The Awesomes is an original animated show on Hulu. The show is produced by Seth Meyers, Mike Shoemaker, and Lorne Michaels. The show is animated by Bento Box (Bob’s Burgers, & Brickleberry). It is about the son of a famous hero trying to form a new squad of mostly B teamers in the wake of his father’s retirement. The show is hilarious and should be a must watch for fan’s of comics, animation, or any of the show’s amazingly funny voice talent. Here is a link to the show’s official page on Hulu.

The line was great fun and watching the show was some of the best homework you could ask for. It was in all honestly the biggest and most challenging commission I have taken thus far. I tried to blend the animated look of the show with a more realistic feel and somewhat blend the likeness of the voice actors were I could.


Prock (voiced by Seth Meyers)
Prock is the leader of the team and the “brains” of the group. He is slightly injury prone and longs to live up to his father’s legacy.

Teleportation Larry (voiced by Bobby Moynihan)
Teleportation Larry is added to the Awesomes roster after a member quits the team. On a personal note I found the idea of a drunk with the power of teleportation hilarious. The fact that he was being voiced by the same comic that does Drunk Uncle on SNL was icing on the cake. The figure also turned out to be my favorite and the one I hated to ship out.

Concierge is the teams secretary who helped Prock form the team. This reflects her newer more active outfit.
