“BE KIND, MY NEIGHBOR”- ANIMATED PROMO TRAILER
FEAT. KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD & TEAM EGG
“AN LGBT PSYCHEDELIC 70s FOLK HORROR, a WHIRLWIND ROMANCE! Murder! Love! Cults! PUPPETS!!”
HOWDY FOLKS- in celebration of my comic debut, Team Egg and I put together this crazy lil’ trailer for Be Kind, My Neighbor- coming out on AUGUST 10th! There’s still time to preorder & get some exclusive goodies!
Yes, I'm obsessed with the 1978 Let Every Pansy Bloom pride parade banner, why do you ask? :-) (I wish I could find somewhere that makes this banner, but alas, perhaps I will have to make 1 myself)
Why so nervous, Glenn? I'm sure it's gonna be fine, better re-read Be Kind My Neighbor again tho to be sure...
I've sculpted several of @yugsly 's characters before and one thing that's really cool about their style is that the design is extremely consistent and actually works in 3D despite being so heavily stylized
Commissioner pretty much did the entire job for me by designing the pose and the base and everything x) i barely had any work to do! It's always fun to paint characters with a small color palette and big fat bold lines, really makes everything POP. Super happy with the boi
HEY you should check out be kind my neighbor by @yugsly it's a really great comic if you like puppets and freaky stuff. which i evidently do. i modeled mr. neighbor a few days ago just for the hell of it, then decided why not actually do something with him? so i made one of my favorite scenes ^u^
making all the materials and trying to capture the sort of tactility of the comic itself was an absolute delight, as was animating all of lady trudy's wacky limbs. this is my first real attempt to animate a complex scene like this with multiple characters (and an abundance of arms)—it was definitely tricky, but i think it turned out pretty okay in the end! =D
Tehehe come closer, I promise your boat won't crash into any rocks or anything~ <3
I wanted his tail to look like a fishing/fly fishing lure!!! Hence the feather fins and segmented look :-] (The super long hair was purely self endulgent because I like drawing lots of hair :-P hey, it's a classic mermaid look!)
