Lightning Dogs: The Official Paw’dcast :: Episode 21 :: The Lightning Rig
Ride with The Lightning Dogs: canines from another world; stranded on a post-apocalyptic Earth. It’s a crazy idea fueled by our favorite 80s pop culture and we’ve been recording our development of it since the moment lightning struck. Join us on our quest to build this world and launch it as an animated series.
Having completed the principle design for our signature vehicle, The Lightning Rod, two of our heroes’ rides remained: the large battle tram the Brutus, and the light scout vehicle, the Rover. Doug, Tony, and Cap team up once again with concept artist Max Acree to pour over an incredible batch of extremely different designs and explore uncanny real world references. But it’s not only The Lightning Dogs that are getting garage time, we also break new ground on Halloween Jack’s souped-up hot rod that’s as twisted as he is and answer the all-important question: how many engines could you conceivably fit on a car?
