The eve of the end of the world?

I realise it's been a while since I've posted (nearly a week in fact), so I thought I'd give you a quick update of where I'm at. Episodes 1-4 are finished as first drafts (well episode 4's a second draft) as is episode 5. Episode 6 is half done, but I'm going to keep the last two back (mwu-ha-ha!)

Anyway, I'll post episode 3 for you, and shortly after that episode 4. Hopefully soon I'll have some images for you but at present James is still finishing his recycling project (http://chulk607.blogspot.com), but he assures me he's nearing completion on this. After this we can start doing some initial character sketching and post this up on the blog.

Additionally there's going to be a weekly post (either Sundays or Mondays, not sure yet) that is going to be a weekly news review written by Esteban. Look forward to it being as informative as an evening with Jade Goody.

Anyway, episode 3 can be found here:

Episode 2 : None of that "Clone Wars" shit either...

As promised, Episode 2 is now available online for your perusal. Feeback, etc to the usual address:

Anyway, the script can be found here:

Laters folks, "peace in the East" and other non-descript slogans.

Dem Bones

Slightlier later than scheduled, here's the last character description of Bones, Esteban's best friend, who can be seen in episode 1; which can be found here:

Here's his little potted bio:


"Name: Bones

Also known as: “Homes”, “Children’s Ward boy”.

Age: Around 25

Main Relationships: Esteban (best friend), Miguel (friend), Boris (friend)

Appearance:

Bones is so-called entirely due to his appearance. He stands about 6ft tall and is extremely lanky. He has a shaved head due to him trying to avoid a receding hairline, and deeply set blue eyes with pale skin.

He is not an ugly man as such, just very skinny, giving him an almost skeletal appearance. To contrast his appearance Bones can normally be seen wearing a huge dopey grin unless angry, when he can turn very suddenly.

Clothes:

Bones nearly always wears the same outfit: blue jeans and a black hoodie with the characters “:OD” written on it, which is a reference to his casual attitude towards drug taking. Bones will on occasion wear other shirts that relate to drug taking, the sort you would find at any novelty festival stand.

Personality:

Bones is a friendly, loyal chap who is best friends with Esteban. He is one of few people to truly stick by him, rather than use him for drugs or his house. He is also friends to some extent with Boris and Miguel, yet they see him as stupid and don’t truly consider him an equal.

Bones appears quite stupid, yet is smarter than he is given credit for, often able to hold his own in a battle of wits, but his general knowledge leaves plenty to be desired and he is easily led and can be gullible.

Whilst generally a very easy-going chap, Bones was previously in the army but was sent home in disgrace for smoking weed, and will recall these tales with glee. He is not to be crossed, as he does still have the training to take people down but it is rare he is that riled. He still lives with his parents, who believe he was kicked out of the army on legitimate medical grounds.

Bones does not have a job, and is currently collecting the dole. He hangs around with Esteban for the majority of the day and will often earn extra (although miserly) cash for carrying drugs for him.

Mannerisms:

Bones is very gangly and clumsy but spends most of his time stoned with blood-shot eyes and has a dopey laugh. His voice has a very broad west midlands accent, but when he is drunk or on pills he will tend to speed up his sentences and intersperse them with swearing and the word “buzzing”."


Sadly no pics of note, but don't worry, I'll post episode 2 online tomorrow for people to have a perusal of at their leisure.

Laters.
