While I prep my next artwork, here's some old artwork I did at various times of Mrs. Brisby from "The Secret of NIMH". (And if you've read my bio, you know is my favorite film of all time! ^_^)
The one on the left is actually the oldest (and I think is the most on-model). It's not shaded, but the paper it was drawn on had turned brown over the years and has suffered a bit of water damage from being kept under an open window.
The others are slightly newer and included them since I thought they were cute. The newer ones are shaded, though the scanner I used picked up a lot of noise in the images.
Yes, I'm so picky I actually do put the time I finish the drawing in my sketches. ^_^
Medium: White paper and pencil

You can't really beat anything full of Brisbys :p Nice work, bud! It's rather interesting with the dates attached, seeing as how I wasn't even in kindergarten when these were made :p Even then I never become knowledgeable of sites like FA until about a decade after that even ^^
Still, glad to see some people keep there vintage art collection :p

I even have the local TV guide saved in my old artwork folder from the week it aired. (Yeah, I really do save too much stuff. ^_^) Though I usually toss out TV guides I saved this one since Banjo seemed like something special, even though I was just a kid at the time.
Didn't expect my favorite movie to be released just a few months later from the same group of people! :)

Yeah, I remember when I first heard of it and checked to see if/when it aired. Apparently I missed it on the last day it aired cuz I was two hours behind the actual show time. The thing that had always confused me was that it aired on the Disney channel. I thought the Banjo project was something John Pomeroy, Gary Goldman, and Don Bluth did on their own out of their own garage according to what I read in the Art of Animation book Don had recently released. Wouldn't that make Banjo a non-disney flick? There must have been some agreements between them now that I think about it. I mean yeah, how would they have aired it otherwise if not for a huge well known name like Disney backing them up? Anywho, I've typed too much...hahahahahhahaahhaaa....
The original air date was May 1, 1982 on the ABC network in the US. Banjo was very much after Bluth & co left Disney, and they did this on their own.
However by the time The Disney Channel came around Eisner & co had taken over Disney so the bad blood between the two groups had gone, thus Disney picked it up (as it was showing all sorts of animation in the channel's early days) from everywhere.
Bluth & co did do "Small One" while at Disney and for Disney, tho. (Which predates "Banjo".)

Hey there! I see that you have a love for The Secret of NIMH too. I had first come into contact with it when I was looking up animation styles to use in a future animation for a future Redwall film, and when I saw an animation of Mr. Ages being shaken by Mrs. Brisby, I looked at it and thought it was just perfect. Later, when I saw the full movie later, I was amazed to see what it was like, and the story was most intriguing. I hope to become a future filmmaker someday and bring back the world of hand-drawn animation to the big screen.
