Arn0 was given the dreamy brief of creating the above 3 beautiful, and of course sexy, animals in his inimitable digital airbrush style, with each hair lovingly, and painstakingly, "painted" digitally. All 3 images will be appearing in opticians and Ted Baker stores over the coming months.

Colman’s Gravy “Moo”

Fred Gambino recently worked with  Aardman Animations to develop the dancing bull character for the Colman's Instant Beef Gravy TV commercial.

It was quite a challenging brief to give the character the personality of a hot, steamy, hunky, male Latin-American dancer stuck inside the body of a real bull! Fred had to create the bull in several poses including Moon-walking and the Running Man. He rendered each pose using 3D software, Aardman then added texture and lighting to the digital model and returned it to Fred to add the special 'gravy' render.
