Scott mouths

Gilles mouths

gilles lip sync

Notice I gave him different teeth in the angry positions than in the happy positions.

express yourself

These were just some ideas to show the range of expressions and to help the animators, they were not meant to be used exactly, just as a reference.

ANDY TRAVIS take 2

It's GARY SANDY again. Not too much different from the first caricature, this time I didn't show his eyes and his neck gets wider toward his shoulders. More Gary Sandy/Andy Travis yet to come!

ANDY TRAVIS

GARY SANDY was perfect as ANDY TRAVIS in WKRP IN CINCINNATI. This is my first attempt at his caricature. After sketching out this first one, I have ideas for the next go at him. I'll see how far I can push certain things before it looses the likeness to Andy Travis.

Gilles rotation

poster

The idea I had for this poster was to make it look like the type of poster you might see at an actual comedy club. I think I captured the feel of a comedy club poster, and it is definitely better than the standard crappy promo pieces the animation industry usually turns out. Speaking of comedy clubs, just last weekend I saw JAMIE KENNEDY in a small comedy club. His stand up act was freakin' hilarious!

evolusion of a character design

A few tweeks and...VOILA! Finally nailed it.

They wanted him shorter, a cross between the too old version and the younger one. So I came up with this.

And with a bow tie.

So I knocked off about 40 years and made him taller.

This is Montreal comedian Gilles Latulippe. This is my first attempt at this design. I was told he was too old. They want him to look like a young Gilles, even though this is how old he looks now.

facial expressions

Seeing Scott Falconbridge perform his stand up act live was a huge help when it came time to create facial expressions. He's got the craziest facial expressions I have ever seen. It was a blast to recreate his psychotic expressions in a drawing.

SCOTT FALCONBRIDGE

Tweeked his hair a bit, and was requested to make him a bit shorter, which I did in this rotation.

Clean, vectorized, and colored.

SCOTT FALCONBRIDGE

These are the rough sketches of Montreal comedian, Scott Falconbridge. I even got to see his stand up act at a comedy club in Montreal. It was hilarious!

gamblers

This couple is always at the bar at the video poker machines.

suz caricature

Another caricature. I need to do more caricaturing.

I love this guy!

I love the BAR FLY character! These are just some locations of the interior of the bar. It looks empty right now, but the club and the seats will eventually be filled audience characters.
