Maggot Designs

Scott here,
Character designs for the Maggots.

First we have your every day candy making working maggot.
Second is your very loveable gender confused maggot... just as hard working.

Style Reference

Here's Lyna's photo ref for the show. Use this first one a lot. REMEMBER WE ARE IN A SWAMP. The characters should be standing knee deep in mud.

Layout Designs

Hey storyboard artists here are some more layout drawings. Use this as inspiration for your storyboard designs.


Kitchen
DockForest.

Factory.

Character Designs

If we don't put an out line on the characters then it will be easier for the builders to make them animation friendly and the animators won't have to worry about lines in the elbows and knees crossing over each other. Just an idea.

Newest Version Of Script

Hey, here is the most recent version of the script and an mp3 of me reading the script aloud the way I imagine it will be timed. I recommend reading the script a long with the recording so that the sound effects and stuff make sense. Hopefully this will give everyone a better Idea of where this thing is going.

NEW ROUGH SCRIPT

Animation Style

So heard that everyone agreed on doing a Jimmy Two Shoes style. I highly disagree with this idea. So therefore, here are some other possible style I choices I hope we could all explore. It's not too late in the game yet.

Samurai Jack:

Check out the creature designsThese are very easy to do in character creation. I can guarantee this because the character I'm currently doing for flash doesn't have lines around her. Just very simple shapes. There are also a great variety in colour. So amazing!

How about these epic backgrounds to go with our epic layout artists!




Sooo Good! Look at how awesome these are! No boundaries when it comes to colours. Although I do believe they use the warm vs. cold method. In any case, enjoy!

Character AND BG LIST



Here is an example of what a character line up might look like. While coming up with character's remember to think about how each character relates to one and other. Here I tried to make the Dad a square and the mom circular, their child's head becomes a square with rounded edges. Try to make each character unique in size and shape.

Andrea put together this list of characters and layouts need for the cartoon.

Script!!!!

Hey y'all. I know the script looks long right now, and that's because it is. We literally crammed any and every joke that was proposed into th script. Don't worry though, most of the writing is wasted describing visual gags that will be almost instantaneous when the cartoon actually plays, so we aren't as over our time limit as it may appear.

I didn't want to hold anything back on the rough, now we can cut and edit to make the funniest possible narrative with the most impact.

Also, i didn't type up a big portion of scene 7 because I am tired. But even with out it you get the gist.

Character Designers and BG artists start going on rough drawings based on the characters and backgrounds present in here. We are having a meeting on monday again at 12:30 where I will expect to be looking at art. The writers have been putting out, now it's your turn.

GOOGLE DOC OF SCRIPT
