Jeeves' new clothes.

Here's a treatment on Ask.coms' brand character Jeeves I designed and supervised for Framestore. We designed Jeeves, produced web graphics for the Ask.com re-branding launch and produced 6 television commercials for our clients.

We did not have long to turn the job around, six weeks in total. I did not have the luxury of an extended period of drawings and concepts. I did a basic run which got us a client approval and we got modelling, texturing and look dev-ing as soon as we could.
