Description The cast of SSnPP in cel-animation style! (full view please~)

Notes: First of all, no- I didn't include Pepperbrandy, even though I know of a lot people like him.   Haven't quite resolved how my steam-kitty (and consequently, *all* the animals) will look for the animation just yet. Second of all yes- I know, 'Jack & Sally, Nightmare Before Christmas, yadda yadda'. ¦þ To be honest I named Sally in like 2 seconds when I first started creating this world. I named Jack along with 6 other boys in like 10 seconds and it was just the natural writing process that led to them being friends. Yup.

Actual Design Notes: Pretty happy with how my cast looks together. The height comparisons aren't entirely set in stone yet, but as long as they look like they can exist in the same world, we're gravy.

I started with color roughs to make sure they looked okay side by side:

Might as well name him Ampere then...the things I learn in school.

Too late~?  I defer to Retromissile on ever using that name.

Awww that's so kind of you.
But I wouldn't mind at all. Ampere was a historical person, so what? XD
I also have a Fulminati called "Ohm". Actually I think I used all names from the history of electricitiy.

Yeah, but, you know. I know your comic so it'd be weird/awkward to deliberately start naming my characters after yours.

I mean, how would we be able to do an eventual crossover then?? ¦^D

Retromissile In reply to 47ness [2015-07-15 08:34:29 +0000 UTC]

...why do I have an educational Electricity history comic with our characters in mind? Please kill me. XD

Wouldn't be a crossover funny if we would have same names? Hahaha

47ness In reply to Retromissile [2015-07-15 09:05:02 +0000 UTC]

Why not? I was at Comic-Con this weekend and educational comics were a legit thing that sold.

Maybe? Marvel did a Star Trek/X-Men crossover comic and the big lolz comes when a random crew member says "Dr. McCoy?" Dr. (Leonard) McCoy and Dr. (Hank) McCoy both go "Yes?"

Haha yeah, these kind of jokes are cool.

(Yeah. I carried them around in a tiny box like a pair of baby chicks which got a lot of attention.) They're only prototypes though and need a lot of revision.

For now they're only pre-order, and when I launch my SSnPP Kickstarter, they'll be high-tier rewards and available off the Symbiote website.

For animals and steam-powered creatures and things alike, how much cleaning and minimizing needed will depend on how much screen-time they'll get imo

47ness In reply to Reganov [2015-01-13 09:37:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Well animals (especially steam-powered ones) would be a huge draw, so of course they'll have a place in the show. Just need to fully commit to some designs....

Man such a great lineup, I love seeing how your characters' silhouettes and proportions all contrast when they're standing side by side like this! SO EXCITED!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

47ness In reply to Robo-Shark [2015-01-02 17:43:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah!

All about those broad gestural strokes when drawing each of them. (I wish more beginner artists would learn this; I'm tempted to put out like a tutorial in .swf format that shows you how to draw characters, one step per mouse-click.)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Robo-Shark In reply to 47ness [2015-01-02 17:49:59 +0000 UTC]

I'd be really interested in seeing it if you do! I prefer broad gestural strokes when I ink, and I really need to improve on my sketching methods and having more confidence in my lines there too >_>

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

47ness In reply to Robo-Shark [2015-01-02 17:59:13 +0000 UTC]

Well if it's the final inks, especially for animation, it should be okay to tweak and transform it in Photoshop.   But yeah, getting those initial poses and proportions down should definitely be swift and intuition-based.

(The tutorial would be doubly helpful to train assistant animators on the project... Like maybe one lesson would be "How To Draw Sally" and another would be more generic tips, since we're gonna need to produce a lot of extra characters along the way.)

Is this the first time we've seen Morticus in full colour? I don't remember seeing him as such previously, or I could just be becoming forgetful.

Looks great anyway mate.

47ness In reply to wraith11 [2015-01-01 07:32:12 +0000 UTC]

You're thinking of this one ...I deliberately left most him in shadows and eerie glows to mask what his real color scheme might be. XD;;

But yeah, created him way back in 2009 / finally made up my mind what color he is like just a couple days ago.

Just looked through the singular deviations and read the design notes
-Haha wow I actually never noticed Pete doesn't always wear his barrel in the comic XD now I'm interested in those other "random objects" Pete ends up wearing
-Sally's cape heck yea
-heheh heck yea Doc's shape language! I'd like to see how her walk cycle's handled with that dress of hers :3c
-Ooh Jack's green coat fits quite well with Sally's "perky-er" green dress. They look like a neat duo with their colors alone :3
-Oh yeah Nina's hair would be pretty challenging to animate *__* but man, do I want to see her in action!
-Aaw Ohm and Morticus have matching color schemes <3 truly they are dressed for villainy.
-Spurs! Oh how I still want to learn more about him!
Seeing your characters in color is such an awesome way to conclude the year, I'm really excited to see how these guys are going to look like in the future.

47ness In reply to JesnCin [2014-12-31 15:51:46 +0000 UTC]

Whoo, thanks for reading along!

-Yep; early on in the comic I thought it'd be a keen recurring gag (KEEN I SAY!) if he kept swapping out what he wears, but I ended up not because it might get too confusing/break the tone I was going for. The chart of random objects would be a fun bonus thing though.
-
-Watching some period pieces set near the American Civil War definitely help as references!
-Kinda, huh? :3c
-Maybe if her braids were just floaty balls? Kind of like a chain chomp...
-Yup- now you know! Originally it was just the matching cravats that tied them together~
-I have a lot figured out for Spurs; just need to get the story to those parts...! >>

It's just a small step in a way bigger project; here's to a new year with lots of color and excitement!! *nudge nudge*

No problem

-Oh I see. It's an interesting thing anyway! (I would so check out that chart XD)
-  
-Aye!
-yeah they're like a stylin' duo.
-it could work! That'd be interesting~
-may as well dress in matching color too :3
-I wanna get to those parts!

Oooooh~ *_____*
