'''Dean Dodrill''' (also known as '''Noogy''') is a professional animation [[artist]]. He lives in [[wikipedia:Colorado|Colorado]], and is married to [[Elizabeth Dodrill|Elizabeth]], since early-September 2000.<br />
<br />
Dean's dream of becoming an animator all started back during his time of junior-high/high school, when he was much inspired by the [[Foxglove]] [[bat]]-[[character]], from one episode of [[wikipedia:Walt_Disney_Television_Animation|Disney's]] ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' TV animation series. <br />
<br />
He not only began drawing up fan art of Foxglove, but then he slowly began to create his own characters, such as [[Leddinger]], a [[flying squirrel]] dude, and his much beloved pride-and-joy [[Bonnie]], an attractive [[mouse]]-girl, who's created after his own blood-heritage as half-[[wikipedia:Korea|Korean]]. <br />
<br />
Together, these characters were developed in various film-shorts, such as ''[[Living On A Prayer]]''. The characters were initially created as short-bodied [[rodent]]s. Since then, Dean has very much evolved his characters to have larger, more [[human]]-like [[anatomy]]. <br />
<br />
==The Jazz Jackrabbit games==<br />
<br />
During this time he landed a short-lived job at [[Jagged Edge Studios]](Actually he and his brother created/owned the company Jagged Edge Studios) in conjunction with [[Wikipedia:EpicMegaGames|EpicMegaGames]], where he did animation for the [[Jazz Jackrabbit]] video games. Then when it came to doing ''[[Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files]]'', he created [[Lori Jackrabbit]], a yellow athletic femme-[[rabbit|jackrabbit]], being Jazz and [[Spaz Jackrabbit|Spaz]]'s sister. Though those characters live on through fans, Epic ended up failing to balance their books and were forced to lay off Dean.<br />
<br />
A third installment of the game, [[Jazz Jackrabbit 3]] (also known as '''Jazz Jackrabbit 3D''' and '''Jazz3D''',) in which Dean worked on the game's artwork and level design, never came to be due to Epic's failure to funding for the project. It would have been developed using the [[wikipedia:Unreal_Engine|Unreal engine]] technology.<br />
<br />
==Elysian Tail==<br />

Shortly afterward, Dean got his well-deserved break at slowly starting to animate his dream-film, ''[[Elysian Tail]]'' (originally titled ''Elysium Tail''), with Elizabeth and himself producing, directing, animating, and voicing the featured characters Bonnie, Leddinger, and [[Tika]]. Many of their fans/friends are impressed by the entire concept of animating this film, not to mention how heroic the characters ought to be.<br />
<br />
As Dean continues to tackle ''Elysian Tail'', he has withdrawn from online activities. He plans an online comeback once his current projects are completed.<br />
<br />
As of 2009, Dean appears to be working on a video game entitled ''Elysian Tail: Dust'' written in [[Wikipedia:Microsoft XNA|XNA]].<br />
