An original concept drawing from the Hanna Barbera animated adaptation of "The Halloween Tree" (1993). Featuring a fabulous image of the boys discovering Moundshroud in a tomb as they see the Egyptian history of Halloween. The image would be from early in development as it features only four boys in search of Pipkin, but does not have a girl, unlike the final film. The original image was created by illustrator Floro Dery, who was the character designer for this film. This piece is created in a traditional comic style with all of the color accomplished with marker on paper and the line work done on a Xerox cel overlay, and mounted to mat board with spray mount adhesive, and was likely used as a pitch piece when the studio was first developing the film. Measuring 26.75"x22.25" overall, with the image itself measuring 23.75"x18.75", the concept The piece is in good condition with wrinkles in the lower corners on the cel and spray mount adhesive on the backside of the paper layer which has created some rippling in the paper.
