Webcomic work

This week’s ep will feature a dream sequence with the characters drawn in a totally different style – basically because I watched The Princess and the Frog and liked the ‘Almost There’ number in which Tiana’s fantasy is animated to look like the art-deco image of a fancy restaurant, i.e. everything’s drawn rather geometric and pared down, including Tiana herself. It probably doesn’t need to be repeated here, but the Disney style is *really* hard to imitate, even in jest; I spent most of the weekend trying to get Marj to look right as a much-less-WASPy version of Ariel; doing the rest of the cast as sea-cretures is proving a little easier, largely because I can work off the earlier Disney funny-animal characters – it’s the Disney-human physiognomy that’s particularly difficult to capture.

ETA - meanwhile, worse things happen at sea. Real-life oil-rig drama makes all this look frivolous.

Did I ever tell you about the CBC personality's memoirs which had a bit about one of his early jobs doing sound effects for a show that was *all* shipwreck tales? He claims a reviewer once asked, rhetorically, how there could possibly be anyone *left* in Nova Scotia.
