Oh jesus...are you a zombie now? You don't crave flesh do you? Cuz I swear to fuck, if I fall asleep at my keyboard some afternoon and wake up with you eating my skull, I'm gonna be so choked.
No..idiot, I've changed when I look at story. Now I see the needs of a story so easily. Before we struggled to find the scenes and turns to make our tales complete. Now I'm at ease with it.
I can see the skein of our film to the end. We're going to kick so much ass now. We're going to script the shit out of this bitch.
Well it's no wonder. You're around me all the time, I'm a calming influence.
Calming influence?!
You're the angriest person I've ever SEEN. You screamed at a kid yesterday because he had ice cream, and you didn't, then you told him to give you his, and then he cried...
and you LAUGHED.
Yeah...well.. sometimes I have a metamorphosis too.
I transform into somebody who wants some fucking ice cream, and that little shit should have known better!
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.
