Spanish book

I'll be working on a spanish-hungarian language book this summer. These are the main characters who I designed for the book.

I'm working on the spot of the 2010 Cartoon Forum that will be placed in Sopron this year. The short spot will be done with several techniques including paper cut-like and 3 dimensional computer animation. 4 of us work on the film, I only use anime studio pro this time. This gorilla is one of the designs I did today for it. I also started animating it, I'll post up the finished animation in a few weeks, I hope.

Cheers!

Shitty Conan sketch

I saw Conan the barbarian a couple of weeks ago, and drew this into my sketchbook. I can't say I'm pretty good at drawing muscular dudes, but I'll get better.

storyboard reject

There was an inner school contest to do a spot for a hungarian cinema. of course my idea was rejected but I thought it could still be wort uploading here, on my blog.

These were the characters. I designed the first kid for another storyboard, which was done by my man Márk. The original idea was that I will only do some design work but I couldn't help myself, not creating my own story for this competition.

Some early and pretty raw designs for Márk1s storyboards.

And the final storyboard that I did. It's about a couple who go to the theatre but notice that there is no easy way to get to their seats. So they start climbing up across the audience antill they fight their way up. Unfortunately when they arrive a big guy sits right in front of them. But luckyly he's so damn big that the film starts to run on his back (that's where the cinemas logo would appear).

R.I.P. Harvey Pekar

I think I was the last who heard the bad news. Harvey Pekar respected and beloved author of the autobio comic anthology "American Splendor" died at 70. He was one of my favorite underground comic writers.
This fast doodle is my goodbye to the master.

Pedophile self portrait for Jacko's death anniversary

Sorry, that wasn't very nice of me, actually it's made for a self portrait exhibition we are putting together with some friends of mine.

Exhibition in Lyon

Some of us Hungarian comic artist had been exhibited in Lyon. Although I was in Annecy which is pretty close to Lyon, I didn't manage to get to the opening. Here's a vid interview about the stuff, although I couldn't understand it since I don't speak french at all. Excusez-moi for that:)

Character design

I made this montage of how the characters evolved in my head from the first versions to the last ones. The early ideas look more like comic figures and illustrations rather than concepts for actual character designs. KLICK on the image to see the full pic!

And this is a character sheet. Not perfect but I didn't have time to do final versions before starting the movie.

Storyboards for the movie I did

This is the actual storyboard I did for my film (previous post) I did it with pencil but I did some correction with my tablet.

Take care!

Brainy cartoon

I didn't want to post this toon i did because it's in Hungarian and I just can't attach subtitles to it, but what the hell, i'll post it anyway!
I did this cartoon in school. The task was to make an animation based on sound that we collected. Most of us (like me) used radioplays as a base, and animate on that. So many of you who are not Hungarians, will not get what the shit's actually happening, which is fine, because this cartoon doesn't make any sense. The main story is about this guy who goes to the doctor because he has problems with his brain. The doc examines him by asking if he eats the soup with a fork or a spoon. When he gives good answers the doc tells him that he has a super good workin' brains. It's hard to give back the hungarian puns N' stuff. I animated with flash but I totally used it as a blank piece of paper. I drew with my wacom tablet. The backgrounds were done by my lovely girlfriend. ENJOY!

Untitled shitte

I've been pretty cruel to this blog lately. I'll try to avoid continuing that by posting up some stuff.
One thing is that I just started plotting a 100 page long comic based on my Noname character (the fox). It's gonna be a pretty big project since I don't have that much time because of school, work and other stuff. Anyways I'm planning to be finishing it by the end of 2012. So it might be finished before the end of the world (just kiddin'). Until than I did this raw sketch of Noname based on a Frazetta Sci-fi character. Rest in peace man!
