here's a concept for the doorguy for my mephiskapheles video if i ever make it...



when i was stranded in colorado for a week i started planning out the first minute or so, the story has 3 scenes in a sense so i might just start on the first one to see if i can pull it off!

here's my penguin sketches.

:: mephiskapheles duck ::

i think i figured out the duck i was messing with before. i might go ahead with the mephiskapheles video because i can apparently get in touch with the band and get the rights. here's a really rough drawing of the duck:



pete and i just were going over some color options, and i thought i'd open it up. thoughts? anything here look good to you? should i have something else?

hey a new option:





here's the first batch before petes suggestions



after a conversation with sean [his blog's to the right] at apples in stereo, i decided to make him more like us, a half breed skapunk, instead of super genre oriented. a "skunk". it's tough because it's busy looking, but so are[/were] we. that way i think it might make it feel less like a genre war sort of thing, and more like this guy's just trying to have fun but the penguin is "too cool."

i'll post the penguin and cleanups soon. just wanted this on file.

here's the song i'm going to be using: "eskamoes" - property of mephiskapheles, and moon ska you might have to right click it.

oh! and here's the other character, i have to figure out a good way to get his blacks to work, but i have his design set.

:: freakin' duck ::

yesterday i got this character in my head that i couldn't get on paper for the life of me! this is it, or at least close!!!
