Cats, Cousins, and Cops

It's been a good while since I've posted anything. I should probably stop writing this because I seriously think that I put it on every entry that I write... Anyways, here is just a couple of character colour concepts for our group project about a Cat that gets tied up in a scheme with undercover cops and the mafia. far fetched? yeah, kinda, but it's a cartoon - loooong way from being done, but I am eager to post it at the very end of the year when (hopefully) we are finished. Oh - I just finished my first comission for Up Front - a free indie news magazine - it comes out this friday, and if you're too lazy to hitchhike to ottawa to pick it up, I'll be posting it up here once it's released.

Look it's a Pirate! AAAAAAH

.... couldn't resist one more... it had to be done or else I wouldn't have met my goal for the night...

Private Pirates, at your service!

a couple more sketches I tossed out tonight. it's 4am and I still can't stop drawing these characters. man animating this is going to be wicked. too bad I haven't finalized the main character to a polish that I love so much yet. It would make it a lot more bearable to animate.

Pirates - Detective Style

Alright -so I decided that these characters would be acting in a really cheesy Film Noir Detective romance kind of way - kinda like Casablanca, or the two recent classics that I have watched and absolutely fell in love with: Double Indemnity, and The Big Sleep. Oh man I need to feed this craving some more - good film noirs seem few and far between, but these were great - especially double indemnity. Anyways here are the designs.

oh and just something to note. I drew these yesterday, and I lost them because I am a fool. So I then spent 2 hours looking for them before redrawing them. I'm still not 100% convinced that these were quite as good as the others - but it's at least as close as I will be able to redraw anyways.

Workbook Sketches

I can't wait to colour these, and add in the characters because they look like they are pointing to nothing which is extremely displeasing to the eye. However this is necessary I guess to figure out exactly what the layout is going to look like. hm. I dunno. Anyways - life drawings and charicatures are coming as soon as I unlazy myself enough to take pictures and post them.

Editing with a cutlass 101

Hey guys

I first off want to apologize. I posted concept art that I did for somebody else during the summer, and I took it off because since I don't own the copyright, it's not mine to post. Second of all, I wanted to post some quick colours and layouts that I have been working on for the group project. cheers folks.

Posting ... all... the... time?...

Alright- sooo I haven't been posting. shame on me. Regardless, here is some workbook panels that I made for Mark Komza's layout class. Hope this is what we need...
