My Cartoon Series: Xylus & Dexter in Space! Ep3 - Castle Clause

Image
Overview Episode 3 of the internet cartoon series I started at the end of 2003 Called Xylus and Dexter in Space! It starred my kids Xylus and Dexter. Cartoon Concept In this Episode: The boys are still stranded on Mars. When they make an interesting discovery. Art I was still re-using a lot of the character art and backgrounds from the last 2 episodes. But in this one I had to create some new new expressions and poses for the boys and the castle interior background. Dexter with his arms crossed I used some picture I had found as a reference for the castle interior but I don't remember what it was. Castle interior I also had to create the new character  Phineas Handela . I only started the character sketches for him and hadn't decided exactly how he would look yet.

aPen Doodles

So I got this aPen clip from Woot! for like 12 bucks. It's a little digital device that clips onto the page you're drawing on and saves what you draw on the page.

Now you would think this to be a huge annoyance, but to tell you the truth, I think it kinda does some interesting things. Here are just some doodles testing it out that I think added some character to what I was sketching. Sketch 1 Sketch 2

A storyboard of mine used in Sound On Sound Magazine

Image
Got an email from  +Grant Baciocco  telling me that a storyboard I made was just used in the August 2014 issue of Sound On Sound Magazine . It's from a cartoon I had animated for Grant's podcast series " The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd ". The article is about the use of storyboards for sound and design. "you start by acquiring a storyboard of key events (even crude drawings will be useful) and any stills or visual inspiration, such as clips of other movies the animators are using as their own reference. You can probably also get hold of early animatics of the movie (animations that are not properly rendered, or completed visually, but are sequenced chronologically as per the storyboard)." Here's the page from the article in the magazine: Related articles Dungeons & Dragons View-Master Reels from 1983 "Little Lala" Roulette Animated Short 'Create Your Own' 3D Printed figures that look like you
