I think this episode was the last we saw of the Luna-Taks. There was no sketches for Show #110. Show #111 will introduce the Return to Thundera story line, with lots of new characters and location. See you next time.

Thundercats Tuesday - Episodes #107 to #109.
This week's Thundercat Tuesday post features sketches for show #107 to #109. These show mark the beginning of more of the character design I've done. I've included the show title cards as well as screen shots. Enjoy.
Doji-Kage (the Mechanical war horse) was one of my favorite designs. Too bad it only lasted long enough in the show to be ripped apart by the Ma-Bat.
The PAC animation team really buffed up the Ma-Bat character. I was trying to keep it simple for ease of animation,but they greatly improved it.
Captain Bragg was fun character to design. He talked like W.C. Fields and CrowNan companion, talked like Groucho Marx.

Sunday Music Muse Day - Bob Sneider, Mike Melito and Danny Vitla & Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival
For this week's Sunday Music Muse Day, I'd like to thank Bob Sneider, Mike Melito and Danny Vitale for all the great music they performed as part of the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. I caught these talented musicians at a trio concert at the Rochester Central Library, and at two of the after hours jam sessions. Their stellar musicianship never ceases to amaze me. Take a another bow, guys, you deserve another well earned round of applause.
