The "9 Old Men"

It was a really weird, roundabout trail that led me back to bowing to the greatness of Disney's big 9. I had just finished reading Blue Pills by Frederick Peeters (which is very excellent and highly recommended) and was researching European comics.
I was remembering the awesomeness of Vampire Loves (the English name), and thought the same artist from that book also worked on Aya (alas it was not true). A semi-related link in a Google search led to an amateur artist's website who mentioned the recent passing away of Ollie Johnston. And now here we are poring over samples of their work and remembering the many films they all had a hand in; ranging from Pinocchio to The Rescuers. IMHO, these guys are the definition of classic animation.

Been Busy

I've been pretty busy this past week, especially these last two days. I won't say with what so as not to bored you to death but it was pretty important.
Here's one of the finished images from the Apples story; it's actually a remake of the previous drawing shown in the previous post.

Whoa Snap

So 3 years later the 1st strip of the webcomic is done! Yay!There are a number of problems with the first comic, some very aptly pointed out by Phil. First, it's kinda tough to see what going on in the first 3 panel because scenes is just too far away. Second, Chris's head has a weird perspective coming out of the car. Thirdly you can't really tell Dom is shooting Phil in the leg, let alone has a gun in his hand. Fourthly what is that other thing in Dom's hand? Fifthly the sound effects are bad. Maybe I just criticize my own work too much, but I was in a rush drawing this late at night :(


Here's a preview panel of the Apples story for your enjoyment. I hate resizing images.

Coming attractions

EDIT: MORE CONTENT ADDED ALONG WITH SOME WORDAGE
Which one doesn't belong? Also, compare the rough sketch to the partly done/colored comic. Had some problems with the inking process, don't really wanna talk about it. But to put it out there, the first three panels shouldn't be so pixely and crappy looking.


-Really!

For tax reasons


Phil directed me to this little video called Im in Ur Manger Killing Ur Savior from fortaxreasons.com. Awesome site and awesome professional grade animations. They just have this classic feel that's almost similar to Venture Bros in a real weird way. I suggest you watch all the animations and support these guys. Seriously, why don't they have their own show or something?

-Blarghablugbruha!
