These are frames for the TARZAN II storyboard. Some are based on the work-in-progress storyboards. I was working in London...The story guys were elsewhere...So my apologies to them: I never knew whose work I was messing with.
I did my work as best I could. I sent it down the wire to Character Builders and I suppose they did what they could.....I expect Disney expect a sequel to know its place and follow in line. Tarzan 1 was a roller coaster ride...I especially enjoyed the baboon attack on Emma Thompson - I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did - but as art direction, it's just a sticky mess. I suspect there were too many cooks. I haven't seen Tarzan II....It's been so long, so long, and I've other fish to fry.
Although Emma Thompson does indeed deserve an attack of the baboons, it's Minnie Driver voicing Jane in that movie. Thompson was the feline/alien Captain in TREASURE PLANET.
I remember your design theory on the TARZAN backgrounds that all the tropical plants & foliage they put in acted as 'mini star-shaped explosions' that distracted the eye too much. Made me wonder then how the heck do you paint a jungle? Once I saw your concept work all became clear. Another lesson learnt Mighty Limbolo.
ok, I stand corrected: Minnie got the monkeys. But the other stuff ? Shtars you shay? Musht be shome mishtake surely. Tarzan is certainly swarming with wriggly bits....Horrid.

A shame they didn´t use your style for the sequel. It would have been the first sequel I would have actually bought.
Beautiful artwork, really. Thanks for posting it.
