Award Winning Plus Size Model & Performer Provides Reference Images for Floyd County Productions
ATLANTA, GA (May 6, 2016) — Kelly Shibari was a reference figure model for a sequence in last night’s episode of the popular animated series “Archer.” The show’s senior illustrator reached out to the award winning plus size performer and Penthouse model to help out in a pinch, for action poses related to the character of Pam Poovey, for the episode titled “Bel Panto: Part II,” where Poovey is disguised as an evil clown during a “Die Hard”-esque hostage situation, which naturally gets out of control.
“We received a note asking for a more dynamic pose for Pam in this particular scene,” says Floyd County Productions / Archer Senior Illustrator Stephen Slesinski. “The animators were working against a tight deadline so we needed to get them new assets quickly. Unfortunately, our regular Pam model had already gone home for the day. Because of the realistic style of the show, the illustration department needs to work from photo reference to keep proportions and action consistent. I reached out to Kelly to see if she was available to lend us a hand on short notice.”
“I’m so incredibly thrilled!” says Kelly. “Not only am I a huge fan of the show, I’m a fan specifically of Pam – she will always be ‘Shiro Kabocha’ to me! To have the show’s Senior Illustrator ask me to send him a photo sequence of poses, so he can create my favorite character in a fight sequence, is a dream come true. It definitely was a lot of fun to watch it on screen, and very difficult to keep this under wraps the past few months.”
“Archer” is an American animated comedy series for the FX network. The first four seasons are set at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) and surround suave master spy, Sterling Archer, as he deals with global espionage; a domineering, late middle-aged mother/boss, Malory Archer; his ex-girlfriend, Agent Lana Kane; ISIS accountant Cyril Figgis; and a less-than-masculine code name — “Duchess”. The current (seventh) season premiered on March 31, 2016, changing its setting to Los Angeles and following the main characters as they run the Figgis detective agency in Hollywood.
