FLYTOONS: Final Line-Up
FLYTOONS [formerly THE FLY] IS BACK WITH A VENGANCE, courtesy this brand-new, freshly minted artwork.
As previously stated by me on here many times, I had to alter the mix in order to avoid plagiarism: the look of the feature-concept was far too close to the characters in the 1958 FOX movie that inspired this work.
AND SO!!!!!!!
-----------DISCOUNTING the tiny fly-man, I only---previously------ had two characters: the scientist girl and the man-sized fly-man hybrid--clearly, another character would not go amiss, and here I am unveling this brand-new scientist dude for the first time---thus far he only exists as a sheet of rough sketches and this finished piece seen below..----------
THE FINISHED LINE-UP for FLYTOONS now stands as:
--------left to right:
HELLEYNE, the attractive female scientist and wife of full-size FLY-mutant Andre. The voice of reason within the ultra-grim proceedings.
NEW CHARACTER: older male scientist, an unfortunate hybrid between human boffin and laboratory spider: this creation is nothing like Spider-Man, though--------creating this being, I most definitely , knew I never wanted a hackneyed, overdone-everywhere-in-fiction balding, bespectacled, scientific boffin-genius, and this striking creation hopefully fits the bill. Unlike Andre the Fly-man, this particular insect-person can actually talk, which should help previous scripting problems.
TINY FLY-MAN: as yet in-named, the tiny dude seems happy at his mutated lot in life, and this character is fine for small-scale-close-up-
gags as way of diversion---watch this space.
ANDRE, the large-sized Fly-Man mutant: Andre is a striking creation to be sure, but really from now on he will be more of a Spock-like figure: that is, his mere alien presence will be more than enough to establish the bizarre premise of FLYTOONS at any given conjuncture---there was also that small problem of Andre being unable to talk---I was going to have him holding up signs wth dialog a-la Wile E Coyote, but that particular novelty would soon have run out; I also use the exact same approach for BABY BOOMER, so to avoid doing this sort of thing too much is a welcome relief..Andre is staying put, he is a striking proposition, though I say so myself.
MORE ON FLYTOONS later-----Great to be back doing these doodles again.
