Jake Avatar

I finished animating this Jake run cycle for the movie today, and I decided to make it an avatar in case anyone wants to accessorize with DTTAH on the webz. And because I wanted people to see it since it goes by pretty quick in the actual movie. As for updates on what's to come, tomorrow during study hall I'll start designing Jake's classmates' Puritan costumes and I'll request that Kevin come over on Saturday. ONCE THAT IS DONE, THE PURITANMAS SPECIAL SHALL BEGIN PRODUCTION!

OMG! BOYS IN DTTA--Oh wait

I couldn't fit it in the picture but here's a list of the students:

Top row, left to right: Mike, Brendan, Hank, Sal, and Greg.

Middle row, left to right: John, Chris, Tim, Jake, and Vin.

Bottom row, left to right: Sam, Francis, Rastis, and Kevin.

Teacher: Coach (unintentionally similar to Madman and Henchman, he's never referred to by a name more creative than his role in the show).

As for cartoon updates, next week I'll most likely be inviting Kevin C. over so we can record Puritanmas and possibly some of the movie.

Anesthesia Really Takes It Outta Ya....

The endoscopy went fine, though I was quite loopy afterwards. But today, I had a colonoscopy. So yesterday, until 2 PM, all I was allowed to eat was broth, Jell-O, and Gatorade. At 4, I had to take this terrible tasting liquid-medicine to, uh... clean me out. I threw it back up twice and it burned my tongue. So today I was woken up to find out my colonoscopy appointment had been moved up! YIPPEE SKIPPY. D: In the waiting room, I watched The Price is Right (for the first time, because I watch almost nothing but cartoons) on their TV. The guy next to me looked like some old guy trying to be gangsta. He kept twitching and cursing and he was covered in tattoos. Oddly enough, it was actually the calm guy next to him who was getting worked on. Anyway, they had me put on a hospital gown and they put the IV (Ivy?) in my arm. They explained some stuff, asked me to turn on my side, put the anesthesia in the IV and the world became blurry.





SO YEAH, I have an inflamed large intestine! So now I'll be taking 9 pills a day to treat it. AWESOME.

Wish I had a better on topic update than this, but here's the first shot of Jake's kitchen drawn by me (just an example for Lars to improve on):

Girls in DTTAH? WTF?

Girls DO exist in the DTTAHverse! I designed these girls from Jake's class back in January, or even before then, but never drew them in Flash until yesterday. I also designed the teacher on the spot yesterday, so she's bound to be redesigned. Not so creative with these, maybe someday I'll get back to designing more interesting female characters.

Concept Art part 3

I think this is it for DTTAH concept art.

Here we have a basic floor plan for Madman's lab. The computer's name is The Criterion

Jake and Madman fight in the lab. Madman has gone.. mad, Jake's hair is steaming because of prolonged exposure to electricity and... WOO.

Dramatic scene in which Madman refuses to accept defeat like a normal cartoon villain. This was done before the color guides. Almost a year ago, actually. I want to put this on a shirt.

Drew this while thinking about how to pull off Madman's origin. He's watching the freshly mutated Jake from the court building's roof.

Another shirt design. I got the idea from this video Kevin C. made with his little cousins and one of them got angry because they had apparently been denied their turn at being a ninja.

I'll let you guess this one by yourself. You don't need me to feed you everything.

Rapper designs for a Smit Raps music video that was recorded but not animated. I solely blame the Batty Rap from 'Fern Gully', sorry.

The Hanson family.

Concept Art part 2

Here we have Jake watching Henchman's origin. Clearly, this part of the movie will make it the feel good film of the year













tablet test drawing that did not go well












This is the first attempt at a tablet drawing with Jake.














These are from, like, a year ago now. You can tell from the even more obvious lack of proportions, Jake's thinning hair in the bottom right picture, and me having not yet decided to stick with the retractable arms as a result of mutation. Also, I believe this was when I first decided on Jake's last name.  The expressions are cute, though!











This is me messing around with Jake's vanishing point neck. His body and background have already been sucked in. OH NOES.













I drew this while listening to The Eels' "Fresh Feeling" after downloading some Scrubs Soundtrack songs













More vanishing point neck shenanigans.  It's a black hole!














Jake's life-long dream is to have a saxaphone duet with Bill Clinton.

Concept Art part 1

Zoidberg in DTTAH style, as I'll probably sneak him in amongst the mutants.











 

Jake, Smit and Henchman run from Madman's barrage of attacks. Mostly a lighting test.

Experimental DTTAH poster.  Another lighting test, and a stolen picture of an explosion.

Concept art for a possible DTTAH musical short, bridging the gap between DTTAH and DTTAH 2.

The DTTAH logo which will probably be used sparingly.

DTTAH-style version of Jinx, who'll probably also make a cameo amongst mutants. http://nosleepjinx.deviantart.com/
