TDDUBark Pitch Deck by Henry Davis-Jones

Till Death Do Us Bark is a pitch project I made centering around a not-so-ordinary man, Gerard, attending his best friend's outside wedding and trying not to turn into a werewolf and ruin the whole event. Everything from character designs to the storyboards were made by me across an 10 week timeframe! I hope you enjoy Gerard's journey with the bride and groom and a night full of hijinks!

9. Character Design Gerard Gerard is a suave wedding coordinator and best friend of the groom. He exudes a general air of confidence and is good at disarming situations… at least for as long as the sun is out. Gerard (Gerawrd) is everything the Big G man isn’t: a very stressed and anxious busybody obsessed with being perceived by as few people as possible. In desperate need of some TLC.
10. Character Design Thomas Thomas is the man of the hour and Gerard’s best friend. Stressed out on one of the most important days of his life, he’s just happy to have his bestie around to keep him grounded.
11. Character Design Nia Nia is the soon-to-be bride to the lovingly anxious Thomas. She suspects something is off with Gerard, but trusts in Thomas’s caution and empathy. Plus, she may have a secret herself… 🦇
