We recently gave Mordecai's three piece suit design a brush up, with a sleeker look and more comprehensive breakdown. We were feeling like his initial suit design was looking a little too boxy, and animators were struggling a bit to keep him on model.Along with that, artist Tea Kankaanpää came up with a handy shoe guide for the animators. I thought some of you artists might appreciate that since shoes in perspective are such a pain.

💯 Humbly requesting a pawbs tutorial too 😩

Awesome. Interesting how plantigrade cat foot-paws fit into the shoes. I wonder if they have arches like humans?

Lady Blakeney

For something that looks so easy, shoes are *such* a pain! Love the perspectives and the sleeker look~! 😍

Where did his tuft go ? ;(

Man, if Mordecai’s look gets *any* sharper—then we’re all screwed. Love it though!

Hehehe his lil kitty feet! Adorable!

Title gives me flashbacks to a very specific YouTube song skit from the 2010s

Hot damn Mordecai! 🔥❤️‍🔥

This is super helpful actually. I've been struggling with drawing shoes for a while

Here he's got his hair slicked back, but anytime he's ruffled, he has the tufts.

Good! I love the ruffled tufts! I'm too used to it after like 15 years 😭 💜

title immediately reminded me of "Baby Shoes, Never Worn" and now I'm imagining each of the Legitimate Businessmen trying for an hour to explain why it has poignant implications while Mordecai just yells that reasonably someone must make baby shoes and reasonably they have to be sold before they're worn until Viktor just bellows BABY DEAD PAPA SELL SHOE while swinging them both into oncoming traffic

I love that we are getting glimpses of the behind the scenes stuff that goes unnoticed by most people. It's nice to get things we can share if/when anyone is willing to listen to the ADHD/autistic folks (like me) who really geek out on animation and the real art form that it is. Thank you! Related: Does Mordicai favor the rather pointy shoes for a "less gentlemanly" reason, or was it a popular fashion of the era? I'm merely curious on this one.

This is looking good! I can't wait to see what all your hard work looks like fully colored, animated and rendered! It's great to see that progress is coming along nicely!! Hope to see everything when it's finally ready!! ❤️

Tracy, I feel terrible for joining the Mordecai simp bandwagon. I don’t think I have a chance with him with so many fangirls and boys canoodling over him(no offense to them).😿😔

Doesn’t mean your not allowed to enjoy the character. That’s good enough right? Even if you couldn’t hypothetically. Then you can always be a good friend right? :)

Muddypaws

OK, here’s a question for you and the animators: in terms of inches, or feet, how tall is Mordecai? I know that their measurement system of a foot might be a little bit different than what it is in the real world.( considering the characters or cats) but I was just curious.

You really have references for basically everything... That's so cool, I must admit. (also yeah, I am not a simp but I know I'll be very good friends with him lol)
