It's Rush Loveable! (and friends I guess)

Recently Tim and I got together with a couple of mates from work (well, Dean and Tim go way back in making films to Perth nine years ago) to work on an idea for a TV series as a creative outlet. It's become quite semi-developed in the last weeks.



The series was an idea that Tim came up with when we were still in Hobart in 2007. Starting with a character he drew called Dash Dashing, a superhero kid with a checkered scarf and super speed.


And then we came up with a girl pal or Dash's equal, and called her Rush Loveable. This is one of the first pics I did of her.















Now, it is Dash Dashing and his three friends Black Mantis, Rush Loveable, and Tank Macho. All great characters and some fantastic stories to be written (we already have an ideas page full). But if it were left to me, it'd be all about Rush Loveable! I could seriously fill a book with pictures of her. See her super power is costume change by way of reciting consecutively 5 facts about a certain persona she wants to embody (and use the skills of). The posibilities are endless, hilarious and SO FUN!. I like making up the less thought of ones..



Rush gets a crush on a baseball player and learns everything about him and the sport, resulting in her calling up a baseball pitcher when she needs to attack and throw deathly fast balls.

The Songstress, where Rush becomes an opera singer and shatters glasses and does other sonic damage with her songs.




















Probably my weakest character idea, a devil costume. This is one of the obvious persona choices. Conjures fire, pyromaniac etc. Rather boring (for me anyway).

I love these two, 80's aerobics is pretty scary in itself. And Roller Derby Rush Loveable would have ot be my personal favourite. Might colour these up, and do some more costume powers later....

Spooky Doll Kids Storyboards

Here are the first 10 pages of Spooky Doll Kids, the "What's Eating Brownie?" story. I'll do up a couple of other stories soon, one I've written called "Unravelly" and maybe another that I have a general story idea for, that might be called something like "The Caterpillar Competition". But for now, here's revisiting the original story I did in 2004. The whole film can be watched at the end of the 10 pages. Just scroll right down. Enjoy!

Li'l Larikkins StoryBoard Cleanup

Here are some snippets of a sequence I cleaned up (roughed out by the lead). I had so much fun drawing Maddie (the little koala). Little animals are definately my favourite. It's not the full sequence since it was 17 pages all up, so I've tried to show a variations of shots.

Near the beginning, kids figuring out how to catch aliens.

Alien device doesn't work so well, Trev does his interpretation of what aliens look like.

which gets Maddie freaking out.

She tries to stop her kid friend Amy, but the kids all leave for their alien hunt.



After some deliberation, Maddie decides to follow the kids to protect them from impending alien harm.

A Monster goes window shopping

Window shopping is my thing
especially high ones of tall buildings
No one spots me when I wear my hat
I blend right in! How 'bout that?
since these people are so dumb
I will help myself to more than one
Yummy yum yum.




This drawing is another one courtersy of Tim, one of many crazy doodles in his work notebook.
