Work and Work.

Okay, Okay.

I still haven't put up the title sheet to The Underground Up. That's because I keep forgetting to make a one frame still of it. HOWEVER-

I've been tasked (I kinda tasked myself) to do an animation that represents how large record companies have been given the okay to own other record companies and how that has kind sprawled into this 4 way (soon to be 3 way) split of the music industry.

I decided to represent the businesses (both large and small) by one type of creature. The bigger bussinesses will be- well, bigger. And meaner. And more vicious. etc.

My first Sketch was a round blobby type creature that looked kind of monster-like.

Then I got the idea to have video monitors instead of faces since we are talking about media companies- (even though we really mean record companies)and the other drawings followed. Actually, before these sketches I made a few pages I really liked in a notebook at work.

What I will have to figure out is whether I want the screen to actually open up when they eat each other- or should I just make them shove the "food" into their screens and have the victims vaporize in an electric ZAP (which is cheating in a lot of ways)



Anyway. After the idea to do the screen face came up- I went on to develop this drawing a little more.

Note the notes to myself about making the screen shake and stuff. I don't know how I'm going to do that but I'm trying to challenge myself and do something interesting to look at.

That graphic for From The Underground Up IS on it's way. HONEST.
