Christmas + Normal Stuff

Back at it with posting christmas stuff. But I'm also taking time to post normal stuff too. 

Christmas is one of the most beloved holidays of all time, it's definitely the most popular with what people do to make entertainment.

There is probably over 1,000 christmas films out there and usually over 100 each film studio.

Looney Tunes has had a few christmas films, Bah Humbduck, Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol, etc.

Disney has a ton of christmas movies.

So why should I make a few films involving the christmas spirit instead of only Spirit Of Christmas?

Snow Land is going to be my first animated short that fits in with the winter season. 

I made a poster about a year ago, this was when I really started to doodle my official licensed characters.

I dreamt on making a music video on dancing polar bears in a igloo shaped polar bear dome. 

The way they dance is inspired by how Donald and Daisy dance in Mr. Duck Steps Out (1940) and Donald's Crime (1945)

While I was searching through images I wanted to paste on my previous post, I saw something like this and it completely caught me off guard.

It was this image and my goodness, this is the funniest character design I ever seen.

People say Claymation is uncomfortable but you can't feel too bad with Will Vinton's work. I have a huge influence on his claymation. He made The Noid who is an extremely appealing character and the strangely cute California Raisins. 

I watched this 2 minute segment and i was mind-blown I haven't watched a ton of animations like this and it takes me back watching the Tex Avery Cartoons.

Look at THIS frame. This is absolutely fantastic. It feels like smear animation but different.

This is kinda rare for a claymation artist to make this stuff cartoony. If you look at Rudolph or Nightmare Before Christmas, it looks really stunning but it doesn't have a ton of zany passion. 

And what makes claymation so fun and exciting to look at nowadays is the gorgeous looking backgrounds. I know 2D and especially 3D animation have beautiful backgrounds but claymation doesn't give enough credit. 

I almost think that Will Vinton's art style captured how I can draw since these can get stuck in my mind. 

And while on the subject on what christmas cartoons I can make, I made a cute little girl with a soft, warm polar bear around her side.

I want this to be like one of those heartwarming stories like when the girl is out in the cold and has nothing with her but her friend brings her the love and care to give. 

I made a simple model sheet for the girl. I have no suggestions to what her name is yet.

I wanted to name the polar bear Bud Frost. Named after Buddy The Elf and Jack Frost.

To end things off with christmas stuff is my creations, Dan Schemidle and Roger Rick looking reserved as ever, pasted their faces and called it a day only for them to be featured on an Artmania poster.

This is my collection. This is where I put my toys and dvds at. Strange I have a bunch of funko pops since I don't love em. 

After December 24th, things will look different in my room especially my closet.

Minimalism? Bah humbug on that!

I gotta have some fun. Also when bugs try to investigate my room, they will be shocked on the cool stuff I had in the course of 15 years.

Now the books n dvds!

And apparently cards.

They have all the kids as cards but not The Beast. I don't know if I lost it or they didn't make one but what a highlight to the movie. 

They made a fun looking funko pop of him.

In my messy desk filled with drawings is more (good) junk.

I made more cards in the course of my spare time drawing in my desk. I also saw a card of myself when I was like 2 years old.

To end things off, have a holly jolly comic I did not make back in December but when I was still sick of 11th grade and mostly all of my classes were filled with drooling kids and fluff.

See ya next time for what's coming up. Bye-a 👋
