Who Draws Chowder?

Chowder mania has yet to hit my podunk country of Malaysia, but already has won hearts back in the US of A, with it's unique food-themed universe, and it's deceptively childlike atmosphere, but more importantly, it's characters, lead by the adorable Chowder himself.

But as you are in Chowder's grip (or tummy, depends), have you ever wondered, Who Draws Chowder?

Well, if you say CH Greenblatt, you're almost right, but a quick look at the credits, courtesy of the IMDb, has found two character designers:
Serapio Calm
Phil Rynda

Serapio has his own websites worth checking out:
Blogspot
Children's Illustrator

Phil Rynda has his own blog as well.

Have a look, and oh, Gong Xi Fa Cai from Malaysia!

The Act from Cecropia.

Two things strike me about these images:
1) They're from an interactive "filmgame" called The Act from the company Cecropia.

2) The nurse is quite cute.

After further Google Searches, I came across these names on CGSociety:
Anthony Michaels
Rusty Stoll
Barry Temple

They were former Disney animators, refugees from when Disney closed the Orlando animation division in 2003. So far, only Anthony Michaels' homepage came up after a few a Googles. Here it is:
Anthony Michaels Animation
PS: He's the breakdown artist behind Belle from Beauty And The Beast, which explains the nurse, Sylvia.

Further deeper into The Act's Homepage, and you'll find the credits of the development team. There's a lot of animators out there on The Act, and I might googled them more, if I have time.

Meanwhile, check out The Act.

Cupid's Chokehold single cover art. [UPDATE!]

So who drew the cover art to the Gym Class Heroes' single Cupid's Chokehold?


It was Dave Crosland. Not only he did the cover above, he also did Scarface: Scarred For Life. He's now doing EVERYBODY'S DEAD to be published through IDW Publishing.

Special Thanks to Bradalicious. And to JRut0711, sorry no prize, but hopefully you guys will be immortalised, someday.

The Creed PC game art cover (Nothing to do with Scott Stapp or Jade Raymond ;D )

Found this pic on eBay.

Actually, I saw this cover a long time ago somewhere around 1999 til 2001 when I was in college. The Top Cow art style is what catches my eye. Or maybe it's her cleavage (:D Anyway, the game itself is published by the now defunct Insomnia Entertainment (nothing to do with the creators of Ratchet & Clank, Insomniac Games) What happened to them, I'm not quite sure.

In the meantime, who drew this cover art?

Who Designed Tiana, Princess and The Frog?

These are the official images of Tiana (originally, named Maddy) from the new Disney animated feature, The Princess And The Frog.

Hype aside, a bigger question needs to be asked, who designed Tiana? And who will animate her?
