OK, Now We’re Getting Somewhere…

Well gang, I listened to your comments, I slept, I dreamed, I did some world-class rapping (hold tight Mothboy!), I opened a business account, I researched some new conduits, then I sat down 45 minutes ago with the new Cam’ron mixtape and Manga Studio 4, and mashed this out.

We’re definitely getting somewhere now. This lil dude’s got personality. I haven’t even given him a recognisable outfit yet, but this is definitely going in the right direction. Might need simplifying a little. Glasses is a no-no cos they restrict the eyeballs – and anyway, I got my contact-lens prescription, and as soon as I’ve got a spare £40 I’m getting me a six month supply. Mainly so I can rock the 3D glasses I robbed from the cinema after I saw Up. I swear those things have luck in them.

Anyway. What do you reckon?

    looking good dude, eyes are much better.

    Since you've got your green screen now, you could always just use your real head and have everythin gelse animated. Not my idea though, I saw Aesop Rocks' video for None Shall Pass and thouh i'd share :) top song though!

    but i like, definite resemblance, perhaps he needs the blob constantly trying to keep up with him? gotta include the blob!

      …agreed, it needs props. Some sorta ATD props, blob, moustache (what’s left of it), sword of omens(?), whatever. Gotta have a ‘hook’ to it, something heraldic those who know you not can ‘recognise’ you with across several images. Dunno what you gotta’gainsta’gangstas’glasses…

        You’re right, of course. However, moustache got chopped… right now I got a massive beard, but that won’t last past winter. And I am not anti-specks at all, I am just pro-massive cartoony eyeballs!

  • Akira The Don

    Ha! The foot IS the wrong way round! What would I do without you guys?!

  • DRZA

    Like it! Kind of reminds me of your cartoons of me back in the day (without the wonky mouth)

  • Melo

    Your head has proper scruffiness in this version! Kind of liked the cheeky "D on it's back" eyes though. Either way, Good job! You got a lot done.
