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. You can connect it to your computer to download an image file of it later. Seemed like a neat idea right? And for $12 I thought, what the hell. Well the device doesn't really stay still and that makes it so the lines don't match up exactly as you go along. 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

My Cartoon Series: Xylus & Dexter in Space! Ep2 - What's That?

Overview This is Episode 2 of the internet cartoon series I made back in 2003 starring my kids Xylus and Dexter. The original story was 17 pages but I broke it up into 2 minute episodes. I was on a Rocky & Bullwinkle kick at the time and I liked how they would tell a story over a series of episodes.

Xylus & Dexter in Space! (2003) Overview Later on in 2003, I began to work on my own animated internet series for the Xylus and Dexter characters. I had been watching a lot of internet cartoons by this time and had learned how I could view them frame by frame so I could study how they were made. A few that were the most useful were, Elmo Aardvark which was made by Renegade Animation and Weekend Pussy Hunt by John Kricfalusi . Concept Xylus and Dexter are traveling through space, flying above the planet Mars when a slight mishap causes them to land earlier than expected. Xylus & Dexter flying above Mars Art I spent more time on the layout of the storyboards for this series. I wanted to make sure I knew what everything was going to look like from the very beginning.
