Monstrous Regiment: Lieutenant Blouse - Old Pencil Thumbnails

Now Towering was laughing. He was far too relaxed for a bound man, and Blouse sounded far too much like a nice but worried man trying to appear firm and determined. To Polly, it was like watching a child bluffing in poker against a man called Doc.

‘A word in private, Perks?’ snapped Blouse. He drew her closer, but Polly kept her eye on Sergeant Towering. He might be bound hand and foot, but she wouldn’t have trusted a man who grinned like that if he’d been nailed to the ceiling.

‘Perks, you are making a great contribution but I really will not have my orders continually questioned,’ said Blouse.

‘You are my batman, after all. I think I run a “happy ship” here, but I will be obeyed. Please?’

It was like being savaged by a goldfish, but she had to admit he had a point.

Working on Thumbnails and establishing a solid style for the series

Working title: Predicament of the TimeKeeper.

Probs gonna be young adult/mature given how many deaths are planned. I'm thinking nine episodes. Pilot should be ready by November (I hope)

Beginning sketches for blink! The layouts in Blink will comprise of: The Dark city, The Ruins, The Rocks, The Sands, and lastly The Tower.

The Dark City: A fallen Utopian style city that has been forced to build on top of itself for many years just to survive. It is jumbled, cramped, and patchwork, but is keeping itself together. Surrounded by water, much of the city’s outer rings and the pillars of its bridge has been lost below the surface of the rising tide.  

The Ruins:  The Ruins are what is left of the once sprawling city, washed up on the shore and sunk into quicksand-like ground. 

The Rocks:  The Safest way to get to the sands. A maze of interlocking caves, red in color and striated from years of sediment buildup. Slowly, the breakdown of these caves and rocks created The Sands. 

The Sands and The Tower: The sands are an expansive dessert, once full of life. Now, fragments of the other five fallen Goliath and towers litter the sands. Only one tower remains, with it’s light glowing atop it. Around the tower, plant-life and animals are plentiful and prosperous and there are spires spiraling around it’s perimeter. These are the evidence of the Last Goliath slumbering under the sands and protecting his tower.

An old Night Watch piece from my first read - Rosie Palm, Sandra and Agony Aunts.

Over the time I've developed this hybrid style of animation thumbnails combined with comic panels and mini pictures.

Monstrous Regiment: Old Pencil Thumbnails

...That’s my best offer.’ He took a sip of tea, and added, ‘It’s a better one than most of the Tenth got, I’ll tell you. I heard your regiment got wiped out.’

Polly’s expression didn’t change, but she felt herself curl up into a tinyball behind it.

Look at the eyes, look at the eyes. Liar. Liar.

‘Wiped out?’ said Blouse.

Towering dropped his mug of tea...

‘And he’s made the tea lukewarm so’s it won’t hurt when I splashes it in his face,’ Towering went on. He gave Polly the steady, honest gaze of the born bastard.

Polly held it, lie for lie.

‘Oh, yeah. The Ankh-Morpork people’ve got a little printing press on a cart, over on the other side of the river,’ said Towering, still watching Polly.

‘For morale, they say. And they sent the picture back to the city, too, on the clacks. Don’t ask me how. Oh yeah, a good picture. “Plucky Rookies Trounce Zlobenia’s Finest”, they wrote. Funny thing, but it looks like the writer man didn’t spot it was the Prince. But we all did!’
