Tonight and all weekend: Dave Sim/CEREBUS TV 7 January 2011

EPISODE 44: A "behind the scenes" look at the January issue of glamourpuss, No.17 -- "The Wit & Wisdom of JFK" (hey, I had to come up with SOMETHING with gp up on charges as an accessory to cocaine trafficking) and my speculations on what Alex Raymond and Stan Drake might have been discussing on the fatal day of 6 September 1956.
Bonus! It all starts with a Cerebus head sketch request from Jesse Herndon in Massachussetts and ends up with the C-Minus Kid "rocking out" to the 'Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' theme song. Only on CEREBUS TV.

week of 7 January to 14 January. premiere showing 7 January at 10 pm ET

What Pigt Destruction!? What Rigging Wizardry!?

Animation progress by Krysta Swales.

I, Oliver Simonsen, did a rough render and edit. Will get more finesse and get lighting on it, too:) Below is how it originally appeared:

unlike the comic, we have the Wizard doing the narration, speaking of: that's the rigging progress on him below (and no the actor, Stephen Mendel is not actually English -though Richard Bazley, who was superving animator on "The Iron Giant" among others and English thought he was -a real testament to his talent)

What Tavern Conversation!?

Animation progress of one of the Brothers by Manas Mishra.

Voice by Yuell Newsome.

Model by Robert Miramontes

Rig by "Magic'n'MythStudio"! email:magicnmythstudio@gmail.com

The Brothers are from Cerebus issue #1, though there we're not privy to what is discussed exactly in this scene. Nor are the Brothers given any personality in that legendary first issue, so unlike most of the Cerebus comics -issue #1 gives us lots of leeway to expand upon.

Of course, shortly before the above scene this scene below takes place.

Animation by Alex Pilalis.

Voice by Brian Lee Moore

Model by Uness Max

What Soldiers!?

soldier #2

Soldier #3

Both based on Soldier #1 modeled by Akanksha Poddar, in fact it is the same model. Brian Buchmann added variations so we'd have multiples, yet still remain uniform in appearance -variances such as adjustments to the face, neck arms, increased shoulder and helmet size. Below is the main scene the soldiers appear in.
