f in all y I didn’t think I’d manage to finish this chunk ever but hopefully I can get the next bit done sooner because cliffhanger
one of the fun things I’d like to play around with in the feature is that they transition between film genres via reflective surfaces; puddles, mirrors, even sword blades in this case (also yes sorry for very bad bg’s but I’m on a tight schedule here whoops what a bad excuse)
I confess these aren’t really proper storyboards, more a sort of ugly mash of beatboards and storyboards, but hey it’s mostly for larks so what the hey \o/
previous SKIP boards explaining why Arthur is sopping wet over here
phew! just about managed to get something done for centaur day here enjoy my hideous colour palette that I chose with my eyes shut
Caper is a scarecrow centaur who used to be a regular scarecrow until a big storm tore her torso off and sent it flying off for miles to crash land in an old abandoned windmill. She rebuilt herself using what materials she could find (which included two sink plungers and an old broom), and now she lives there with her water vole friend and a cranky old goat who tries to eat parts of her from time to time.
I’m not even joking I had about twenty asks about if Mesi ever found out about Arthur’s scars
I’m actually quite glad someone made me bring up this part of Arthur’s character, because it goes a long way to explaining why one of his first interactions with Mesi is such a complete car crash.
Also for those who are surprised, he’s not exactly the first silent comedian to get tangled up in WWI
Anonymous asked: what are Arthur and Mesi like if they get angry?
well gosh, Mesi isn’t too shy about letting people know about her feelings and out of the two she definitely has the most extremes when it comes to facial expressions, so it really depends on the type of angry that she is (but for general purpose it’s mostly tiger-like snarling rage), she’s very honest about her emotions and she makes very cartoonish faces too
as for Arthur he’s, well, he’s extremely difficult to upset at all but if you do I don’t know what to tell you man it’s like you know that one person who’s super gentle and kind and never ever gets angry and then when they do it’s like what thefUCKO HGO D
just
don’t upset Arthur okay it’s not a good idea
I can’t believe there was a time that I used to draw trees with my dominant hand
sorry no proper picture for today but have some lazy screencaps of the next SKIP boards that I swear to god I will finish eventually
more Nursery doodles just to blow off steam
Need advice? Talk to the triplets! Just be wary of the fact that one tells the truth, one tells lies, and one talks absolute gibberish. If that’s too confusing there’s always the Oracle, if you can deal with talking to a hollow-faced ceramic doll without getting too freaked out.
Oh and then there’s the self-propelled jack-in-the-box who’s just a massive jerkface and hellishly creepy to boot.
Fuck that guy.
