eBay is wild because sometimes it'll just be like "heyo, here's a model sheet or two from Hercules literally NOBODY has seen before"
anyhoo, never before seen Megara model sheet I stumbled across
its so surreal seeing concept art that's floated around done up with her finalized design ngl
Some additional sheets the seller had! The "My friends call me Meg" scene was the first finalized animation Ken Duncan did on Meg for the movie, as he stated on his Instagram some time ago; he said certain things like the hair was still being figured out here
there was also these alongside it! kinda cool seeing the rotation one in WAYYYY better quality
also interesting was these sheets! starting to wonder if this was one of (if not the) first shot done for the Muses (or at least Thalia and Clio) in production given the above

Last thing I'll say about current affairs is a lesson Chuggington learned that I very much hope the television side of Thomas learns is eventually it dropped the "trying to compete with Thomas/other shows" (after two botched rebrands and a sale), and rebooted by being itself
Both the original AND new team on Chuggington realized (after trying to age it up with more action stuff and then trying to babify it with cheaper toys and abridged episodes) that its appeal came being its own wild little thing and its been the most successful in YEARS
and its done this with less advertising than the BWBA launch had had! Some shorts that aired weekly for a couple of months, a commercial the week before it premiered, and some social media posts every now and gain, and it's now among the Top 15 in its category
