Rocket Worm!

Earthworm Jim Official Facebook Page

There is now an Earthworm Jim official Facebook page!

Doug TenNapel is posting Earthworm Jim official art and concepts. Not only that though! With the added bonus of his and his peers memories and creative insights behind each image.

There is a concept and official art gallery here on Rocket Worm. We’ve only guessed at some of the reasoning behind stuff, so Doug is providing information into the creative development process behind the games and TV show etc., that fans have never really had the chance to know about before.

It’s pretty interesting to hear about the underlying thoughts and processes that went into all those things. That’s pretty awesome…so get over there if you are on Facebook and join in. Continue reading →

Rocket Worm Re-design – Work in Progress 1

It’s been a long time since I did something like this. It’s been nearly five years since I re-designed Rocket Worm, and it could do with a new lick of paint since it’s Earthworm Jim’s 20th anniversary next year…the current look of the site is really bugging me. I wanted to do this for the longest time and kept talking myself out of it. This isn’t a priority, but I don’t know if I will get another chance to do it if I keep putting it off.

I’m currently working on colouring the graphic novel of Doug TenNapel’s Nnewts. We had to put the web comic on hiatus, and he’s made it into a graphic novel.
At the beginning of this year, we wrapped up a new colour version of his Graphic Novel Tommysaurus Rex, which is coming out later this summer by Scholastic.

Anyhow after a lot of procrastinating, I started sketching it out…I want to get most of the main characters on it. Not sure at this point how it will turn out…so I’m documenting the progress. Yes it is a little insane. I certainly feel insane doing it, but I’ve started now so it’s too late. I’m not as good as Doug at drawing his characters (obviously!) but I have fun drawing them all the same.

These are sketches which will be coloured and painted…before I do that, they will be arranged into a layout. I’m just sketching them out and getting the tones down on them at this point.

Peter Puppy (turning into a monster), Earthworm Jim, a cow, Psy-Crow, Princess What’s Her Name and Evil The Cat. About 10 or more to go. Continue reading →

Armikrog game being developed

Doug TenNapel, Mike Dietz, Ed Schofield (Pencil Test Studios) and several other very awesome people are hard at work developing a new stop-motion point and click adventure game called Armikrog.

They are using high tech materials such as wood, carboard, clay…glue. Probably sticky tape.
Doug says that a lot of cardboard boxes are involved!

Keep up to date and stuff at their Facebook page.
