Raz Layouts 22-24

Here's the last batch of them, I really didn't think I'd actually be able to do this, so I'm pretty proud of myself. I have that wrist ache from drawing so much, which is a good hurt to have.

layouts 19 thru 21

I am mercilessly cutting a bloody swath through these layouts today. If I went at this rate before, I'd be coloring these by now.

laid out for 16-18

More layouts. Hopefully I can get the rest of these done today, but I've got some complicated ones to do directly after this one.

Next set

These pages are a little more ambitious than the other pages I've done so far. I'm pretty happy with the way page 13 turned out especially.

RAZZLE DAZZLE layouts

OH NO, MY HAT'S BAILING ON ME.
I bought Toon Boom Animate and have been ATTEMPTING to build a puppet within that program. It MOSTLY worked. I'm on the right track, and that's what's important.

Raz Layouts 7-9

So I accidentally misnumbered my rough draft, which ended out being a HUGE problem, because there are a couple sections where things need consecutive pages. So I had to cut the page where she's watching TIME COIN into another page. I probably could have cut it altogether, but I like the idea of TIME COIN a lot for some ungodly reason. More text in this one than usual, meaning more people shouting than usual!

Pages 4-6 layouts

any suggestions would be appreciated

Corporate Transparency and Raspberry Beret Layouts

I'm a big believer in the idea of corporate transparency just because if you're going to do something, you should believe that your version of it will be the best. People will steal from you no matter what - just look at the Wii Remote suddenly appearing on every console in some fashion. There's COUNTLESS other examples but that's the most recent of which that pops into my mind. Even if your idea isn't THAT GOOD (like the Wii Remote) it'll STILL show up in other's hands if it's remotely successful.

That being said I'm not a corporation, but I DID decide to make a comic, so that's LIKE a corporation (right? RIGHT?) so I decided to post the layouts to my comic as I finished them. I grew up on Calvin and Hobbes more than I did Batman and Superman, so I'm not particularly a huge fan of word bubbles or frames, as can be seen in this. Any suggestions are welcome!

Not your WIP-ing Boy

This is the cover to the comic book that I'm ATTEMPTING to make, but all my pens and markers seem to have NO INK at this point, so I might be doing it on animation paper in pencil.
This took about 9 hours of work, hopefully the other pages go faster.

Test Cover

OK, so I've written my script, I'm laying it out, and I decided to do a test to see if the paper I had to use was any good. AND THEN all my pens started running out of ink, so I had to use one of my writing pens to ink. AND the size of these pages REQUIRE scanning each page in 4 times. Which leads to some discrepancies. I'm not going to say that every mistake in this is due to the fact that I had to piece it together in photoshop, but there are a couple. The idea of doing this 24 times is not a thrilling prospect. ALSO I was (am) up until 3 AM trying to finish this.

Raspberry Beret Concept 2

Here's a little concept work of a comic I'm working on right now. It's inspired by my ANIMATION DUEL with my special lady, but she's still working on hers (I WON!) so I've been developing this character. Kind of.

I thought this was important

"Out of the nonsense Walt would select the stuff that could be made into a film: comedy bits, funny lines, gags. The cartoons of that period were still being concocted and assembled in much the same way Mack Sennett had made live-action comedies: “Charlie, there’s some kid auto races going on down in Venice—grab a cameraman, go down there and see if you can come up with something funny.” Or, “Hey! They just drained Echo Park Lake, it’s all mud, that oughta be funny as hell!” That’s what we did. We took a locale, an occupation, a situation, or the basic premise of a popular feature and did a lot of gags, strung them together, built in a chase, and got out in under seven minutes."

The kind you find at a second hand ass whipping!

This is a little something I whipped up since Monday at 10pm. There's definitely some problems with it, but there are some things that I really like about it.
