PAW news, rarities & pup art. Sometimes I animate.
Source of many scoops - credit me plz. Art thieves get blocked.
Non-retweeted art is mine or official. Fan.
Another of these high-effort posts~😌
This side-by-side is of Libs meeting Chase and giving him a pep talk while withholding crucial information.
I've retimed the storyboard to fit + added the script. Had to speed it up a lil for X
There was a lil Rocky scene I wish they'd kept!
Plucky Chicken - 3/10
Sad to start the update on a Chickaletta dream ep. Resolving it with tickling was weird too.
The update...ehhh I wanna like it but...
+Machines, humans and cats look great
+Moves well
-Often look blown out/like characters have silver hair
-Models a bit off
Spy Chase being a very handsome boy. Love the Roger Moore eyebrow! 🤨
You guys were skirting pretty close with that musical sting 🤣But parody is of course fair use~
I've noticed a lot of younger adult fans don't get to what extent Mission PAW was aiming for Bond parody
Okay, look ........... LOOK, I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry.
But if you didn't want me to make this.......
Ya shouldn't've made them fit together so perfectly, should ya?!
I want to post shots where the update looks good.
Other than Ryder, my problems come down to lighting, 99%.
You can instantly tell shots that're off because Skye's dark patches are dark brown and Marshall's spots are light grey.
When they get the lighting right, it works fine!
I didn't like that there was no pic with all the 8 pups featured in today's visual update pics ... so I made one.
To be clear these aren't exactly *leaks*. These were released to marketing companies today to make their commercial designs.
I'm just using those released images~
AHHHHHH
I thought they didn't exist but they do!!
High-quality renders of the Ruff-Ruff Pack, Gasket, Dwayne and the other one!
I made a very happy trade and got hold of these vectors~
I love them! Gaskeeeeettttttt
I loooove these fluffy official Skyes. She looks so cute and so fluffy! And the colors for her darker patches and ears are perfect. Do that in the show!
But the strange thing is that the mirrored versions are shaded different, with different line styles. I love them both! 🥰
News: I've been informed the next live show is going to be themed after the Mighty Movie!
I'll probably never get to see it, but I expect it to be a fun day out~
A pic from the art book I like a lot.
The flashback scene is a bit odd, mostly because Ryder deciding baby Chase was brave based on him running around panicking in traffic doesn't make much sense. I wonder if in some cut scene it was more clearly explained.

When I said Spin Master just stuff everything else they and the wider toy industry are doing into PAW Patrol, but they'd leave space so that Unicorn Academy wouldn't have internal competition ...
I meant that it wouldn't become a full subseries, okay?? 😅😅
Girl Power continues
Tiny news: a big ole DVD box set is coming out.
Not even Blu-Rays lol. By now this is retro, right? Who even gets DVDs any more? I guess older millennial parents and Gen Xers with several kids
Many thanks to
@SagedWebas
for showing me something new! 🥰
Comics artist W. Scott Forbes did some beautiful development work for PAW, including an early Rex with stone-age wheelchair (might see this idea in the movie!) and some different designs for the twins! Awesome! 😍😍
Aw, I never looked at the back of the All Paws set box. That's a pretty cute composite. Except Liberty being in a different style stands out like crazy.
Hope Rex can meet Tracker, Everest and Libs soon.
News!
I've just been sent NEW IMAGES of ✈️Air Rescue✈️ - the s11 subseries that with new pipeline renders~
It includes a beautiful background with Adventure Bay airport.
My composite prioritizes clearly seeing characters not overlap.
Yes, Marshall and Skye are gonna crash~
Definitely my favorite Rocky shot of the remake so far. Doesn't hurt that both the other boys look good too. No texture issues and their faces all look nice from this angle🥰🥰🥰
Super Cows-6.5/10. Mixed bag.
+Pups hanging out&Chase sniffing were great/felt like old-skool PAW
+Chase looked great in outdoor sequences
+Winnie's schtick still funny
-Some reeaally strained, bad dialog
-Disjointed
-Cows would die jumping from tractor
-Why squirrel? Use Apollo
Mountain Surfers-7/10
+Everest!
+Rare Zuma focus
+Lighting in snowy scenes looks great
+Jake so handsome😮
-Very contrived set-up
-Phony way to reuse kite-surfing for rescue. Just use the hovercraft!
-Near-fatal botched rescue
-Everest's eyelid fur looks so off, like Marshall's
W. Scott Forbes didn't just draw those lovely comic-style Mighty Pup pics - he also did some very nice evocative color key art for the early show. I like these, and particularly enjoy Zuma's unimpressed face.
Get Your Goat-6.5/10. V standard ep.
+Everest again!
+Snow scenes def have the best lighting. Even better with fire! Even Ryder looks great!
+Silly goat faces
-Turbot stupidity dialled up too high
-Too many dad joke puns
-Marshall keeps being called, doing fine, but being useless
Liked this one!
