Overview

Our role focused on high-impact visual contributions, ensuring that every frame met the rigorous standards of the Marvel brand. We acted as a specialized extension of the core team, providing the focused expertise necessary to handle complex sequences and character work.
The project involved contributing to the visual development and execution of the latest season of Hit-Monkey. Set against the backdrop of New York City, the series follows the world’s most dangerous macaque and his ghostly companion, Bryce, as they navigate a new urban jungle.

The Challenge

The primary challenge was "seamless integration." Entering an established production with a rigid style guide requires an artist to mirror existing brush strokes, line weights, and movement philosophies perfectly. There was no room for stylistic deviation; the work had to look like it came from the same hand that drew Season One.
Navigating the technical requirements of a massive, multi-studio pipeline required extreme precision. Our contribution had to be technically flawless to ensure that files passed through the global workflow—from storyboard to final composite—without a single hitch or compatibility issue.

The Solution

We dedicated a specialized lead artist to embed within the project’s creative flow. By focusing on a "deep-dive" mastery of the show’s internal bible, we were able to deliver assets that required minimal revisions and fit the dark, moody aesthetic of the New York City setting.

Efficiency was key. We utilized a streamlined feedback loop, treating our studio as a rapid-response unit for the main production. This allowed us to tackle specific, high-detail tasks that required a steady hand and a deep understanding of Toon Boom Harmony’s complex rigging.
