Story Boards and Artwork...finaly another post

Howdy, It's Shaggy.

Recently we had someone leave a comment about our lack of posting. I'm here to apologize and let you know that its all LaBamba's fault. Its a long story but basically it boils down to him just being WAY TOO SPICY! Oh wait thats not it. We're just overworked so much that by the time we are done drawing and animating our arms are nothing more than worn down bloody stumps...which makes it hard to blog. Either that or we are just kinda lazy...which also make it hard to blog, or do just about anything. So thank you anonymous person (who very well could be LG's very own Joe'zee) for inspiring us to blog once again!

I Put together a few pieces from our last two animations... "Hulk Smash Energy Drink" and "The 5 Most Awkward Koolaid Ads" (check out the final pieces by clicking the links)

Here are the rough animatics I put together in around 2 days each.





While I was creating the rough animatics, Everyone else began the artwork. Here are some ink concepts and final artwork for the Hulk piece created by Joe'zee.



We created Hulk Smash from start to finish in one crazy week. Koolaid was spread out a bit due to other bidness stuff getting in the way. So what happened was all the artwork was created a week before hand and then last week Cabana Boy and I animated it all and put it together in 3 wonderful days.

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th!

Elves Gone Wild!

Elves Gone Wild! This is an animation that will probably go live next week. Here's a sneek peek of the production. Enjoy!

Some concept sketches of the characters by JoeZee. We decided to go with the middle elf because the elf on the left looked too young. Santa's fat. JoeZee sketched these in .4 seconds.

The final version of the Elf. He's happy.

Here's Cabana Boy's sketch of the main Background. We asked him to do a generic large long background so that we can use it for many shots. We're lazy.

All fancy, illustrated...and blurry. We blur backgrounds sometimes so that our characters "pop" more in the scene. Its a good little trick if you don't have time for palettes and stuff.

Santa's gonna dance topless in this one. Eepp! Shaggy's genius animation's gonna gross you guys out. See how Santa really stands out, go blurry BG!

Mrs. Clause gets a surprise. Oh those mischievous elves!

Rudolph's gonna kick some ass.

Beartoes has magical hairy Photoshop powers. Beartoes really has an eye for colors and layout. As with all our recent games, and quizzes, beartoes makes some serious eye candy. Too bad he smells like a wet dog and dirt.

Potty Mouth Ninja Game Characters

These are the main characters in the upcoming game, "Potty Mouth Ninja, Enter the Pirate". They were created in Illustrator, and a pinch of Flash magic.
