CATS! BEARS! AND RABBITS! OH MY!

MY FAVORITE TV SHOW is chowder because its awesome and super cool. The main character is a boy named Chowder an apprentice to a chef Mung Daal, who owns a catering company serving the in Marzipan City. Chowder himself was developed with no specific species in mind, but on the show everyone calls him a cat bear rabbit thing. One of the cool design features of the show is the patterns used on the characters' clothing or skin. These patterns are developed as a full screen image and then there sent to a production house where the characters are modified to fill the patterns in over the character clothing. Using this technique, when a character moves and their patterns do not follow, is a "static" background. Chowder is set in Marzipan City , the architectural style of the city look like examples from Moroccan and Indian architectures.
