storyboardin' critters

Well, for a bit now I've been working with a group of Redwall fans who want to try to make a fan-created, feature-length version of Mossflower, which is hands-down my favorite book in the entire series. I do have lurking doubts at our ability to pull out a finished product, but right now this is the best side-project ever for me.

And why is that, you ask?

The answer is STORYBOARDS! :D

The group setting provides excellent motivation to do regular boards, which is helping me practice not-sucking. I also get to teach a lot, since pretty much everyone is younger than me and hasn't really done this before. So even though it's me drawing the stuff I always like to draw, it's been good for me on tons of levels.

Here is a scene I recently finished - the first real scene in the film. As with all "finished" things, I have located a bajillion flaws already. Perhaps my buddies who read this blog can help locate a few more, haha!

I am so glad to see someone out there trying to help the younger people. Hooray for teaching!

>excellent motivation to do regular boards
I assume that also means sticking to deadlines. :)

Poor Ben! Poor Goody!
Mossflwer was always my favorite redwall book. I can hardly wait to see it brought to life!
Do you need any voice actors?

Haha, it's true! I have stories bouncing around in my head all the time, but somehow being obligated to others makes working on projects much easier! X)
