ahaha hey remember when I had a burst of storyboarding parts of the feature film of SKIP that’s in my brain but will likely never happen? :’D was going through an old sketchbook and found some sketches I never used for that so hey maybe you’d like them
oh and the toy ones are from a bit where they get turned into toys… yeah
some people have been wanting a guide to drawing Arthur and Mesi so these are some general notes (although they ended up being more about movement and form rather than anything… helpful… oops)
I guess it’s kind of a breakdown of how their action matches their personality and design more than anything else but hey it was a good change of gear for me \o/
someone pointed out that I’ve only drawn Mesi sleeping on Arthur and not the other way around and that just won’t do
oh hey so remember scary burny wax lady from back here well yeah I got bored and there’s this bit where she turns Arthur and Mesi into toys because that is totally what a vindictive spooky fire sorceress would do right
well it is if you know how the story with a one-legged tin soldier and the paper ballerina ends anyway
everyone else was drawing their OC’s as centaur people and I want to be one of the cool kids too >:T
alternate explanation is Arthur and Mesi end up transitioning into a Fantasia setting and Mesi thinks it’s his fault \o/
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
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
