2D Dragon Hunters Pilot (2002)
Several short scenes exist from the Dragon Hunter 2D pilot that go for a total of 15 seconds and have some changes compared to the final TV series.
Discovery
In 2019 some scenes of the pilot were found on Pascal David's website, which he made available in a Show Reel on Vimeo. [1] and is viewable on his own website. [2] The 2D pilot looks better than the finished series in terms of presentation and quality. According to Pascal David's Linkedin, the information says that the pilot was completed from January 2002 to April 2002. [3]
Differences
The biggest difference between the pilot and the finished series is the quality, the different art style and animation itself, as well as that some characters like Gwizdo and The Zimbranelle Dwarves look completely different in design from the finished TV show.
Gwizdo, the main protagonist of the series, has a completely different look than in the finished TV show, which you can see in one of the scenes. Despite the very poor quality of the pilot, you can see that Gwizdo is wearing a different hat. A similar design of Gwizdo can be seen on Arthur Qwak's old inactive website [4], which indicates that the design of the 2D pilot and the one from the concept art are the same, except that his clothes in the pilot are grayish looking.
New discoveries
According to new information, Pascal David had a Myspace account that has the said pilot. The video, which is unfortunately no longer viewable, is 2:37 minutes long. It is unknown if it is the complete pilot or only a part of it. [5]
Background concept art
Patrice Suau, an illustrator, created the backgrounds for the 2D pilot. [6]
