I apologize again for the huge gap in blog posts. Here are some newer Wally Wood & Dan DeCarlo studies.

More Wally Wood practice. This time I only achieved one presentable drawing.

I'd like to apologize for the lack of blog posts.. I havn't been making the best use of my time lately. Today was the first day I sat down to draw in like 2 weeks. Needless to say the majority of the drawings were majorly shitty. I was studying from "Cannon" by Wally Wood. Here are two of the least sucky drawings:

Gecko & Sticky Animatic

I thought it might be kind of cool to show you guys the animatic from Gecko & Sticky (because it is so radically different looking from the final animation). For those of you who don't know what an animatic is, it's the draft of a cartoon that consists mainly of key poses and timing (no animation). This animatic is what I pitched to Nickelodeon in order to see if they liked the idea or not. I actually thought they would reject most of it or want major changes. But, to my very pleasant surprise, they ended up really liking it!!! Here are links to both the animatic and the finished cartoon so that you can see the differences between the two:

Gecko & Sticky is 97% COMPLETE!!















Expect to see it REALLY SOON!!

Last night I got a SNEEK preview of the two episodes that David Gemmill is working on, and lemme tell you: they look freaking AMAZING!!!!! Talk about awesome & hilarious cartoon acting, David seems to be the king of it. It was also very apparent that he totaly busted his ass on the frame-by-frame animation. I lost count of the inbetweens when they hit 200 billion. DAVID YOU ASSHOLE!!!

Here's a concept drawing that I did for Bird Skipper back in 2003. It's for the mechanical bird wife scene.

Colored scene from Gecko & Sticky.

You can see the rough & cleaned up versions here.
