I worked on Badjelly as a BG Artist, designing and painting the backgrounds with the amazing and super talented team at Mukpuddy.
This was a dream project for me. Badjelly was my favourite book when I was a kid, so it was unreal to be able to be a small part of bringing it to a new generation.
These are just a few of the almost two hundred backgrounds I painted for the show.
Milligan's Bite
Rusty's Cave
The first of a few skeletons I drew!
Mudwiggles Wharf and the Sharkuzzi
Another skeleton in a slightly different style!
Fwomp Swamp
I mostly included this one because I got to draw this gross frog.
Speaking of frogs — this gorgeous background was done by Matt Haworth, the art director on Badjelly, but I drew this fun little mushroom fisherman and his toad-y mount.
Some fun detail shots from Badjelly's Castle
Loved filling this shelf with little doodads and references to other Mukpuddy shows — spot the original copy of Badjelly the Witch that she has on her shelf!
Various cliff-y shots
The Monster Gate!
BONUS PROP DESIGN!
I designed some boardgames for the Unfungi's games room in Episode 3.
One of the rules for the show was no text, so I had to get abstract with it!

Some other small props I designed for the show in between backgrounds.
