Grelle and Jorree - "Trophy"

I'm sorry for the crappy quality of these images.  See, the pad I'm using is too large to fit on my scanner bed.  I don't know whom to be angrier with - HP for their small scanner, or Utrecht for their unconventionally sized pad!  Either way, I'm sorry about the quality of the jpg.

Oh, and the drawing.

The Don - "The Open Sea"

I've slowed my roll with Donkey Town a bit this past month, but here's a quick comic to keep the dream alive.  The characters feel as animated (not literally) and voiced (not literally) as ever (not literally), and I'm looking forward to posting some new animatics and V.O. demos soon (literally).

Donkey Town - "Lepri-con" - Rough Intro Storyboards

Back again with an even cruder storyboard than last time.  This one is for what may end up being the pilot episode...

LEPRI-CON

It's Good Deed Monday, which means Grelle is going door to door, doing small, good deeds for her neighbors. It's a thankless task, and Grelle is finally at her wits' end. Meanwhile, The Don takes his hot air balloon out for a picnic brunch at the end of a rainbow, and finds a bag of gold. He calls a meeting at Town Hall, where everyone argues about what to do with it. Grelle, disgusted with everyone's selfish behavior, disguises herself as a leprechaun to lay claim to the bounty and shame them all. Unfortunately, several other Towners copy her plan, leading to a roomful of unconvincing leprechaun impostors, whose misinformed accents range from Australian to Japanese.

Donkey Town - "The Jorrees" Rough Board, Scene 1

Hey, everyone!  Here's a rough idea for an opening scene.  I believe this is the first time any of you will have heard these characters' voices.   Arriss's voice is just a placeholder, but Jorree's is pretty close to correct, I think.

"THE JORREES"

SYNOPSIS

After finalizing his divorce, Jorree decides to take a much needed vacation. Unfortunately, he can't afford one, so he opts for a stay-cation instead, holing up in his house for two weeks and slowly going insane. His madness culminates with him hosting an impromptu awards show for some of the inanimate objects in his house. When word of the awards gets around town, everyone wants one, and Jorree becomes inundated with flattery and attention.

Donkey Town - "Airplane" episode idea

Long time no post!  Quick update:  After a fruitful year of crafting the second season of a Korean cartoon called "Cloud Bread," I'm back pursuing my true vocation:  Unemployment.  There hasn't been much happening with Donkey Town, lately, but I'm still generating ideas and writing scripts.  So here's a sort of rough sketch setup for a stand-alone episode called "Airplane."  Maybe I'll sketch a few more scenes for it in the coming days.
