Red and Blue Pencils?
มุมมอง 7407 ปีที่แล้ว
This last week I was asked why I sketch with both red and blue pencils. Honestly, the color itself doesn't really matter... It's more of a value thing. Usually I put down my rough sketch in a lighter color (in this case red) first, and then tie the drawing down with a darker one (blue.) Depending on what I'm doing I may use more than three colors. Hope this helps!

This was a test I directed for a proposed tv show called "Khan Kluay." It was made over the course of about 3 weeks entirely in Maya. The trailer tested well, and the studio decided to turn the concept into a feature film. The film, also called "Khan Kluay" eventually went on to become Thailand's first 3D animated feature film. I did all the voices, with the exception of baby Khan Kluay... who ...

    This ls really blowing up with the All Tomorrows popularity and I cannot blame them, As this mantelope can actually be a next step in the evolution that the Mantelope want as they cannot change the world around them despite having big brains but can no longer remember everything from the wars, enslavement and the depressive Era that happened due to dumbing themselves to survive. Which in a way is a good thing as this Mantelope can actually do positive things by having hands unlike his ancestors.

    To understand some recent comments: a notorious YT channel, Alt Shift X, published a video about an obscure novel titled "All Tomorrows", by C.M. Kosemen. It's an amply illustrated sci-fi novel about evolution of humanity in the deep future. In that story, because of evil alien invaders named "Qu", humanity differentiated in lots of grotesque, animal-like species. One of those is the "Mantelope", with the same name of the character of this cartoon.

      It's a long story. Dave Thomas and I were busy on a TV series at the time and were forced to pitch a new show idea. To avoid getting involved in another production we tried coming up with the worst idea possible. We thought that if the villain looked like Hitler and was trying to kill the main character with a giant gun the idea would be rejected by Cartoon Network. They loved the idea... and we got to make this short.