+Libs!
+Lots of cute lil animation
+Relatively interesting story
+Used race track
+No recycled clips
-Getting a little weirded out by Rocky playing alone with his mouth hanging open
-Skye's real reaction shoulda been "WHAT THE *** DID YOU DO TO MY CHOPPER"🤣
Let's have a beautiful DVD cover as a palate cleanser after that ugly one earlier.
Another beautiful one from - who else? - Mccown Design Agency. Love their work and this is IMO their cutest Marshall pic.🥰
Could maybe do without the vibrating seagull tho 🤣
Most of you probably already know that several episodes have leaked from season 11.
I don't have any links; please don't ask. I'm not the source of the leaks and I don't know where they came from.
It's also not that much fun to talk about episodes others haven't seen tbh!
Wow!!
Guru just updated their website with a whole load of unseen early development art, and our first really clear shot of the picture they used to first announce the new pipeline!!
Save Adventure Bay - 6.5/10
Honestly happy we got 10x26 first.
No proper introduction anyway and it was a better ep. New pups more likeable there too.
Roxi's kinda annoying...
Boomer and Frank are great tho. Loved their posters & artwork.
Physics exceptionally dumb this ep.
Just what is that silly pup doing at a time like this?
I found this box art for a game pretty fun, so removed a few things and redrew the stuff in the gaps~
Runaway Truck-9.5/10
LOVE. Getting comedian Joey Clift to write meant a HUGE writing quality jump.
+Boomer & Frank absolutely adorable
+Actually funny!! It's been a while.
-Main pups not seen much
Need strong emotion for 10/10 but this was great!
Hope we see more Boomer yet...
Lil ball of floof 🥰
I'm not sure the people saying they're looking like they've aged up and the update was clearly a timeskip have a great point
PS this has nothing to do with you Mr. 144684386.
News: the cover of Rescue Wings (the book) is here. It shows us absolutely nothing we haven't already seen, except the font in which "Rescue Wings" is written.
Which, y'know, could be just the name of the book. Or the book and the episode. Or the entire subseries in a rebrand!
Designed in 2016 but AFAIK never used, I really like most of these designs for the pups' names. I like the M in Marshall being a hydrant and hose in particular!
"One of those photos where everyone is meant to jump together but one person gets the timing wrong"
Edit by me. Edit rather than composite here because I made pretty major alterations to things like expressions~
Rocky's Garage 5 was my favorite so far!
Not looking great for Zuma's chances, tho😅
This Rocky has stunning insight into what Marshall wants, a remarkably positive attitude to getting wet, and an odd idea of what a long hose is.
Nice fluid sim, and adorable animation as always!
K, guess it's a series. Now I worry 28 eps are of various things, including Skye's Music Party, not just Rocky's garage.
Wasn't really feeling this one. Skye does some very odd moves. OG Pup Pup Boogie is vastly superior.
Chase being silly and hanging with the girls is cute tho
Liberty appears again on today's Rocky's Garage!
Good episode. Opening was SUPER cute, bulbs gag was fun (that troll Liberty must've seen the sensible-sized ones!!) and the tool use was sensible/educational.
My only complaint is that this model Liberty's mouth looks a bit freaky.
This is such an adorable official group shot! I've never seen it in the wild. Have you guys?
I've definitely seen the Marshall, Chase and Skye but I'm almost certain I've never seen the Zuma and Rocky used anywhere
Here's one I don't think has ever been seen publicly before~
Everest and Shade 2D version! 🥰
Not a Cat Back fan but this is undeniably cute.
The 3D render of this is not uncommon of course!
Thanks to all who sent it to me. Yup, inconveniently while I was asleep, we got some snippets of tomorrow's episode with the update.
Kind of as expected, it's a bit overhyped and it's just a small amount of added fur grooming and tiny model tweaks.
But still a good, small change.
The art book has one of these baby Chase pics really nicely colored. He looks like he stepped right out of a beautiful 2D animated movie... 😍
Oddly, the art book credits this to Alexandre Blain only, but it was clearly drawn by Jaewoo Kim. Presumably Blain colored it.
Many thanks to Lullabees on the PAW forums for getting me the utterly adorable baby Chase images from the DVD.
Look at this precious tiny boy!!
Let's look at all the other production images of teeny Chase we have from Mikros...
Art book page about updating the visuals for the movie. Might have been a bit premature to say it could "never" be achieved on the show - though the movie is still next-step quality ofc.
Art book text is by Paul Ruditis.
Aw, I love Rocky's Garage. This whole episode was just so cute. I just clipped the first half, so go watch it in full here:
The textures looked a lil off today, but it's still suuuper cute.🥰Not sure why they give these goofy alt titles on YouTube tho!🤔
I've posted movie concept art of baby Chase, but of course regular pup Chase has some too.
With this, I've posted concept sketches of all main pups.
Source is three separate images from Mikros that I've combined, editing things together to restore missing parts where possible.
