So I decided it'd be fun to draw Lackadaisy characters in John Held Jr.'s style, since he was popular during the '20s and that's when the comic takes place.
Not a perfect representation, but fun to draw nonetheless.
This has been a full week, so Wednesday night I finally made time to play in Photoshop.
This dude is a forest shaman. He knows all kinds of um... arboreal secrets. And he can probably sic trees on you too, so I'd watch my step. Unless you have some of those baby carrots on hand - then he'd probably love you forever.
I don't even know what to call this thing. But he sure likes to kick that ball around.
Just click on the .swf file when it loads, and use the arrow keys to navigate. It really inspires me to try something like that... in a cool, McCloudian kinda way. (there are some swears)
It also has a FOLLOWUP ... which gets bonus points for making fun of Twilight.
I went for cute because the trunk monkey concept seems to invite slapstick humor... wanted to try a different angle. But now I feel like I have to redeem myself with something hardcore. Good thing the Batman storyboard assignment is next.
This was done a while ago. I don't think I'd ever watch cage matches or mixed martial arts fights on my own, but they do provide a good opportunity to do 1) gestures, and 2) muscles, both of which I'm always open to.
I'm a senior (?!) in the animation program at BYU. I'm a huge fan of traditional animation and storyboarding, though I hope to more effectively bend computers to my will by the time I graduate.
