PORKY AND DAFFY MOVIE, extra layers, part 1

More images from my character design/special poses for THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP, including roughs, details and separated layers. My apologies, I was careful to number all the drawings for your convenience but now they’re all out of order. Still, they’re numbered! More images coming next week.

Funny, I tend to think I’m a better Disney artist than WB artist, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the reverence I have for WB, or maybe it’s the fact that there’s no ONE classic WB sty...

PORKY AND DAFFY MOVIE, part 1

Character design (special poses) for THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP! These are full layer images only, but you can find the layers broken down into details and roughs on the next tier! More to come next week.

All the colors.

Bill Wray is somewhere wincing right now.

Random thoughts.

This sort of thing rolls around my head all day.

Oy! Listen, if you sign up for my Webinar…?

Say look, if you sign up for my webinar and I hope you do, don’t do it on an iOS device. You’ll get charged a lot more than 10 bucks. So not cool. Go to a desktop, that should get you the more palatable price. I don’t like folks being overcharged because they wanna support me!

CONFESSIONS OF A LOUSY REN ARTIST, with Stephen deStefano

Join me, Stephen DeStefano, in my first online “Zoom-inar“ event, for ninety minutes of chatter about life at Spumco, Games Animation and the LA cartoon scene of the 1990s!

No lie, I never could draw Ren Hoek very well, but I knew lots of folks who could, and I will be talking about them and my early experiences in the cartoon “biz”.

Witness! Me drawing live on camera!

Hear...

Prelude to PRIMAL.

I believe PRIMAL had been percolating in Genndy Tartakovsky’s head for quite a while (although possibly not as long as UNICORN had been boiling up, which I believe goes back to at least 2010). I started working on Primal around 2015, but possibly earlier than that. Anyhow, this is some visual development I did for the show, based very much on Genndy’s sketches. You can see, the original intent for the look for the show was much more cartoon based. Enjoy!

Scenes from a new graphic novel

Posted above is a wee video trailer, expertly edited by Robbie Busch, for my graphic novel adaptation of Strindberg’s A DREAM PLAY, although note that for my purposes, I’m just titling it DREAM PLAY.

Yes, I am adapting August Strindberg’s 1901 A DREAM PLAY as a graphic novel.

Seriously.

In fact I have been adapting it for the last couple of years, and am nearly finished drawing it. I will begin rolling it out on Patreon very soon.

You may be asking yourself, why...

So look, kids….

I’m still building this here digital tin cup, so I may just as well get your help now before I finalize it and do something stupid. I’ve already gotten some help from dear friends with conflicting advice (all good and caring, of course), and I’ve done a bit of research here on P, trying to glean how other creators set their tiers and prices. So let’s get down to brass tacks and talk money. Let’s don’t beat around the shrubbery, yes?

Some creators are all like, “gimme a buc...
