Axe, a proven animation director/producer, and Crom, a script/screenwriter, have teamed up to produce a feature-length anime titled Panda Girls.
The "Behind the Scenes" menu above shows the production process, from Script-to-Screen, for the Panda Girls anime movie.
The DiaBLOGue below collects a daily commentary from the Panda Girls’ filmmakers, Axe & Crom, as they encountering the latest developments in the online film & anime industry.
Oh man, I can't wait for our comic to start flowing.
Fame and fortune will be ours. If I've learned anything from web comics, it's that money just shows up knocking.
I think you've got a slightly delusion view of the webcomic world.
Dude...look at the big hitter's in the webcomic world. They got it all: Fans, t-shirts, exclusive flash movie deals.
My god, it's the road to excess. The gravy train, with biscuit wheels.
Well maybe it would help if you wrote more than 5 strips. I'm almost done drawing 3 of them. You don't wanna pull the Ask A Ninja move.
Content is king dude.
Aw shit man, we're gonna farm that out, Archie styles. We'll get some baby faced intern to write them, and we can hire some desperate animation student to draw them.
It's been 6 months but I'm back working on the Panda Girls anime / manga pretty much full-time now. I was helping out a friend of mine, Dave Royer, with his business called SAGE Creatives, and we may see more developments with Dave and Panda Girls in the near future.
Jumping back into the Panda Girls project was a little odd and exciting. Odd in the way that I felt distanced visually, (Crom and I have maintained story meetings consistently during my hiatus), and exciting in that sense where you know time away always brings with it a new perspective. For my first post, I didn't want to make a splash. More just easing into it again, and giving myself time to find my stride.
Here's a couple of thumbnails, (in no particular order), to help me feel out the 10 page teaser. Jumping around to events/moments that inspired, and tried to catch them with the simplest shapes.
