Doggy NOT Eat Doggy Catty World 2...Fweeeeeeeeduuuuuuuuumb!

Hello there my wonderful Peeplings! It is way once again bringing forth what once was old, spiced up with something (slightly) new.

What on earth am I talking about? Well here I am to elaborate further...

Anyone remember this fan requested posting from last year? From the person I've referred to as Annony to create art work of his/her Cat & Dog and do it in any style I wanted? What I never mentioned from that posting was that Annony wanted me to make it kid friendly because s/he also wanted the image as a gift to give to his/her Niece & Nephew. Is that a problem? Of course not, no problem at all and I'm more than happy how that very image turned out. Having said that however, I'll be lying if I said it didn't completely scupper what I had originally planned to do. So if that idea still lodged into my mind months later, I decided to re-visit it good ol' fashioned Red Eye style...
And viola! Here is ze result! Because Annony is a huge fan of Judge Dredd and Tank Girl I had always originally intended to go with the dystopian type theme and now that I have I can sleep peacefully at night! So what does Annony think of this? Well, let's just haven't shown it to him/her yet...

Well, that's all for now folks and until next time...

See ya later Navigators! :D

More Tests! Jonathan, Cleo &...Eeeeek! Where's The Darstadly Pubert Head?!

Hello Peeps! It is I once again...With more GANTO animation tests YAY! And for once it actually features all 3 of the main characters!


Jonathan, Cleo and Pubert at their finest! Err or Jonathan, Cleo and headless Pubert at their finest more like. So what gives? Where on earth is that dastardly Pubert's butt-ugly head?!
Yeeeeeek! Quite creepy isn't it? Fear not folks for I, De Red Eye, has a very good explanation for this. Due to the fact Pubert talks during this shot, I thought it was best to animate his talking head separately and then edit it all together when it all comes to the final edit. Not so scary now is it? 

Sorry for the short update but honestly what else is there to talk about? The tests pretty much speak for themselves yes? Stay tuned for either more tests or illustration works in future mm'kay?

Well, that's all for now folks and until next time...

See ya later Navigators! :D

Woot! Proper GANTO Animation Tests At Long Last!

Bonjour my darling Peeps! It is I once again with actual GANTO animation tests done properly at long last!

Sorry it's taken so long but at least you folks can finally see how the GANTO project is doing so far.
Have to say I'm actually kind of impress how I'm doing so far, so worried that the tests might not work out how I'd like but wow! It's actually working out better than I anticipated! Granted it still needs some tweaking here and there but for now I'm just glad to see my hard work and passion haven't gone to waste after all.

Just for the record I have actually done so much more than this but due to time I've decided to just upload these for the time being and save the rest for future updates. After all where is the fun in the tease if I showed all of them at once eh?

Expect more GANTO teaser animation tests in the not too distant future. But for the time being I've now got to turn the above B&W animation tests into these...

It will take a while so please do wish me the best! Also you may notice Jonathan's colours are slightly different from his original concept art here...
And believe me when I say there is a very good reason for this. Because the original coloured code sheet for Jonathan has now sadly gone missing, thus I had to try and re-discover the colour codes I used original. However, in doing so I discovered I actually liked the newer coloured codes better, hence why I decided to just stick to the new coloured code and quickly jotted down list for the codes future reference. Not to worry me' hearties, for I will make absolute sure not to lose the new colour codes this time.

Well, that's all for now folks and until next time...

See ya later Navigators! :D

A Bitter Start To 2016: A Sadly Fairwell Ode To Bowie & Rickman

Happy BELATED New Year Peeples! It is I once again with an incredibly sad first blog post of 2016 actually.

Unless you folks have been living under rock thus far, you should have by now have heard sad news that both David Bowie and Alan Rickman have died within the same week. Talk about a sucky start to 2016! It was already bad enough losing David Bowie but to lose Alan Rickman a few days later WHY?! Needless to say I was very saddened. Honestly there really isn't anything I could say which haven't been said by so many others already. So instead I decided to pay tribute to the wonderful legends in the only way I know how, De Red Eye style!

Inspired by the famous William Blake painting Jacob's Ladder, I decided create something similar...
And viola! Here's the result in all it's glory! Honestly, both Bowie's and Rickman's legacies are just so amazing I could just picture them deciding together to be remembered for each and everyone of their iconic moments because why the bloody hell not?

I may re-visit this image later in future because to be honest I'm not fully satisfied with how the colours have turned out but for now I hope I've done them proud.

And before I bring this latest update to a close, I'll just finish it off by posting David Bowie's Magic Dance from one of my favourite films of all time Labyrinth...

And Pretty Woman from Sweeney Todd too (since I accidentally left Judge Turpin OOPS! Another incredibly awesome Alan Rickman performance)...

All in R.I.P. Bowie & Rickman, and thank you both so much for just being...Well, awesome iconic legends!

Well, that's all for now folks and until next time...

See ya later Navigators! :D
