Fanboy and Chum Chum

Look who stopped by the Fanboy headquarters this morning. It’s Niki Yang, who went over some of her rough storyboards with Mr Robles, who appears cautiously amused.

If this posed picture of Eric Robles’s desktop tells us anything, it’s that the character of Kyle will bear a striking similarity to that of Lucrezia Borgia.

Whenever Eric Robles isn’t doing what he likes best (sitting in a meeting), he’s drawing. Draw, Eric, draw.

Yeah it’s been a minute. But I’m still alive! Eric here and things have been pretty busy here in the world of animation since Fanboy. I’ve been helping the folks over at Nick with a new Pre School show called Ni Hao Kai Lan and it’s so cute it makes my teeth hurt. Ouch! I’ve also been busy with some development at Disney and Saban so my time for blogging for Fanboy has been limited. But check out these very first roughs of Fanboy and Chum Chum boyz and girlz. Do GirlZ even check this stuff out?

ToonZ to you all!

Wow! Wow! WOW! I could not ask for a better turn out for Fanboy. Thank you all who showed up last night to support the screening of Fanboy. It really was an amazing crowd of friends. For those who were unable to make it you were missed. There was great energy in the room and the night started off strong with the funny Infinite Goliath followed by Garlic boy and Larry Huber’s Bitboy. It was the night of “The Boys” and it was a blast. The very brave Eric Homan is always great as he handles the crowds and intros the films. (Better you than me buddy) Thanks everyone for the great encouraging comments and thank you Fred for allowing me to have my very own piece of animation that I can share with friends and loved ones for the rest of my life.

CG and 2D Fanboy Backround
Hello all!
Well with the Fanboy short coming to a close I wanted to thank all of my friends for all the hard work that they have all put into Fanboy. Two of the many talents on my team are Chad Woods and Caesar Martinez. Chad, Caesar and I met on Nickelodeon’s “The X’s” and I was blown away by the designs that Caesar was doing and colors that Chad was doing. So, when I was given the green light for my short I asked these two if they would bless me with their skills to make my short look great. Chad, Caesar and I began to experiment with a flat 2D background design look with CG characters and to my surprise it worked. The thinking is that it should look like a TV set with fake backgrounds and it was also great because it didn’t kill [Read more…]
