This is a still from an animated feature I’m working on called “Bobo The Grim Versus Candy Land”…

OK… I’m joking… This is really just a personal piece I did based on an idea I had for a comic book that I’ll probably get to in a couple years if that (too busy with other projects at the moment). I wanted to do an experiment. Animation is a HUGE influence on my work. So I tried to emulate that look with the characters colored flatly as if they were finished on an animation cel placed on a painted background. I’m pretty happy with how the experiment turned out and plan on doing more pieces like this.

A cool thing I got out of this is that it incorporates the style I’ve been working in for the past couple years with the style I worked in previously. This illustration melds my two styles in a way that makes sense to me. I hope you dig it.
