Description
Oooooooh... Conquering Tide animated? What's this!?Ok, so I've always planned to take Conquering Tide further. I knew I wouldn't be able to film season 2, so I had to plan how I wanted the rest of the story to be told.
Novel? Web Comic? Animation?
How about all three?
The one major problem I encountered with the animation side, was that my original drawings would be FAR too complicated to animate. So simplification was needed... so then they just started to look like Dreamworks' "Spirit"... and I don't want my characters to look like something that's already out there. I want each character to be distinctively recognizable, by shape, personality and colour.
So, after watching a few episodes of the Ricky Gervais Show, I tried to infuse a popular design technique, and here's the result!
I could explain so much more, but I need to get back to work.
This page shows Loki, Thor and Venus.

I prefer your older style, but I completely understand how simplified more cartoony characters would be easier to animate.

I LOVE your webisodes so much, still watching and haven't finished the season yet, and you say that there is no Season 2 but you are making comics and such?

OMG, I am also making a Breyer series, and actually I started making a novel alreaghty and possibly a comic. Animation might be in the future since I'm only twelve, but is that O.K with you, and by the way in my series one of the first few episodes on Youtube will have the same type of animation as you had in Conquering Tide episode 1, I hope it's O.K with you and I love your work keep it up!!!
P.S: Watch my series on Youtube coming soon (hope fully it will be out by the end of summer,and check out my channel, www.youtube.com/blublumapletree).

I really like this style.! It looks all animationey! Ok. Wow. That's not a word. Need to work on grammar and spelling. I can't wait to see CT possibly animated! I have one question though. Will the episodes be published on YouTube or your own website? Or possibly both? By the way, Loki looks seeexxxxaaahh. He looks all dark and mysterious. XD One more thing. I was thinking, what if you did a live chat thing? When you have time though. And you answer all our questions we have and tell us more about CT and what's coming up.?

This is great!I'm just a little confused, coz i know you had the CT characters made with Peter Stone but does that mean your not gonna film with them at all for CT? I know your really busy and you've lots of work to do, but i'm really gonna miss your filming!

Thanks!
I sat there at the drawing board for hours, thinking "Oh god, there's no way I'm going to be able to film Conquering Tide season 2 with the models... and I can't animate it because my drawings are WAY too complicated... I'm going to let all the fans down!"....
Then tried taking it back to basics... I tried to pinpoint what would make the characters distinctive yet simple. The problem was I kept trying to change the horse shape, rather than focus on a specific shape, and work with it... After hours of thinking, I finally grasped a good idea.
I just need to take it further now!
