Spookulele! pilot animatic scene - "Drunk Walk Through the Graveyard"

I did this scene a few months ago, and at the time I was sort of neglecting to post art on Tumblr as much as I used to. I'm trying to post more now, so better late than never. This scene comes near the end of the first act of my pilot, in which the two leads, Jonesy, voiced by myself, and Anette, Janet Klein (Langtree, OTGW) are drunkenly trapsing home after a wild party, and encounter a strange new character with a penchant for thievery. This is super rough and was actually a rewrite from a few months after recording took place, so that's why the voices aren't final (but re records will happen soon with any luck)

Spookulele! is a Halloween special set during the American prohibition era, which is also a jazz-ukulele throwback musical. It follows Anette, a peppy ukulele-playing flapper girl, who is brought to the magical world of Hallow's Hollow by a wise-crackin' skeleton called Jonesy. If that interests you, you may want to follow my progress!

Thinking of adding some blue to Anette's dress, whaddawe think? (ft. the rare drawing of anette in makeup and fingerwaves/spitcurls)

WIP! Not-quite-fully revised animatic of one of the scenes from my pilot! Release date sometime in October. I hope.

Welcome to Hallow's Hollow! (a slightly revised animatic). I still need to add bunch of stuff, some rough animation in places, some lip sync in select areas, maybe spot color/lighting, some of the bacgrounds on a transparent layer. But we're gettin' somewhere! Follow me here (and elsewhere of course) if you wanna see regular updates, and be sure to catch the release of the whole animatic in October 2023! As always, the voice over work Janet Klein (Over the Garden Wall and Adventure Time) did was so excellent, I'll never get over it. Check out her music if you haven't already!

It's technically not that innacurate since janet was in that show, i odnt wanna hear any compaints from anybody)

Some old style tests I did to figure out how final renders might look. These have a few issues that are somewhat glaring, but they were pretty quick n’ dirty anyways. Some basic stuff I needed to figure out was how to make Jonesy pop in front of the backgrounds, as we used a lot of black for shadows, and his design is basically a stick figure in black. I think I still need to tweak, but I’m close to some sort of solution. Backgrounds as always were done by @frodo-a-gogo

Wahoo!

Ol' Bonesy Jonesy and Lil' Nettie have changed quite a lot over the years! And also not at all. Namely Anette is more historically accurate

Should I make merch? Is there interest?
