So, after seeing Chef Carnavon, you probably think that I'm a sicko.
Well, maybe not. But I can imagine some horrible things in any case. This fellow has been rolling around for a good 5 years, a design for my dead KLANG project.
KLANG was supposed to be an animated flash series, that I was attempting to develop myself. It took place in the World of Agyris, and would bridge the gap between the encyclopedia site, and the epic stories that I wanted to tell.
Truth of the matter is that animation is hard, and my ambitions were not quite powerful enough to keep me going. After 6 months of drooping interest, I gave it up and spent 45 days playing World of Warcraft.
Shortly after, I wrote and created Caught Creatures, our little monster haiku book. It basically took me about 60 days to write, illustrate, and format the thing. It was difficult, but not to the degree that animation was.
It was a great feeling to be able to finish something, after feeling like I was failing for months and months.
Steam Crow was born, and I was energized by having some success.
I've moved on from Agyris, and now am telling the same kinds of stories that I always wanted to tell. Sometimes they're dark and gritty. And also cartoony.
