１４話 「でんげきたいけつ！クチバジム」より
 Here is a closer look at my layout
sketches from Episode 14! These are original pencil drawings by the
artists, the true art used for the actual episode!
Each sequence came as a bundle, including mouth movements, hand
twitches, etc, andI have scanned the best artwork for you here. Enjoy,
and don't miss the animations!
Have you never seen this classic episode when Raichu first appears? You
can now, on Cartoon Network's site! PS: Don't miss my cels and their accompanying art!
Can you tell?
Raichu never
actually made the above face face in the anime - it got scrapped!
Too beady eyed perhaps? Well, seen
below is the face they really used in
the anime.
(You will notice a pattern of the various colored pages being the
"fixup" sketches for white pages.)
This
is another face Raichu ACTUALLY makes in the anime! Keep scrolling to
see the face they scrapped.
Here is the scrapped sketch in which
Raichu's face is completely different from
the actual anime.
...but SO cute! You can see Lt. Surge's head was changed too.
Animated!
I tried to use the unedited drawings which they did NOT use in the
anime, so you can see how it WOULD have looked!
Can
you tell which shot of Surge was actually used in the anime (green
paper or white paper version)?
So,
which of THOSE two Raichus did they actually use?
Animated!
The
bit of Raichu's mouth that is missing is stuck to the paint on the back
of this cel!
Also note as with the cel, Surge's head was drawn on a completely
different paper (so as to animate it moving).
Everything else in this gallery you can see it as it really is, but
this one I had to combine - Surge's bare head-stump is so disturbing!
Animated!
This is an extremely famous shot of
Raichu!
Look at how much was cut off! Wowza.
In the anime, during this "agility" run around moment, Raichu never
actually turns this far around. I wonder why they scrapped it?
Let's play again - figured out the
pattern by now? Which of THOSE two faces did they actually use?
Animated! There's seperate Pikachu
sketches on seperate pages used to make this work.
All three combined together!
Animated!
Raichu Animation "settei"
Character Reference/Layout
Sheets
ライチュウ アニメーションスタジオの設定稿・製作用資料
This
image is Raichu's animation
studio "settei", his concept art/character layout/design, the
drawings handed out to animators as a reference when a Pokemon is
making an appearance.
These can only be seen in the studio usually, so
I am very proud to have this in my collection as well! The three pages
are Raichu, Raichu shaded, and Raichu's paw detail.
(His back paws used to be just brown and orange without the
lighter underside, did you know? Thus a new paw reference was needed.)
Note it is not a pencil drawing - it's just one of the
photocopies the
animators get.
