Double-Bounce Walk

Working through the 'Animator's Survival Kit' and thought I needed to do a double-bounce. Fun little jaunty walk.

Well, just got the word today

After almost one year of employment, The place I currently work put out notice that we are SOL at August end at the latest. We've had lots of departures in the last 8 months and no new hires. My current boss who I worked for left last week for a new assignment and kind of left the rest of us in the lurch. I anticipate they will start cutting us loose starting next month as most of the operation has been transferred to the east coast already. Kind of sad really after getting back to work only to get the shaft again. I've saved some money and I can keep afloat for awhile but I guess it's time to do something for myself now and move forward.

Roughs, Actual Size, Finish Pencils Tomorrow

 Just happened to get this wrecked truck on Tumblr the day I needed it for ref.

Those Russian Dash Cams really catch the mayhem.

 Made Notes on the rough. To make changes to sizes and poses.

Did them in photoshop to make sure they did improve the drawings.

What was the name of the Japanese Toy Armature that Ranjo owned?

Great idea. Ranjo had a very nice toy that was as pose-able as this thing. White and blue.

A new Tube

This is a drawing I did a while ago... a new tube!

Raymond and the Giant Robot Attack: Pages 1-16 of 64

Finally finished it.  Here's the first 25%.

Guess it's a little deceptive to call this a sixty-four page story when there are so few panels per page. 

 

Marty, I'm sorry but I decided not to hand-letter my word balloons.  I considered your suggestion very seriously, and tried an experiment or two. I love the word balloons in your comics.  They have such personality and are just right for the work you are doing, but in the end I couldn't tap into my own inner Artie Simek.  Maybe next time.

 

So "Raymond and the Giant Robot Attack" represents the most I could do in six months of spare time, mornings and weekends. The thing I'm happiest about is that I could follow through, finish the project, and have a good time doing it.  It's another step in the development of my own peculiar aesthetic.  Having fully accepted that I will never be Frazetta or Kirby frees me to do as I please.
