The Halloween Tree Development Artwork - ID: octhalloween19162

An original concept drawing from the Hanna Barbera animated film "The Halloween Tree" (1993). Featuring the boys flying through the history of Halloween by holding onto a pterodactyl hang glider in an attempt to rescue their friend, Pipkin. This image would be from early in development as it includes only four boys in search of Pipkin, but does not have a girl, as the actual film features. The original image was created by illustrator Floro Dery, who was the character designer for this film. The piece is created in a traditional comic style, with all of the color accomplished with marker on paper and the line work done on a Xerox cel overlay, and mounted to mat board with spray mount adhesive. The concept was likely used as a pitch piece when the studio was first developing the film. Measuring 22.25"x26.75" overall, with the image itself measuring 18.75"x23.75", the concept is in good condition with spray mount adhesive residue present on the back side of the paper.
