The following frames were individually created for an animatic I was producing in the style of #Pixar's #Cars movies. It's a scene from #bettercallsaul on #amc . I've been drawn to this show, perhaps because it's related to #breakingbad one of my all-time favourites but I offer no apologies. I recorded the audio from the show and tried my best to sync the images with the audio using iMovie (not the best program to do this in but I'm learning). The frames are in sequential order.

 

Here's the video file. Hope it comes through clear. #BetterCallSaul

A year ago while we were all quarantined I got into doing this character design challenge . I asked my friends to submit their favourites so I could draw them in my style. The following pages are these characters in my style.

Some weren't exactly characters. I don't know how many people actually understood the concept, but in my business you draw what's been given to you not what you would rather do. Also it's a exercise in patience and diplomacy, two traits that every pro artist needs.

When you think people are going to request cartoon characters they actually request human characters (or pets).

When I drew these I hadn't seen an episode of The Mandalorian yet but I'd heard all the fuss and seen all the memes. Little did I know that I would get it right with the relationship between the Mandalorian and Grogu (baby Yoda). I had no idea this was an actual scene, Grogu touching stuff.

You learn to not be so critical of your own mistakes too. I don't think Leia is feminine enough but these were freebies and an exercise in art so I let it go. I enjoyed the challenge of drawing Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing.

Once the word got out of me taking on characters now I was getting everything . KISS fans weren't going to be far behind. Of course they're also the pickiest. Turns out I was mixing outfits with the years and the band members, or I got a specific line of makeup wrong. That's the thing about the internet, people will not be shy about telling you how wrong you got it.

I can tell the age of my requestors by their submissions. Some people want their own memories sent back to them but these are characters in MY style and that includes their actions.

These were for my wife who loved the 1st Suicide Squad movie. Me, not so much. Once again, it's not about what I want.
