Welcome to my dumb blog

Please read this:

this blog is NOT for any Tennapel supporters/defenders. this blog is only about his works (games, comics, tv shows, etc.). I won't ever bring up his current action (especially on his Twitter) (hopefully if im sane enough) and I don't like him as a person. so feel free to block me instead of whining at me.

sooo, what's this blog about??

this blog is where I'm gonna post/reblog an obscure stuff or facts that's related to the works such as The Neverhood, Earthworm Jim, Catscratch, Gear, and any of his unpopular works. I may only bring up his stuff before late 2000- early 2020's (or should I say, present?? heh...) (I might bring up Armikrog too dw), well, idk, I'll think about it

this is also where I might post/reblog my (fan)art as well, probably the others too when I feel like it.

If you have any questions or facts that you want me to post, then please let me know!! I might not take any random questions that are not related to this topic at all, if you really want then do it on my main blog instead.

HOLY SHIT LEAKED STORYBOARDS FOR AN UNIDENTIFIED EARTHWORM JIM PROJECT DROPPED,

I REPEAT

LEAKED STORYBOARDS FOR AN UNIDENTIFIED EARTHWORM JIM PROJECT DROPPED.

[dougtenlarpel]

NOOTS

it seems like it was a comic of 2 mains, Herk and Freakus, unfortunately I still can't find what all of this is about (due to not owning his sketchbooks stuff (im broke asf), BUT, these guys have some similarity to the other 2 guys from the animated short "Koghead and Meatus". (and Freakus is the noodled head, tall one too.. heh...)

These are all from his sketches: vol. 1 (2005) and sketchbook archives (2013/2014).

And, this one too??

another NOOTS content I found from his Facebook, i don't really know what this is for, a tv show? I think it's more for a video game?? a Splatoon clone?? interesting...

[dougtenlarpel]

did you know that Doug has a character from the late 80's?? (probably one of his first ever characters, maybe??)

His name is Wenzel, in the first image, it seems like he has bandaged hands and legs (bandage shoes??), and a sword. He looks fit into a fantasy story. Could it be an inspiration of some later characters?? (especially... Willie Trombone..)

Also around 2-3 years later, he has a debut appearance in the comic "They Called Him Evil", with a different outfit and a different haircut, and Wenzel here as Evil's owner.

i love the sibling energy simon and waffle have.... i wish they kept simon for the show...

[fuckyeahcatscratch]

Concept art for the show, once again based more on their source material.

Done before Gear was turned into the cats monster truck and they changed Mr.Black to Mr.Blik.

"𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙎𝙞𝙢𝙤𝙣, 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮."

Note: this is not a real panel from the comic, and not even my original fanart (kind of?) lol. This is a redraw/replica of a concept art I found on a random Skullmonkeys video

you can likely see there's a south plate insect and some gears below that cat, so I'm pretty sure they're Waffle and Chee, but I don't know what the third panel is 💔 I wish there's a clear image of this..

[vibraloidz]

im still thinking about this demo/pilot animation,, it's literally the CLOSEST thing we get the original designs/casts.. Gordon was originally an orange tabby cat instead of a van patterned cat, in the Gear comic as well bcs his first colored design appeared on the 1st issue cover. I don't really know much abt Waffle's og colored design but his GREEN eyes was probably the first choice, and honestly i like his og/demo design more than the final one, bcs,, blue waffle... and Mr Blik was just, MR BLACK.. I'm sure at that time his name was still Mr Black and hadn't changed his name yet. NOT ONLY his design, name, but also his personality as well,, he looks and sounds much calmer and hotter than Mr Blik, im sorry but, that's totally different characters, they really downgraded Mr Black, Bleak, whatever, and made him as a little more immature and loud, i think it's bcs smtg smtg every cartoons need a character like that, yea i got it. (sorry if i sounded so rude)

im not just talking about the characters but i also wanted to mention the animation too,, the animation is tickling my brain for some reason, no wonder bcs it was done by Mike Dietz, the animator of EWJ, The Neverhood and Koghead and Meatus..,. i can immediately tell he did it bcs the way how he animated THE EYES, i first noticed when i watched the neverhood cutscene and KAM. This art/animation style is much more superior than the final one, ig it's because this is the only catscratch related thing Mike has ever worked on and I didn't see he mentioned more of his work of catscratch, only mentioned this demo animation, which is depressing... (if only the early pitch gear show was done animated too, i would've gone insane, yet im also insane now altho it's never happened.. whatever, it's pointless bcs who even gaf.)

[vibraloidz]

not much but, i found another (cool-ass) concept art of Gear tv show from Doug TenNapel's website back in 2002

[vibraloidz]

i still don't get it, i mean like, wdym this is literally the concept art for the show??? like, they look really edgy and darker than the comic itself,, esp these last 2 that im going to show here and some questions abt it (spoilers)

i have a lot of questions about the first one.. what is this?? i know the text looks blurry but i can read it a bit, i think it says "big gear waffle falls into hell"????? WAIT WHAT??? did i read it right??? the big one is WAFFLE??? he's the one who used Gear instead of Pago??? is this the alternative ending wtf??? i barely saw any interaction eachother from both gear and waffle 🥲🥲 but THIS???? no you're joking.... there's NO WAY this was for the show, except this was going to be a movie/teen-adult show but not by nickelodeon? maybe?? idk man,,, it's been more than a year I'm thinking of all of these,, this dang comic REALLY can't get out of my mind and only myself.....

made some gear stamps bcs i was bored

[vibraloidz]

AaaaaaaW WEEEEEEEEE!!! You have another picture I’ve never seen before as your profile picture! I love Meatus, he’s so cute. I vibe with that guy

Yeeee, it's from a Koghead and Meatus flyer, found on Mike Dietz' Instagram. And it looks like it's included some storyboards, I found the high res from the website (yes, there was a website, but there's not too much stuff there as far as i remember)

[banbuvssummerhome]

Some concept sketches of Klaymen and his early design where he had multiple strands of...stuff. Hair? Klay? Who knows, I don't.

[banbuvssummerhome]

Pictures of a Klaymen costume from one of the public presentations on The Neverhood. We have no idea if the costume still exists but it is both cute and terrifying at the same time so maybe things are best left unanswered.

[banbuvssummerhome]

Today was a big day for Neverhoodians, as the producer for The Neverhood, John A.S. Skeel graced us with some of the pitch documents and concept art, including the original plot for the game!!! How exciting!

I also hear that he may be selling this stuff in the future and digitally archiving it so keep a look out, fellow archivists!

Skullmonkeys super secret ending

[vibraloidz]

I’m unsure if you know this, and I apologize if you don’t, but is there any way to watch Koghead and Metus? Has the short been archived in some way? Like Internet Archive? If it hasn’t/you don’t know, then that’s totally understandable. I ask because I’m soooo in love w Metus rn <3 (Also very very sorry if this ask was already sent in, I tried sending it earlier but it said there was an error processing it. And I have no idea if that’s true or a lie haha)

The only way to watch it is on YouTube, but if you want to watch it in cleaner resolution and no timestamp, watch this one! (although it still kinda in low quality..) And if you just want some clip in better quality, check this website!

Sadly, there's no more of this because the original 35mm film apparently got lost.. I hope you understand..

Also if you want to see behind the scenes photos and concept art and stuff, check this out!

it pains me that whenever any ppl saw this guy, most of their impression of him were "oh dingdong!!" "ohh is that dingdong??" "oh yea that's klaymen" "isn't that klaymen??" "is that willie??" NO. THAT'S GEAR.!! PLS READ THE COMIC!!!
