Dinosaur Piggy Bank was an idea we in the Scrubbadubs call had been kicking around for a long time. It was as slice-of-life show based around Will's terrible experiences at radio station he works at. Based on some bizarre in-joke he came to have a possessed, vaguelly chaotic evil piggy bank named "Dinosaur Piggy Bank" that followed him around. No one in-universe thought this was weird and most of them refer to DPB as a "dog." It's easier to just show you than to explain.

I produced this animatic for my Fall Semester senior year at UIUC. A hypothetical finished short would be around 7 minutes in length.

The fully-colored animatic of just the 1st minute can be seen above.

The black and white animatic of the whole cartoon can be seen here .

I'd love to revisit this show one day as an audio-only production.

I've also attatched several pieces of concept art and finished background paintings I did for the series, as well as a fake commercial Will made for "CSI Deluth" and the demo track pLaster composed for the DPB theme song. 

LYRICS:

When I'm sitting on my shelf I'm happy as can be!
I've got my flesh and cereal, yup, no complains from me!
Even if you're girlfriend free and burp and awful lot
You can always count on me to give a penny for your thoughts!

Dinosaur Piggy Bank Colored Animatic

A work in progress. The first two minutes of an animatic/storyboard for an ongoing animation project about a beleaguered radio station worker and the sentient evil piggy bank he cares for. I don't know either.

Us too! Will showed us his over a skype call and pLaster and I were shopping for Christmas presents at Target one year and bought our own as an act of solidarity.
