It's been a minute, hasn't it? What have you been up to? That's fantastic, really. I'm really glad to hear it. Right. Right, sure. Absolutely. Uh huh. Well that's good, really, I'm pleased for you. No one deserves it more. No, I always felt you guys were right for each other. Yes. Y - well, no, not at first, to be honest, but. Exa<i>ctly</i>. Ugh - that's so good to hear, seriously. Congratulations.<br />
<br />
Me? I'm fine. All kinds of things have gone down since I last posted here - had a kid, created my first web series for Nickelodeon - but let's focus on Donkey Town, shall we? I'm back with the brilliant team that rigged, animated, and storyboarded the <a href="http://vimeo.com/96820379">first Donkey Town short</a>, and we're not only working on another one, we're doing it with an eye to pitching the series. Once this short's done, we'll have fully functional rigs of The Don, Grelle, Arriss, and Jorree - all four main characters! Here's a page of Jorree arms that I drew to be used for his rig.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><br />

I'll be working mainly on scripts and a pitch bible for the next few weeks, so maybe I'll post a few doodles and bits of dialogue every now and then. Or maybe I'll just go quiet for another 25 months.

Kren's the fast-talking brains, Hendry's the slow-talking not-brains. I have a bunch of sample repartee written for them, which I'll try to comic-ize and post over the next few days. Until then, here's a rather crowded, poorly paced vignette to introduce them.<br />

I'd originally conceived of her as a more sensible, grounded sibling, always worried about her brother, checking in on him, etc. But when I actually sat down to realize her in comic form, all that went out the window. Why not make her a cynical, new age castoff, someone deeply injured and perpetually self-sabotaging, who rolls her eyes at her own plight but is unable to stop feeding into the drama and attention it creates around her.<br />

I don't have the answers. But I do have some old comics here that I never got around to posting last year (mainly because I wasn't too thrilled with them). Donkey Town continues apace, which is to say not at all. I'm ready to work on it, but I'm actually really busy with other things, including a delightful PBS Kids show that premiers in September. I'll keep you updated on all that as it becomes real, delightful, and hopefully real delightful.</div>

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.

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.<br />

SYNOPSIS<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">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. </span>Billy Lopezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14561064421326150448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968208249512553467.post-76798948447852517482012-01-15T11:54:00.000-05:002012-01-15T11:54:51.428-05:00Donkey Town - "Airplane" episode ideaLong 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.<br />

She downloaded some sea sounds on her iPhone, told everybody to close their eyes, and said, "We're going on a journey." She led me through it that night as we lay in bed, and it was the cutest, most relaxing thing ever. Of course, as I relaxed, and respired, and lay with my eyes closed listening to Sarah's completely unique voice, I couldn't help but picture Grelle intoning all those same blissful phrases to a room full of distractible, vacant-eyed, soullessly impish townies. And having the whole thing turn into the most stressful, aggravating group meditation ever. So one of the episodes in the first season will take place in Grelle's meditation class. But here's a little comic I drew to brainstorm the scenario.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYUYpAnovdfo73CzW2bH8qtTo0Ll8cMt-yEvc0dZVU-0EwqsMs8r0iHCqzDg4leR25OBXy2tX_qTVewF9QrbTLivR51T9WJ4G2aUMRy83iln-LMn-bIlAGN1WN9iCx61TUGFb00LXdnQN/s1600/Meditation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYUYpAnovdfo73CzW2bH8qtTo0Ll8cMt-yEvc0dZVU-0EwqsMs8r0iHCqzDg4leR25OBXy2tX_qTVewF9QrbTLivR51T9WJ4G2aUMRy83iln-LMn-bIlAGN1WN9iCx61TUGFb00LXdnQN/s320/Meditation.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Billy Lopezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14561064421326150448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968208249512553467.post-26769615376255903892011-09-13T13:30:00.000-04:002011-09-13T13:30:22.514-04:00The Don - "Bananas"The other day I came up with an idea for the finale of Donkey Town season 1. My hope is that it'll give the whole thing a dramatic arc, poignantly humanizing the characters for the first time, and really making you feel for them as pathetic, tragic figures.<br />

Just a quick update here. I've been working hard at lots of things, but Donkey Town has taken a back seat for the past few weeks. Still, the project is moving forward, and soon I should have some actual animation to post! I know I keep writing that, but it's really, honestly true, and when you see it, you'll flip out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's been quite a while - last time we spoke was in April! I've been busy doing stuff like working at my job, getting money, buying guitars, etc. Well, "etc." might be stretching it, as I can't really think of many other things I've been doing. But I <i>have</i> been working on Donkey Town, and I've even started to pitch it around a little. Tom Witte is finishing up the first animated short ("Eggs"), and to judge by the first thirty seconds, or so, it's going to be amazing. <br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Also, Sarah's going to make some shirts and bags featuring this image. She's so talented. Once they're done, I'll post a picture, and maybe you can order one!<br />

Tom Witte has engineered a look that is far too classy and sophisticated for my cave-dweller drawings, and yet fits them perfectly. I feel so lucky to be working with such amazing people on this project, as well as the several others I'm juggling (e.g. <a href="http://belargosy.blogspot.com/">Bel Argosy</a> and <a href="http://howzitfunnies.blogspot.com/">Surrealia</a>), and I can't wait to show it all off to the world. Which sounds a little like I'm talking about getting nude. But I'm not. Talking about it, at least.<br />
