Happy new year to all. Todays production post is a still from my color script. Before the end of 2021 I was working on putting together a color script for the film. It took a few weeks but I finally finished it and have started coloring scenes. The image below is not a final color, some of it is subject to change but the final look will pretty much look like so.

Hello! it’ss been a minute but Im still chipping away! This blog post is a color study on the opening scene. I have drawn this background many many time’s but I have yet to find the right one. I recently started working on it again, this time around Im liking what I have, it feel’s stronger and more fitting then the previous ones.
This scene will have a day time and night time, so I been playing around with colors. The blue and black skies will remain but Im still not sure on the layout.

Todays FRANK update are some color studies for the big crying scene. I have been working on coloring some scenes hoping to find FRANKs visual style. Color is super important and from the beginning I had some sure ideas of what colors I was going to use. Over the last few months I have been putting together mock color scenes trying to find the films final look. Im very happy to say as the days go by i am more and more confident in what the film will look like. This crying scene is one fo the longest in the film, over 100 frames to color! Send me your good vibes!
For this scene I want to experiment with the BG, FRANK is hurting and so I want to remove him from his location and have him feel as though he is in limbo. So i been playing around with designs and colors. There is still much left to be done but im enjoying the process every day!

below are some really early production sketches. maybe from 2017-18, pre production for sure. i used animation paper for sketching because i enjoy the over size paper and i just have tons of it from my art school days. so rather then they collect dust i use them.
the images below are mostly thumbnail to a 1/4 the page. i was trying to find the right balance for franks apartment, what kind of plants he would have and how many, he also has art on his walls so i had fun coming up with those

todays update is a pose sheet. these are some of the keys for the scene, i have been working on this for more then 1 month now. im really happy with the out come but there is still much todo before it is ready for color.
although im not active, i am devoted to my art and usually do a good job at putting time into it daily. some days are better then others. somedays i end up redoing the entire scene, however it is all for the best. i trust the process and dont want to rush because of FOMO. It will be ready soon but not till its done.
