In Production [8]
IN THIS OUTING we see the final design 'approval' for the character poses of my central BOOMER strip character: the main cool cat-character JET BLANC.
JET is a sort of hybrid of Felix, Korky the Cat and especially PUSS out of Puss and Boots, a top-notch strip by comics legend John Geering, in the days before the not-in-the-same-League BANANAMAN--by the exact same artist------- which contributed towards the decline in the once-mighty UK comics scene [in my view].
This character here is my 'sort of' equivalent of what Mickey Mouse means to the Disney Corporation, or what Bugs Bunny represents to the Warner Bros Animation unit: a MASCOT for all my cartoon endeavors---unlike Disney or WB, it's just ME doing absolutely everything creatively, and not a whole team of people.
Say what you like about Jet, he is instantly-recognizable, and that is exactly what I set out to achieve on this one.
ABOUT THIS ARTWORK:
--------THE USE OF digital color as illustrated here is the final approved choice of technique and is much more 'modern' compared to the very early, inked-in-only, wholly-matte-effect purely ink drawings, [A comparison on the results of today versus the early days can be seen below] .
Here I am reprising a very early strip 'done more Modern'----------again!
Have a great Festive Festoonery, even those Bad-Eggie- like Dudes out there in cyberland everywhere.
