What a Schedule.

May 23rd, 2008

schedule.png

So here’s the schedule for the production of “What a Prikk”! (yes, I did create it 127 years ago) I’ve given myself a fairly good amount of time for each step of the production. I definitely believe I will finish many of the deadlines early, which will give me more time for the animation, which is planned to be 11 weeks. I’ll post about everything along the way, you can count on that! Sunday my friend Jeff is coming over to record for the voice of the BUMblebee! That will be the final of all the voices, and then I plan to cut the audio for the animatic. You might be wondering who has done the voices of the other characters…Well, not me BUT more on that soon!…I’m just all the background characters. ;)

More to come soon!

“GOOD F@*KING LUCK!”

May 20th, 2008

My good friend Chris Kennett told me he had an urge to draw Prikk, and decided to turn it into a good luck message! This has truly made my day week production! It’s hard to describe the feeling this drawing truly brings to me; that he spent his time drawing a character I created! And I didn’t even ask him to! lol. I’m very excited about this drawing, he even got ALL the details right! This is really going to help me keep going! Thanks a lot man!

I’ve gotten a great response from people about Prikk’s design, and am really glad! I think Prikk is one my most well designed character! Thanks again Chris!

Life Drawing (p1)

May 18th, 2008

Last Thursday I attended my first life drawing class! It was really great! All my worries with deadlines and work, school and family problems no longer existed. I was just focused on the drawings and really had a great time! I can’t wait for my next class! I’m going to post my progress as I go along! I can’t wait to see how I progress over the next months! I have a lot to learn and am very eager to do so! Below are the images, in order of creation!

Enjoy!

What A Prikk- Script!

May 10th, 2008

script.jpg

The What A Prikk boat has been sailing famously! I just finished the script, entitled “Jokes On You” and am very happy with it! The script came out to six and a half pages, for the 5-6 minute long episode. I’m sure I’ll think of more jokes along the way, and if I do I’ll just add them when I storyboard!

More to come soon

What A Prikk

What A Prikk Characters

“What A Prikk” is a go! I’ve gotten great feedback from the idea and have decided to finally make the animation, which will be about 5/6 minutes. I’m aiming for a 5 month production beginning in mid-May and will blog about each step as I go along. In fact, I’ve actually begun working on the script and am happy so far! I”ll be posting character turnarounds, audio clips, storyboards, animatic clips, animation, and so on and so forth.

“What A Prikk” is about three dysfunctional animals; Prikk, Jon and Martha, and their awful lives. This is a VERY raunchy and inappropriate cartoon and I hope no one thinks less of me because of it ;)

More to come soon!

Here’s a character drawing for an idea I have. I’ve been pitching it around, but still have not thought of any good names. Let’s keep it at Nerd/Jock Idea for now :) The Jock side looks a little too generic.. gotta work on that.
