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.
