Clothes maketh the man.That applies to cartoons as well. Would you not agree Mr. Fitzgerald? What I mean is characters with clothes look always 'cooler'. What are your thoughts?
Uncle Eddie I have a question and a challenge. I know that above all you are a story man for animation and possibly an artist second (blind assumption please correct me if I am wrong)
Here is the challenge to me and you is we take a common story that is well known and make a quick animatic of how we see the story progress. You name the time and date with pencil in hand, we draw at midnight!
Eddie... your animation background and talent and possibly even your sheer genius makes even your doodles more interesting and action-packed than almost every superhero comic book artist working today.
Those dramatic walking poses rule. They absolutely rule.
Haha, I love the big legs and skinny arms.

An irrelevant news item...
ReplyDeleteMike Fontanelli fans will want to know that he has exited his double wide and dipped his toe in the world of blogging with a great guest post on Walt Kelly at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Blog.
See ya

Just imagine this suit guy animated by Rod Scribner! The world would end, after it lost its lunch.

ReplyDeleteDepends on which John Woo film. I'm guessing, via the surliness, Better Tomorrow I.
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast. By dressing a cartoon character in very sharp, serious clothes, the cartoon character becomes even funnier.
