shapes comic

a comic i made for the artichoke anthology my roommate, moses (mocherz), is putting together. i am in the process of turning it into a short animation but am still undecided on if i should use flash or animate it traditionally. i like the traditional look a lot more so i am trying to go that route but flash is just so fast. hmmmm...

pat the dog storyboard

storyboards from my "pat the dog" concept.... funny thing is pat the dog is not in any of these panels. toby the elephant and alex the weasel have just arrived in the deserted dessert city in the sky ruled by the evil baker queen. she has taken pat prisoner and the two friends are there to rescue him. meanwhile, back in little town, toby's grandfather has just discovered he has won the lottery.

dialog key:
"b" is for scrubby bear
"e" is for toby the elephant
"w" is for alex the weasel

red dots indicate scene cuts

no naked color test

i decided that the color style i was using before was too bold so i was playing around with some new ways to color the film and thought this style looked just about right. still unsure of how backgrounds will work in... if i even decide to work them in. the idea here with the color is that it is just a highlight to add a bit of dimension. and maybe a bit of fun, too. hurrr

polo puppy

might have had this one uploaded before as well... anyway, polo puppy wearing his preppy shirt. he might go golfing later. what a jerk. i love polo puppy!

really big bunny

i wanted to practice some painting in photoshop so i thought using this old character of mine would be a good subject for my beginner level talents here.
