Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Puny Boogeyman

There is nobody more critical of a character’s design than the character himself.

-and this is the second character of Pitch, although I suppose he’s almost the main character… well, they both are. Not quite sure how to colour him but it’ll be likely be quite different from the human characters.

Initially I wanted to make a character that was completely black, like Oswald and Mickey, and then ‘Pitch’ could have been his name too. This little guy just didn’t work out like that, however, and I’m not going to argue with him.

So the film I’m working on is going to be called ‘Pitch’ (maybe, titles tend to change in my experience).

I’ve been doing some boarding this morning and trying to figure out how to make it look how it looks in my head. I’ll be animating paperlessly in ToonBoom, so it’s a bit trickier than working in pencil then scanning it in. Anyway, the main character is getting there and I think this might be how it’ll look, sort of, if I can punch the brushes in the face enough.

He doesn’t have a name but I’m not sure he actually needs one in this case.

Finished my work for the morning so here’s some doodles of Pitch. I’ve written up a short animation which revolves around him and his creator which I hope I can make some day.

I really wanted to create a character that was as basic as possible that could still be appealing- so yes, he’s effectively a silhouette with eyes.
