This is an early pencil test for a new short cartoon I'm working on. There is a lot more that I have done with it and there is still quite a bit left to do, but the progress is good and the end results are shaping up to be much better than this (animation wise, in particular). More progress to come!
Once I finish some freelance work I'll be able to get to some serious work on a little short I've been putting together. It shouldn't be too much longer before I can post it in it's entirety.
I'm going to take a poll, so all of you blog readers, please cast a vote. I'm guessing that one vote will decide the winner. 1-0. SO, you know who you are, please vote.
These are storyboards done for a script by a really funny guy and friend of mine named Phil Johnston, called Jeremy Orm is a Pervert. There are a few little things I would've liked to do a bit differently, but as with most projects, there was a pretty tight schedule. I can't wait to see the movie. Watch for it in the next couple years, it's hilarious. The Jeremy in the title is not to be confused with the Jeremy who designed my website. He is not a pervert.
Some might find this a little bit gross, but I think it looks nice. It's the output of my sunflower seed habit while I scanned in the animation for a little short story I'm working on. The first one is from 6/11 and the second from 6/12. You could say the first one is Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty on a smaller, seedier scale.
Here's the final version of the Fish and Bird piece I've been working on. There is a bit of shadow all over the place because I took the picture in the sun, which felt fitting for the drawing. I cut out the images with a regular old scissor then glued them onto a separate sheet of paper that I painted light blue with acrylic paint. Then I got some bakery string and yarn and attached the whale to the balloon.
