HELLO ALL!

Tall Tails is finally available for public viewing! Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this film possible, it was a total blast!

[talltailsfilm]

Sorry for the utter lack of posts, but I submitted my film to uni last week! Have the poster that goes along with it.

If you’re not already aware, if you’re in Melbourne I do hope you can come along to our graduate screening! Find out more here.

More old art! Did you know, Tall Tails was originally going to be a film with series of shorter scenarios? It was then knocked down to one expanded scenario for various reasons.

Here are some of the ones that didn’t make it, all based on real cat stories from friends!

I don’t have any gifs to show, but have some old art instead!

Introducing Ash, Poppy’s owner! She’s a total slob at home so she’s dressed appropriately. The colour scheme I’m going for is the one on the bottom right. Can’t go past my favourite colour haha

Slightly earlier design of Poppy, before she had her swirled tail (or name, really!) Tail concept kudos to my friend hazya :)

One more to end uploads for today! Poppy in her transformed monster form. She’s a little chubbier like this.

A spread of cats I did a while ago when I was still working out Poppy’s look. Pity I can’t have all of them, they’re really cute...

Finally I have something I’m happy to christen the blog with! Introducing Poppy, the main character.
