As creator of Nickelodeon's brand-new animated series The Loud House, which debuts May 2, Savino concocted the story of a boy who has 10 sisters. The idea for the Nicktoon originated with a boy rabbit surrounded by 25 siblings, but after it was suggested that the characters be humans, the toonster drew on his own upbringing in a house full of kids. He erased the bunny ears and created 11-year-old Lincoln Loud, who has five older and five younger sisters. All the characters' names begin with L.
The result: a happy marriage of story inspiration and traditional style.
Savino used Harmony animation software to duplicate the line qualities of print cartoons. Floors, walls and other environments are a single hue, referencing the color scheme of classic comic strips. Each character's wardrobe also has a signature color.
"I wanted the episodes to give you the feeling you get sitting down with the Sunday funnies," Savino says.
Don't miss Nickelodeon's brand-new animated comedy series The Loud House, weekdays at 5pm/4c from Monday 2nd May 2016 and premiering internationally very soon, only Nick USA!
