Skull Guys.

Thinking of things my friend Mel would draw, I came up with these skull headed guys.





I really enjoyed the orange colour on the bottom of the robes!

Oh man, more drawings.

Poor Lindley needed some more time, so that's what I did tonight. Watched an entire disc of the first season of Ben 10, and listened to Doctor Horrible. The welding goggles were what prompted that music choice though, not the other way around!

I think the drawing in the middle shows what sort of attitude I'm looking for with her. Kind of cocky. Perhaps it's through this cockiness that she isolates herself from the rest of the Dryad's in the forest?

Whoop, this one came out a little bit larger than I had intended... They just wouldn't fit on the other page. She's supposed to be doing a bit of a 'frankenstein' impression. Or Frankenstein's MONSTER, I should say. Must be correct about these things, mustn't we?

Doodles of Keb and Lindley interacting. I rather enjoy that she didn't paint him fishing at all, but rather waving. Isn't that what we're supposed to do with life drawing? Take something and then make a story out of it? (I might be exagerating, a little.)
Bottom one is more of a size relationship thing. I think Keb might be too small.

Various things they'd do together. Keb hanging christmas balls on Lindley's ears (don't they just ask for it?), Lindley examining a cookie that Keb's baked, she's not sure if she should trust it. He did say he was putting in bug guts when he was dumping in these brown bits... (They're chocolate chips.) Bottom left is Lindley getting her own back, scaring Keb with ghooo-oost storiesssss. And using those creepy eye covers to their full effect. Bottom right is digging for treasure!

I feel much better now. I enjoyed drawing her, and I really enjoyed doodling things that the two of them would do together. None of this'll end up in the finished film, of course, but you need to know the history of your characters and what happens after the story ends, right?

Some character sketches.

I'm trying to work out the designs for my two characters, Keb and Lindley. After compiling all of the images I drew this weekend, I realised I needed to focus much more on poor Lindley! Don't worry sweetheart, you'll get some attention too.

I liked her open mouth sighing face quite a bit, as well as the two faces on the bottom row. And her skipping for joy with the completely wrong body type, because it made me happy. :)


We watched so much Tail Spin over this weekend, so much. That's why, in the upper left, Keb's wearing a pilot jacket. The drawing on the bottom right is my favourite that I drew all weekend. I think it's the eyelids that I really like. How's that for being specific?

We also watched Destination Moon, a Tintin story, which explains the moon suit. I rather like how Keb looks in a moon suit, I wonder if I can work it in somehow? To what is pretty much a fantasy story with medieval level technology? No? He is also baking cookies, because baking cookies is incredibly cool. mmmmm.

His shrugging pose is perhaps the best body I've drawn in all of these pages, it looks like a little boys'. I think it's his belly.

How much does the professor want to get to the moon? A lot. I need to draw more interactions between the two characters, figure out how exactly they work together. Lindley is tall and thin like a tree, and Keb is shorter and stouter, since he's more associated with the earth.
