In the last of the three Auxilium spots that 2A created, the client wanted to go with a surfing theme, and wanted a second villain. I was excited to hear this, as it meant I could take this fun style and create a new nasty bad guy for it. Can't you just see me snickering as I twist my evil mustache?
Since both the original villain and the Auxilium hero were starring in this spot as well, I wanted to use a different body type for the new baddie. I went with a very round and robust form, with a bushy mustache and an awkward wisp of hair that looks suspiciously like a toupee. Add a gaudy striped swimsuit and voila! A new villain is ready to thwart a do-gooder.
I was really pleased with how this fellow turned out, as I feel he has that classic "old-timey" feel to him. Thankfully he looks way more dangerous than he really is, and his surfing leaves a lot to be desired! Copyright © Auxilium
Last week we took at look at the two main characters from the Auxilium animated spots that 2A! worked on. This week we’ll take a look at some of the original characters we created for those spots.
The second animation needed a crowd to cheer the winning baseball team on, and we were excited to design them. Overall, the look of the characters is based on those fun UPA cartoons from the 1950's, so we did lots of research to make sure we captured that fun retro feel. The finals came out great I think! They feel fresh, yet classic and familiar. Get ready to “root, root, root!” for the Auxilium team!

When 2A! worked on the Auxilium animated spots, the client asked us to match a specific style and provided sketches for the two main characters. This meant we had to build the characters in Flash, closely matching the provided sketches, and mimic the look for additional characters and clothing designs! This week I thought we’d take a look at the Flash artwork and clothing designs of the two main characters.
The first short had our hero and villain face off in their normal spy outfits, while the second and third shorts required us to create new costumes. We wanted the look of old-fashioned swimsuits and baseball uniforms to match the classic cartoon design, and it was super fun to research and design a look for each. I especially love the baseball uniforms, as they're iconic and old-fashioned.
Check in next week to see some of our original character designs for these fun animated shorts! Copyright © Auxilium
