The Dissipating Milk Trick
With apologies to Xavier Robel
The screening at Nickelodeon went pretty well. Thanks to all the crew who attended. That was the first time I had watched the cartoon with a sizable audience and it brought to light a major miscalculation on my part. See, I thought that Sam was a funny character. That’s what I hoped, at least. But it turns out his humor is overruled by his adorableness. Expected laughs were supplanted by awwws. Which is not a complaint, but it really did take me aback.
Also, for good measure, here are some color progressions for a few of the characters. My coloring book versions are on the left. The intermediary and final versions were done by Saelee. Perhaps you will find the differences illuminating. Perhaps not.

Good stuff! The animation came out beautifully! The designs are great as well! Terrific job!

Really cool! The animation’s really nice. Although I’m a little surprised by the choice of voice. It fits with the character, but its not what I thought of when I first saw him. I will say that the voice makes up a large part of the character’s adorableness.

I think you’re right about that. Max Burkholder’s middle name is Adorable … actually, it’s Wolf. Which is a thousand times cooler.

You’ll be happy to know that those drawings have retained 100% of their original value. Squat.
