Hello! Can you tell us about the characters of the guys from Zib's band?
Well, aside from Rocky, Mitzi, and Zib, there's:
Sy, the trumpet player in green, is a quick wit with a hot temper from New Jersey. Originally, he was a big advocate for the band joining up with Lackadaisy...now he's rather vociferously on edge about it.
J.J. (with the bowler hat) was the trombone player - a lighthearted prankster. He and Sy were pretty tight when J.J. was still with the band. Rocky came along and accidentally inherited J.J.'s spot despite playing an entirely different type of instrument.
Mozzie, the pianist, was regarded as something of a music prodigy in his youth with classical training before ragtime and then jazz took over. Regardless, he's a shy guy, self-conscious about being so tall.
Ben, dressed in gold, is the most original member of the band, having been there before even Zib came along. He's too old for all of this nonsense...but he's stuck around anyway, as even-tempered and steady as the beat of his double bass. -------------------- Here are some sketches and concepts of them, moving from comic to Pilot to where we landed for their designs for Season 1.
