Pages

Yes, I know there's been some radio silence lately. BUT, it was for a VERY good reason. Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present the magazine Pages.
Pages contains stories by me and eight other artists, among whom our favorite co-blogger Caroline and Eternal Hero Michael Lewerissa, who not only drew the longest story but also got the whole thing published.

Plans are to first go and sell the mag at Abunai (one of Hollands best-known anime-conventions), and after that it'll be available to the lot of you. More details on that will follow.

P.S. The magazine actually looks tons better than the picture gives it credit for. The photo was taken with my crappy mobile phone cam and totally doesn't capture the mag's Awesomeness AT ALL.

EXPO!!!

OK! First of all, I'd like to tell you guys that all the panic of last post has come to a good ending after all. It took me almost all night (and a good deal of my sanity) but I got the job done. In time!

Then some other good news: I graduated! Since last Wednesday I'm entitled to call myself a multimedia designer, specialized in Animation! It really feels great. I finally can do the thing I like most of all for a living! How awesome is that!

That leaves me with one more thing to tell you gang about: the Expo! Last Thursday we had the whole day to show parents, friends and other people what we made for our exam project. It was crowded, it was hot, but it was SO worth it!!! Check out our stand, by the way:

It really did what we designed it to do: pull the attention of people and show what we've been through to give those people the movie they were watching. I love it when a presentation is this self-explanatory.

So yeah. I suppose you now want to see our movie as well. Then rest assured, thou shan't have to wait any longer! Behold!



I'm pretty proud of it. I hope you agree.
See you guys later!

Poster

STRESS!!!

Yes people, it is that time again. The deadline for our Exam Project is in about three days and have we still got some work to do...

Anyhow. Seeing as the production of our short (read all about it here) is still in full swing, I can't yet reveal any spoiler pics. So, as not to leave you guys, patient as you are, waiting with empty hands, here is our poster.

I think it really captures the feeling of our movie. Drawn artwork was done by me, the logo by classmate and partner-in-crime Anneloes van Koppenhagen.

I'm getting excited and I hope you guys are too. To top it all off, I have another surprise for you:

New 100 Things. This Saturday. Be there.

WE'RE DOING THIS! See you all next time!

Exam Project

Some of you may have been wondering what's causing all the delays with the 100 Things series. Yes, people, I am aware that I'm like 4 cartoons behind. I'll make up for it. Promise.
Here's why: I'm in the middle of my Exam Project. Seeing as our classmates are making some really cool stuff, my teammate and I have decided that our short too should be Legendary at the very least. Which means that it's a lot of work.

The movie tells the story of a princess who's locked up in some tower. Two warriors hear her cries for help and try to save her. But the way to the tower is not without danger and how will the princess react upon her saviors?

Below you'll find some characters sketches and a behind-the-screens picture. Want spoilers? Check out our animatic!

The small hero. Your typical annoying know-it-all. Pretty bossy guy too. Wants the princess.

The big hero. The kinda guy who only understands two words (preferably used in the same sentence): Bar. Fight.

The princess. Locked up in a tower. Guarded by a dragon. Prefers big, hairy men.

Dragon. The hugest characters of our cast. Also the character with the least screentime. Very, very moody.

The cast as it was two weeks ago. By Monday the human characters'll all have clothes, hair and faces.
