So if you couldn’t already tell by the influx “I ❤️ Klaus” posts, I really REEEEAAAALLY loved Klaus! 10 outta 10, will see again and again! The hand-drawn animation is beautiful and blends almost flawlessly with 3D. Love the voice acting, the characters were a lot of fun, and my god it knows how to hit you in the feels when you least expect it.

Sergio Pablos, congratulations to you and your team for creating this hand-drawn masterpiece to close the year out on! Please have all the money and the Oscars!!

Day 1 of Inkcember because I'm broke, so I'm drawing a quick, rough piece a day for my wife for the holidays <3

Idk any more

It’s weird, I really don’t like Country, but I definitely like a fair amount of Bluegrass. And I know they’re considered separate genres but they sound close enough to me that it kind of messes with my self-concept XD. 

But this one is cool. I feel like it might need to go in the playlist for Knights of Day somewhere. After all, as Kherty-Aken says, “Two coins are my due.”

In Greece, a coin was placed in the mouth of the dead; the soul would need it to pay Charon to ferry him or her into Hades

The Ferry Man

In the first panel of the story boards, I had drawn a small Ferry Man that brought Stan to the shore of the Styx. My team mates immediately liked the look of him and since he is basically a skeleton, his model could be reused to populate the game environment (Sans hood, Avec different accessories maybe.)

The above image demonstrates several stylisations of a human skull, so that the modeller could judge which one would be the most feasible to create in 3D. I allowed him to choose and he preferred the top left, as he was cute and happy looking.

The above turnaround was sketched for modelling reference. Giving the modeller a naked version of this character allows it to be reused later. Possible with the addition of a variety of hats.

A version of the previous model sheet with the simple addition of a Hoodie. I thought a Hoodie could be more contemporary than a cloak, is simpler to animate and adds a quirky twist to the iconic Ferry man.
