Finally! I've been sitting on these since last fall waiting for the show to premiere so's I could share some cool EL TIGRE stuff with you. I got to have the really fun job on the show-- doing juicy action poses. Man, this show rocks.
Did you know you can order official EL TIGRE t-shirts at the Nick.com on-line shop? There's 3 cool designs to choose from and they're available in both adult and kid sizes. Click on the pic and go git some ET gear!

wow these are sexy. Great line of action, great silhouettes. Tons of energy! You guys definitely did it right at the design stage. I've only seen what I can download but the show looks amazing!
Felicitations mon ami!
Nice Stuff, I have only caught one episode of the show but from what I have seen it looks good.
cool.
nice action shots!
just a quick note on sc. 131, pnl 1:
Can you possibly make the shadows 1% less opaque? (I mean, you doknow how to use your cintiq, right..?)
go go El Tigre! Great work chris. we miss you and were talking about you today here in Portland. Love your aliens too!
stop showing off your action packed poses chris!
Cool! ...and a crazy coincidence. I study animation and, earlier today, 2 guys from Boulder TV were talking to us about this programme. Such a seriously action-packed show. Probably loads of fun to work on.
Great work.
Great poses bro!! Man I gotta get my hands on one of those shirts!!!
Hey pal! I'm really digging these action shot's! You da man!
I'm planning on getting a shirt real soon so that I can wear around in Kreepsville it with pride.
KILLER poses Chris. Your childhood posts remind me of me own youthful sketches. Great stuff
Holy ass those are nice. I'm going to get everyone at my office to watch and love El Tigre, or die trying. Please keep posting this stuff!
Those are some kickin ass poses!! Nice work man!
these poses are geat man! i've only been able to see the show in spanish on you tube cause we're so behind here in canadia land.. i dunno what they're sayin but it sure looks sweet!
It's always more fun to see original production concept drawings!! THese ROCK!!
Awesome!!!
these are cool - are they posing for animators to follow? or model sheets? or storyboards?? I'm curious about ho w you work with flash doing this posing? Do you know my good pal Tod Polson?
Well, Chris, sometimes later, would you, and your ex-comrades at Cartoon Network like to revisit your Cartoon Network years by putting together a series of coffee table books combining text with all the artwork, illustrations, etc., etc., etc. from Dexter's Lab, The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab: Ego Trip, the Powerpuff Girls Movie, Samurai Jack and much, much more? Would it be called The Art of Cartoon Network? Would it also be a website?
I echo the question tomm asked:
They're great poses, are they just character concept pieces, the key layout drawing for each scene or are they the lineword used to build the Flash library?
Congrats on El Tigre, I've caught a couple of eps - wonderfully vibrant and crackly! :)
Glad everyone's digging the show! It's doing well in the ratings, so hopefully there'll be plenty more episodes to come! (Cross your fingers for toys possibly soon...)
Sean- El Tigre is bringing sexy back.
Kevin- Shouldn't you get busy building another level for some time-wasting flash game? SLACKER!!
Tony- We miss you guys, too! Your latest scultps are rad, & Stef's last Nucleus show pieces were awesome!
Tomm & Mebbo- They're called "specialty poses", and they're sort of a layout/model 'cause you can't make them from the standard model rigs. You can check out Gabe Swarr's explanation HERE. Tod's name sounds familiar Tomm; I think I'm better at faces, tho...
Timothy- Don't start up again. Cartoon Network owns the shows and the artwork, so only they can make such a book. I suggest sending all inquiries to them.
Wow! Great poses and attitudes. Battle-Force cannot be stopped!
those rock la casa!!!
thank you for your warm comment.

Timothy- I've been nice up to this point, but from here on out, I'm going to have to "filter" out your comments, much like I've had to filter e-mails from you. I can't have rambling, overly-long posts like the one above. (Your posts on other people's blogs have shown this to be a problem.) Sorry, man, but that's how it's gonna have to be.
Seems like such a fun show to work on! I think when you work on a show with a cool concept, with enthusiastic artists it definitely shows.
Man these are fantastic Chris! Great poses, super drawings... just down right amazing stuff man. You never cease to amaze!
Ha HAA, Those claws are so rad. So dynamic and funny.
sweet posing chris!
Hey Chris! congrats man! The show looks great! - I still am living in a few posts back... the Rick Hunter art..."sniff" - - - it'll take me awhile to get over him.
:)mm
Viva El Tigre, indeed. Nice character poses, Chris.
DUDE!

And, those t-shirts are pretty cool too... may have to get me one of those!
