Three-Eyed Larry Update #1: Poses…

Sat down with a sketchpad and a Staedtler marker and drew some poses for our hapless hero:

Three-eyed Larry poses

So, what’s next? Well, when I did How Space Wars Begin, I took poses of Larry and put them on one layer of the animatic reel. Then I sketched some mouth shapes, put them on a separate layer of the reel, and synced them up to the dialog track. Finally I went through both synced layers, noted the mouth and pose combinations, and drew the pencil roughs. Hard to explain in a way that makes sense — after this first short is released, I’ll post the animatics reel for all to see.

Background: These are the next installments of a series of shorts that started with How Space Wars Begin, using the little three-eyed alien (otherwise known as Three-Eyed Larry) as the star (I hesitiate to use the word “hero”). There are currently two shorts in pre-production, with script ideas for at least three others floating around.
