Western Short...

The other night I had some wierd fit of creativity.. Right as my wife was going to bed i was doodling a little cowboy drawing.. and it got me thinking about ideas... and I ended up roughly storyboarding a little short over the next 30 -45 min.. It was fun.. and I think I'd really like to try and do something with this one.. I know I'm the king of starting things for myself and never finishing them.. I have a couple shorts just lying there at either the rough boards or rough animatic stage... But this one felt different.. it was more serious... Most of my ideas are humor driven.. anyway.. here's a sketchbook page with my initial doodles for one of the characters...

hehe and the other image.. well.. I was showing Troy my rough boards.. and explaining them.. and he said... "You know what's missing... PIRATES! Pirates are hot now!".. and we started spewing out ides for a pirate / cowboy movie.. there were some pretty funny ideas... So I did a stickie doodle of the logo for the pirate cowboy short that might never be.. hehe.. If you check the sketchbook page out.. you can see where i drew the intial logo concept as we were talking.. it's a skull with a horseshoe behind it.. on a belt buckle. I changed it to guns and blades.hehe it's wonky as hell.. but whatever.. it's just a doodle.... hehe.. ahhhh... Troy... we have to make the Pirate/Cowboy movie!!

Anyway... Have a good weekend all!!.

My Smeagol...

Here's a few skeches I did of my cat Smeagol last night.. He doesn't like to sit still.. So most of this is from memory.. He's a great cat.. He likes to keep to himself.. But he's not afraid to come and get some love when he needs it. Notice how inconsistant he looks from drawing to drawing... It takes great skill to be that inconsistant =)....
