stuff Brad’s come up with.
Here’s a peek into Golaith’s domain before his cat, Mr. Bobo, gets a hold of it:
I’m quite partial to the space-themed etchings hanging on the walls.

The absolutely hilarious performances of Kevin Michael Richardson,
Scott Bullock, and Alana Ubach this past friday afternoon has left the Infinite Goliath in a rare jubilant mood! Because of their efforts, the Infinite Goliath has been inspired to spare the lives of both “Gray” and “Knutson!”…at least for another week.

I am hard at work trying to finish up the script & storyboard by January 24th trying to make sure it comes in at the dreaded 6 minutes 40 seconds (so we can record on the 27th and ship the board of to Renegade Studios to begin production!), and Erik is toiling away at some fantastic character turnarounds! Erik and I have chosen our cast, and are extremely happy with them!:
Kevin Michael Richardson as “The Infinite Goliath”
Scott Bullock as “Dr. Carnage & Mr. Jones”
Alana Ubach as “Roger Jones & Mrs. Jones”

Friday was voice audition day for “The Infinite Goliath.” Mike (on the phone from the Bay Area) and I (in studio) came away from the experience ecstatic.
Big thanks go to Meredith, our casting director, for making things run so smoothly. She translated our rambling driections into some inspired auditions from the actors. Mike and I came away with a dream cast for our lil’ cartoon show.
I can’t wait for the record!

The Infinite Goliath merchandising train officially left the station on Christmas. My mom surprised me with this Hondo (aka Hairy Guy) paperweight as the best gift this year. (That and a copy of “Jingle All the Way” ). Thanks, Mom.
And to kick off the new year here’s some more character sketches from the SoCal home of the Infinite Goliath. Bear witness to the Goliath’s arch-nemesis….Roger Jones! This precocious scamp is constantly terrorizing our super villian pal.
