"Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting" ("Kung Fu Panda")
Pencil Marks: Sure, it would have been easy to draw a picture of Erik fighting a giant panda. But then what? We've seen plenty of panda attacks in comics (Scott Kurtz's "PVP" reigns supreme) but is that all there is? And why does it happen in the first place? I was more curious on what happens next. Does said panda just walk because he's oh so cute and cuddly as he chews on his bamboo and looks at us with his round baby-like eyes? No. There must, nay NEEDS to be, an explanation. And what better way to get to the bottom of it than a police interrogation room ala "Law and Order" style.
Can you tell I'm just blowing smoke up your butt? Really, all I wanted to do was draw an interrogation scene.
And no, we didn't forget about the "Pre-Teen Dirty-gene Fighting Kangaroos". We apologize to all those fans - all four of you. - Jake
Ink Smudges: Well what can I say that Jake hasn't touched on? I think its another solid effort from the both of us, and unlike that Speed Racer picture, when Jake handed me a finished pencils and no joke, I instantly hit upon an idea. Granted since Jake and I are so similar in humor, I'm sure this was what he was leaning towards anyways.
I feel the inks didn't come out as well as I wanted them to, my usual inking pen went and disappeared which led me to use a fine tipped sharpie, which causes bleeds and thicker than normal lines. But thankfully I was able to fix most of my mistakes in the coloring process that came out better than I had hoped. Another solid week behind us. Next stop: The Incredible Hulk! - Tony
