Welcome to Eltingville: Josh/Axel Skullpunisher D&D Designs
Added 2024-07-30 00:35:22 +0000 UTCContinuing with some of the original production art from the Welcome to Eltingville pilot.
Up top is the clean up version of "Axel Skullpunisher", Josh's D&D character (by Eric Keyes, over my sketch). Next up is an early rough for Axel/Josh, which I cleaned up for the sketch that was posted previously. The last image is a final prop drawing of Axel's axe. All the props had to be drawn.
The props were the weirdest part of the design job for me. Backgrounds were the hardest, characters the most fun, props usually the most unexciting and sometimes plain dull. Drawing towels? Perfume bottles? It could be fun -- designing the props for the Star Trek sequence was kind of cool. But...pillows? Chairs? I stunk at chairs. Thanks goodness for clean up artists.
The thing was, I shouldn't have been designing props, and probably not backgrounds. It was time-consuming and stressful. I wasn't paid more for doing the work. I just couldn't let go of controlling everything because I knew what I wanted, even if I couldn't draw it all that well (the backgrounds). Anyway, what's done is done.
More WTE art and other stuff soon.
