Cats are better

A idea came to my mind this week. I was thinking how intense many girls react to animals, specially cats and dogs. I realize how funny the story of a guy and a cat competing for the love of a women could be. Plus, I wanted something abnormal.

So, the guy (let's call him Tom) has the ability to change into a cat and use it to be pet by his girlfriend (Sarah). After a certain time, the Sarah realize that Tom is never there when she's with the cat. She confront him and Tom says he hates cats. Sarah has to make a choice and she throws Tom out of her apartment. He turns into a cat and get back in when Sarah starts calling its cat name.

After some time, Sarah decides to date new guys. The cat makes sure it never works. One day, there is one guy too perfect (Paul) and the cat can't get rid of him. The cat choose to get back into its human form to appologise and seduce the girl again. The girl don't want to see Tom anymore. The cat don't know want to do anymore. As the girl and the new guy are about to make out, the cat change into Tom again in front of the girl. The girl shouts. The new guy want to kick Tom out of the apartment but Sarah tries to stop him. Paul gets angry and leaves. Sarah know now why she couldn't have a boyfriend and a cat at the same time. She wants to give another chance to Tom. Few day later, Tom arrives from work. He smells something weird. Sarah hides something behind her back. She shows Tom a new cat she bought to still have a cat around when he is in his human form. Tom looks the cats. The cat smiles. Tom is in trouble again. END! 

Pitch Designs

These are the designs I decided to work with for the pitch. I'll make model sheets for the four main characters. Finally, there is going to be a cat, a donkey, a pig and the pig's little sister (who's a chick not a pig).

Recipe Comic

I want to make a comic about a recipe. Here's the script:

THE PERFECT SATURDAY MORNING

At 9 am a Saturday morning, BIP BIP BIP! a clock rings. PETE wakes up looking at the readers. 

 

PETE

Hi guys! I'll show you one of my secret to a perfect Saturday morning.

Pete puts his slippers on. Wish a good morning to his toys collection and go to the kitchen.

PETE

The magic starts in the kitchen. First, you serve yourself a big glass of chocolate milk.

Pete drink a sip and smile with a mustache. He puts a super-hero apron. Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup flour, 1 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, 1-2 teaspoon vanilla, 4-6 teaspoon melted butter, 2-3 teaspoon oil (canola or olive), 2 eggs and a pinch of salt.

PETE

Now, we are ready for cooking pancakes! You will need a big bowl, a coffee cup, a tea spoon, a whisk and a half-cup measurement spoon. I modified the recipe a bit to have less dishes to wash. Take the big bowl and mix 3 half-cup of flour, 2 half-cup of sugar and a big pinch of salt.

Pete mix the ingredients making a cloud of flour over the bowl.

PETE

We can now make an inverted volcano in our bowl. Push the flour in the center to make a hole and fill it 3 half-cup of lava... Oups! milk! I meant milk! and whisk until it's homogenous.

Pete pour lava making a hole in his counter.

PETE

Put 4-6 tea spoon of butter in a coffee cup and make it melt in the microwave. Let it cool down because it's probably too hot right now or not completely melted.

The BUTTER is melting in pain.

BUTTER

I'm melting! Aaaarrghhh...

 

PETE

We can now complete the recipe with two eggs, 2-3 teaspoon of oil, 1-2 teaspoon of vanilla and the butter. Whisk everything to make it as smooth as possible. The next day the mix will be perfect so you can do it in advance if you have time. The mix is ready! Put it in a pan and don't be frustrated by the first one. The first is always bad.

 

A PANCAKE is laughing madly in the pan.

 

PANCAKE

HAHAHA! I'm so bad. Pure evil!

Pete sits on the couch with his mountain of pancake watching TV.

 

PETE

Finally, you eat the greatest pancakes watching cartoons in pajama. Have an amazing Saturday morning!

The Wizard Club

Four nerdy friends decides to train themselves to master magic in order to stop being bullied by the though knight and creatures living in their kingdom. Learning by mistake is certainly not the best way to learn magic but it can lead to unbelievably funny situations. The four friends starts a journey full of travels, enigmas, monsters and awesomeness.

There's a bird, a pig and a donkey. For the fourth one, I'm not sure yet. I thought it could be a hedgehog, a sloth or the bird little sister. I'll try to refine the designs. I'm not satisfy yet. The hedgehog look too much like the one in Simon's cat but I'll probably won't use it anyway.

A Real Pitch Is Coming

Hi,

I'm so happy to see there is people coming on the blog. Feel free to give your comments (English and French is good, otherwise I'll google translate it).

I'm working on many animated series pitch right now. A new idea came to me and I don't want to keep it to myself. I want to share it with you guys to get your comments. I want to make it perfect and I can't do it alone. The synopsis is already written but I want to make some quick designs to make it real, not just words floating in the air.

I can't wait to work with you on this! :)

Run Ryan Run

In a future not so far...

Ryan runs as fast as he can. He looks behind from time to time but can't see anything abnormal. There is just the normal disintegration of the urban landscape fill with the dirt of ages. Ryan keeps running knowing something is coming even if he can't see it. He sees a gas station not too far on his way. He sprints as fast as he can and hide behind one of the pillar supporting the roof over the pumps. He takes his breath and looks behind him. A giant robot emerge from the deserted town landscape. The robot search something destroying everything on his way. Ryan tries to be as silent and still as he can be. He looking around for an escape. The robot gets closer. Ryan sees a huge damaged electric cable. Ryan starts running toward the wire hoping the robot will step on it. The robot starts running in Ryan's direction. He break the gas station roof in pieces with his torso and hit the pillar with his arms. Ryan runs while big parts of the roof fall around him. Ryan jumps to the ground avoiding being crushed by a part of the roof. He looks behind. The robots step near the electric wire but don't get shocked. When Ryan thinks it's over, the robot drag the wire with his foot and trip. As the robot fall, the wire stretch and breaking the  rubber layer. The robot get shocked and falls on Ryan. The roof falls down on the robot.  Dirt and silence surround the scene. Suddenly, Ryan is conscious but confuse. He tries to free himself from the debris. He looks on the ground and see his body unanimated. He looks his hands. It's the robot's hands. Ryan looks around and can't see the robot body. He sits on the broken roof, looking at his human body and trying to make sense of this.

In this wrecked future, hope has come out. Oil it, fix it and a new peace can be.

A Day Off

An image is often more effective than words. I decided to make a comic strip this week. I wanted to put him naked at one point but it didn't bring anything more to the story so I kept it this way. I hope you will like it!
