Munch Chunky 1a

So I’m finally going to tell this story. Not in the way I had wanted to a few months back (which was animated) but the way I had originally conceived the project in 2001, as a comic book.

I learned a lot about storytelling and pacing when I decided to make Munch Chunky into an animated series. I could get away with things that would fall apart in a comic book scenario. Because of that, I had to change the beginning of the story and the way it plays out for the comic.

Another of my problems was my limitations in animating. I only know how to animate so many things, and I often hit walls I couldn't get around. In comic book form I hit a lot less walls with the images being fixed. It’s hard to explain, but what it came down to in the end wasn’t the expense of animation, but the time.
I’m able to commit the same amount of time to the comic form as the animated form, but i yield more story from it,
for my effort.

and ultimately I just really want to tell my stories, and I can’t let the process of building the body of that work be the part that breaks down the ability for the story to be told consistently and fluidly.

awesome! i think it's going to be a fun series, once it really gets going. C:

That was a great! A brand new story from the genius mind of Solomon Mars!

It sucks that you couldnt animate this like you had wanted but I feel that the comic form is still a fantastic way to tell the story. The great storytelling and conveyance you display in Goblyn is just as evident in this.

And I'm diggin the animal characters. Heck, I love that pig.

~XxSMARSxX Mar 1, 2012 Professional Filmographer

oh my! haha

yah, honestly my hope is to later down the line take the comic and just use it as an animatic for the animated series.

you like the pig? haha yah, she took the longest to develop.
she's a bit deeper than the other two main characters.

=Calicard Mar 7, 2012 Hobbyist

That's a great idea.

Coolio. I love pigs.
