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.
Crom, we got a little problem with the last strip you wrote.
The "Pigs run the Government one" or the one where you fall into an open manhole?
Those are the same strip, you blamed the governments faults on me, and then you stuffed me down an open manhole.
All the strips you've written so far, seem to have a violent overtone.
I don't know what you're talking about, and frankly, I am insulted.Why is it, you think that anytime I channel our work around here, into the comic we're releasing, you seem to think the violence is entirely based on me?
I'm simply imploying age old techniques for creating contrast through slapstick, and hyperbole. These are techniques my friend.
Hm. You know, you're on to something there, sorry dude. Next time I'll take a closer look at what you're trying to do before I come down on it.
Thank you.
And I, will refrain from poisoning your juicebox, while I say a lot of large, flowery words, and feign insult.
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.
