Description
Part two of the Switzerland story! I call this section "smart guys yelling at each other."Part I: [link]
Part III: [link]
Some notes:
A lot of this section is in reference to a prologue of the Pseudoscientists story: When Dr. Jekyll was 19, he was part of a voyage to the arctic where he encountered Frankenstein for the first time. Frankenstein was at this point frostbitten and hallucinating and near death, but Jekyll painstakingly managed to nurse him back to health. A friendship (?) was started.
The Frankenstein at THAT point was very much the gloomy romantic scientist of the novel. It's meant to be a bit ironic that Frankenstein calls out Jekyll for being depressed and mopey when he himself is more than prone to melancholy moods.
They are both very different people now! But being so much in debt to Jekyll makes Frankenstein extremely uncomfortable, and he tends to respond by being brash and irreverent. (He also is pretty much ignoring the fact that Jekyll is out of his element and could really use his help.)
Also this is one of the silliest Hydes I have ever drawn. Apologies!

Frankenstein's impression of Dr. Jekyll: Priceless

(Man I suck at these...)

I'm glad you liked the impression, it's probably my favorite Frankenstein moment in the story!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I love everything!!!! Your drawing is just so smooth and natural, I wish I was as good as you 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm glad it looks that way, but believe me it took me a lot of time and practice. XD And Jekyll and Hyde are STILL really hard for me to draw!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Even so, it looks amazing! I mean, how long did it take you to perfect it! I also have a question for you...What do you draw first? The body? The head? The face? I have yet to solve this problem! I need your advice please! <={
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I usually do a quick thumbnail pass to get down the gesture, pose, and emotions of the character.... then I do a second pass getting the construction of the character down, then a clean-up pass

Duuuuuuuuuh...okay!!!!

I really
honestly
think it is safe to say that you are my favorite artist on dA.

This is amazing! The drawings are so clear and beautiful and the staging and use of secondary action throughout is fantastic! The presentation is not awkward either as is usually the case with storyboard. Applause!
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
This is super good! Great posing and staging. That is the cutest darn Frankenstein I've ever seen, haha, HIS LITTLE HANDSSS
Also! Rando question - I've only just started fiddling around with TVpaint myself (can't even figure out the shortcuts, oooh it's sad, haha), and was wondering which brush you used for this? It looks a bit like the pencil in the classic tools section, but not quite? I really like the dark but textureyness of it, whatever it is.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm pretty sure I am working with a pretty basic pencil brush (I first do roughs in blue, which you can get rid of later, then in black). It may look different because I may have messed around with the options under the "tool

This is great. You should make this a webcomic....or web-animated prose?...umm....what ever you would call it, its storytelling awesomeness
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
I'm sorry, that Hyde DOES look rather silly, though relatively quick to draw, so yay.
Much love for Frankenstein's 'kill your body' reasoning and the fact that Creature speaks in complete sentences. I always preferred that to the more ridiculous 'mash gooooood' type Creature.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm glad someone appreciated the "kill your body" banter, because I thought I was really smart when I thought that up. XD
The Creature is surprisingly fun to write for these little stories! He's kind of the voice of reason when all the nutty scientists are having little slapfights. Basically: "Girls! Girls. You're both pretty. Can I go home now?"
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
again, the fluent movements, STUNNING and extremely amusing <3
poor jekyll, he's not getting the hang of this at all, hope he doesn't have severe back pains from all that. I'm starting to feel bad for laughing as his clumsiness.
i'm kinda enjoying the little tension drama occuring, it says alot about their relationship and personalities.

Oh gosh, this is fantastic. *^* Nothing better than whiny adventurers in my opinion! And your characters are so fabulously designed for being expressive through gesture <3.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Your boards are so great. You have such great shots and how your characters interact with the surroundings you create is just brilliant.

Gosh I love these. ;-;
You could make the most amazing animations. Your expressions and movement, I am so jelly. 8'I
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
These are just amazing. Jekyll's expressions are priceless and I adore how you've really taken these characters to another level. 
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
That was fantastic! Lovely all around
I really enjoyed both parts!
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
This is beyond cool!!! seriously captivating and a real joy to watch ^_^
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
oh man i am just loving these!
i love Jekyll's sarcastically ill mood
and that Creature is something of a smartass ;D
also Hydeeee you finally made an appearance!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hyde will be making a REAL, non-derpy appearance in the next section!
I seem to be obeying my least favorite law of Jekyll and Hyde stories: Hyde can only show up halfway through the story, and you have to spend the entire first half listening to Jekyll's emo moaning.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
i wait in anticipation for real Hyde screentime then XD
haha well atleast Jekyll's emo moaning is pretty entertaining in this!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Don't worry, he shows up sooooon!

awsome love how dr jekyll just want to be in his own labatory and experiment instead of being in the beautiful outdoor of switcherland. can't wait to see more.

I just want you to know that this story you've got going may be my favorite thing ever. Just so you know.

Actually I just made this little slideshow in flash, the boards were drawn in TVPaint!

uuu both parts so far are so great! I love your take on... everyone, man. Your characters are so expressive and Jekyll is entirely too handsome for anybody's good! And the environments and just.. the everything. Aaaargh.
Also, shaggy-shadow-Hyde all the way. Jus sayin.
