headcanon time: shen and wolf boss (i really need a name for him) were childhood friends, and would play hide and seek in the palace. sometimes as a challenge, little 8 year old wolf boss would try to play with just his nose (hence the blindfold), and since the palace already smells like shen, he would take a long time. this particular time, he was sniffing around for so long that shen fell asleep waiting, and eventually, this happens *u*

I recreated the logo from Kung Fu Panda 2 for my new video!

Well, the 2 from the logo. I've always thought it was such a cool design. The dragon on it is striking

Here's the design I traced from the 2 in case you want to use it:

Amazing work dude, love the logo and also the video

community help with finding a lost kfp2 app!

tldr; lost ipad app with behind the scenes content and excusive art from kung fu panda 2

greetings pandom! ever since 2019 i've been a MASSIVE fan of kung fu panda, practically becoming obsessed with the franchise and learning whatever i could about the movies themselves. one of my huge fascinations has always been with the concept art and visual development, which is why i practically lost my sanity upon first hearing about this

when kung fu panda 2 came out in may of 2011, an artbook was published by insight editions to go along with it much like its predecessor - providing a glimpse into the movie's production. however, with the physical artbook came a lesser known digital companion app meant for the ipad.

it had an even more in-depth look into the movie serving as supplementary material to the artbook itself. it included; galleries with characters, locations, storyboards and other miscellaneous information that was exclusive to the app, all curated by kfp2's production designer raymond zibach.

however the app is no longer available, removed at some point due to insight edition's contract expiring with dreamworks. much of the content is lost and scattered, however there are scarce remnants. the UX designer for the app worked closely with raymond zibach, assisting in the curation process by selecting video and artwork to bring the world of kung fu panda to life.

pictured below are some screenshots from within the app showing the layout and sections

the UX designer used a 3rd party application to make the app, but unfortunately does not have any of the actual files themselves, only the screenshots.

i know there are many out there who are just as passionate for all things kung fu panda whether it be related to the animation, characters, themes, unused concepts or the hard-work of artists and animators alike - especially kung fu panda 2! any assistance, help or leads in locating or recovering content from the app - screenshots or otherwise - would be greatly appreciated and a huge boon to fans!

OH to add on to this - in late 2011 there was a 15 part documentary focusing on lord shen's character, released on youtube by a KFP fan named leoandlamb. content from the app was featured in certain parts, such as this concept piece done by visual development artist jonathan klassen shown above. the text is a little hard to make out but

''A GLIMPSE OF SHEN: An early concept painting by Jonathan Klassen, this image depicts the moment in which Baby Po saw Shen, providing a key to understanding Po's flashbacks and a great example of the color themes used in the film.''

another screenshot of the app's layout, this time being the ''raymond's collection'' section. all of these were done by jason brubaker, another visual development artist for KFP2 who helped to design the shadow puppet prologue sequence.

''SHADOW PUPPET SEQUENCE, SOOTHSAYER PROPHECY: Jason Brubaker painted this image in which Ah Mah foretells the demise of Shen under the power of a presence that is essentially Yin-Yang, a balance of black and white.''

three years ago, the ''shadow puppet birth'' scene was released by jason brubaker to his artstation - one of the only published art pieces exclusively from the app.

another add-on to the post! recently a color key was discovered from a video compilation of random artwork from deviantart, also by jason brubaker and labeled ''rhino is killed''

a small snippet of the color key can be found in the physical art of kung fu panda 2 as shown above, however the full color key looks like this

[thegreatying-deactivated2024081]

false alarm, it is NOT from the app - or at least the source of it isn't. from jason brubaker's blog

A while ago I posted some Visual Development from Kung Fu Panda 2 that I did. Well, here is a little more. This was the first sequence that
