Long ago, my dad brought home a shiny new Compaq 486 Multimedia PC. Our first computer with a CD-ROM drive. As a pack-in title there was an intriguing game with the Title "King's Quest". The cover had a beautiful, Disney-Style Illustration and it promised grand adventures in a land filled with fantasy and funny characters.
Little did we know, the infamous Boogeyman from Chapter 4 would haunt our dreams for the rest of our childhood. However, what the game DID do for me was make me want to be an animator. But not for Disney or Dreamworks, no. There was an exciting new Medium in CD-ROM's and it needed animation and, so i thought, it all would be traditionally hand-drawn. Well, only a couple of years later the multimedia craze was over and realtime 3D took over the gaming sphere. However, i never forgot King's Quest and my early dreams of being an animator for a company like Sierra. So finally i made the childhood dream come true and produced this little tribute.
With much love and appreciation to Roberta Williams, Lorelei Shannon and Marc Hudgins, whos character design sheets i copied rigulously as a 12 year old.
