Chuck, That is great, very nice solution. It is wonderful to see the concept drawings and development, through the stages, to the final image. Excellent final piece of art - the old light through the ears gag with a new twist - sweet! You must watch and retain alot of what is seen in classic animated cartoons.
Thanks, guys! Yeah, David, it's definitely a twist on a time-honored cliche from Hollywood's golden age —it just seemed to suit the subject matter the best. I tried to stack other bits of humor onto it, like the stretching of the ear and (like Christina pointed out) the attitudes of the characters. This stuff is fun to do.
Darcy, yes she does! I'm glad you noticed, because the name did come from you. Not for any particular reason though; it just sounded short and contemporary —and funny when paired with Aristotle. It's a great name.
The look on the baby's face is priceless!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the most excellent post!
Awesome illustration, Chuck! Great concept and sketches, too.
