I had a lot of fun with this page, thanks to Grandpa. Remember him? He was in Flight 6! I had a great time drawing him back then, and I’ve been wanting to introduce him within the Swoopiverse for a while. Of course, now it’s time to check in on our other characters, which we’ll be doing next week…. so I’ll have to hold off on drawing more Grandpa for a while longer.
By the way guys, did you see last week’s blog about the new video my brother made of me drawing a comic page? I’ll be playing with the menu at some point to include a Videos section, but for now, you can watch the latest here. Enjoy, and have a great weekend!
Hope you guys will enjoy my brother Dave’s latest video on the making of a Swoop comic. Once again, he makes me look like a natural… although he did insist on showing me white something out. When you guys are done here, be sure to check out his website. www.Duttonfilms.com Thanks, and enjoy!
I apologize for the absence of updates. I’m on vacation (a real one this time) in Greece for a week, and the past few weeks were especially busy as far as deadlines and last minute project tweaks. It’s actually not over yet and I’ve brought my laptop with me just to finish up some other things! But at least that makes it easier to tell you guys about the my brother Dave’s latest video creation. This time, all three Dutton brothers are involved. My youngest brother, Henry, provided the music. It’s one of his earliest beats (and you should watch some of his jam session videos on Dave’s Vimeo channel to see what else he can do - the man’s a beast).
This is Dave’s first animation done completely in After Effects, and it’s made up of stuff from my sketchbooks over the past four years. I’m pretty excited about what we could actually do if I created some work especially for this sort of animation. Some One Swoop Fell stuff specifically. And yes, that is a sly hint at something.
