Unused Frame

Here's an unused frame from Episode 003. I wanted to introduce this character (who most certainly will be, in the future) during Gary's walkthrough, but there was one problem. The frame was going to go right in the middle of the episode, and it was going to have dialogue bubbles. Problem was, none of the other frames in the episode had dialogue, save for the last one. So, it really wasn't going to fit in the middle of all the other silent frames, and I decided to pull it. It was pretty hard to pull, especially since I had drawn and inked it already, but I was very happy with how much cleaner the episode turned out because of it.

Ooo! Ooo! Contest! Who can guess what kind of mythical creature this character is?

Helmet Sketches

While I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things, I thought I'd post some sketches and other things of interest to keep you guys entertained. So, here's a page of helmet sketches I did for Gary's coworkers around the office. You'll notice that I picked each of Gary's three cubemates from it.

I wanted to use helmets that hinted at each of the character's traits. Boar's helmet has excessive spikes to match his over-the-top violence, and face slits that give a dull expression to go with the fact that he never says much. I picked Lenny's helmet because it looked like it was smiling a big, cheesy smile -- so big that it couldn't be trusted. And finally, I wanted Eric's helmet to be plain like Gary's since he's similar to Gary in that he really doesn't have any obvious quirks like the other cubemates. He's one of the few "sane" people in the office.

You also may notice that I used a modified version of one of the helmets for the "Abyssal Account" guy. I had to make it look a little meaner.

More to come later...
