Description LINK TO DOCTOR DANDY --> [link]

This is the infamous, rather dark running gag in the story of Doctor Dandy only put in a more serious light. Dandy's fear is "Them", the children that try to drag him to Hell as vengeance for him taking their lives.

The vengeful children are simply called "Them" or "They" by Dandy and they come out to snag him whenever he is all alone with nobody around him to protect his terrified ass. He usually screams for his dog Max to protect him whenever he's being dragged away and he makes it out in the end of most attempts because the rage-driven children could not go anywhere near Max for the dog is clean-hearted. As strange as that sounds, that Dandy entrusts his life to his dog, it is totally true.

Its a little weird how They show up because their entrance is usually through a portal to Hell. Like, in this scene, the wooden floorboards in Dandy's home melt away and break into a chasm of fire and They come out to nab their defenseless victim.

Dandy has no idea what the hell They want with him because he figures that he is doing a work of Heaven ending the lives of depressed kids. He calls Them "confused", "spoiled", "ungrateful", and "in the way". He refuses to give up his job because he wants to "save" all children. He says its his destiny. Stubborn jackass.

When I animate this scene, I want it to kind of look like a mural in motion.

Done with ink and colored pencils.

I'm wondering, what or who inspired you to draw in this style?

I started off, when I was a child, admiring the stylization of Burton's films. ^^ Also went through an intense anime/manga phase. The Burton/manga stuff still shows today, but I have gotten more attracted to the art of Satoshi Kon, Cats Don't Dance, Jill Thompson, all of that stuff.
So just Burton with a side of anime could be a generalization for this style, I guess. I dunno. Anything with a tiny spiral in it is already a Tim Burton work, sooo... yeah. XD

I am WAAAYYY too used to traditional. XDD BUT.... if I ever DARE attempt drawing a full piece digitally... you would cry. And wail. And SOB because I suck that much at digital. x__X

And indeed, it would stop him. And he knows that too, which is why he refuses to stop. They are only his downfalls, trying to bring him down and keep him from saving the poor children o' the world. He doesn't see them as a warning but more of a nuisance. ^^

CountANDRA In reply to thewee24 [2010-08-05 06:19:15 +0000 UTC]

I think it took me about 30 minutes to draw and a billion years to color in (or about an hour and thirty minutes to color, if you want the definite detail). ^^

the fearful dandy Dandy seems closer to a creepy dr. Seuss character, and here reminds me of that silent emo kid Who from "Horton hears a Who".
excellent rendering of colors, by the way

Do you draw everything in pencil before you draw with ink? (It would seem you kill a lot of pens XD)
