Hello! Just want to take a minute to thank you for opening this up each week and keeping up with me, I really appreciate it.
Short update this week. I’ve got a couple model sheets queued up.
Walnut is essentially the second lead and was my next priority after Biscuit (which was posted here a few months ago). A german shepherd, Walnut’s primary feature for me to get around was his browbone. I like the idea of him having a perpetual furrowed look, though when it comes his lines in the short I wound up varying up his emotions a lot more past what that brow was capable of conveying. This is still his default state, but I’ll need to prep some facial model sheets before animation.
Second this week was Meatball.
Originally Meatball was in the yellow suit according to this lineup but I decided to swap his color with Flapjack (the rottweiler) for better contrast with his fur. I also skipped a back view since the additional pilots appear less in the short and I can fully account for none of them making any full turns!
Speaking of color, I am debating switching around the suit colors of the pilots again. Voltron doesn’t have a purple, I added that to account for the sixth tail pilot. But I gave Biscuit green because it’s my favorite color and I thought it was a good choice for her. Maybe instead I should match the colors more directly to the OG for the parody? Hmm!
I made a lil process/timelapse video of the piece I shared last week!
k bye
