Band Appreciation
Just realized I hadn't shared the new, finalized band designs with you all - Ben, JJ, Mozzie, and Sy.Here they are in their performance attire and their street clothes from a slightly earlier time.The animated GIFs are how we test that the phoneme mouth shapes laid out on the sheets are making sense.---------------Art here includes work by Keith Daily, Julian Hughes, Kasey Schiavone, Fable Sie...

YouTube Members will get ...
Ivy - Clothing Changes
A look at some of Ivy's outfits and minor design updates for Season 1.We drew the underlying underwear-only body shape (we call them 'mannequins') for the main cast designs this go-around to facilitate swapping their clothing out. Different scenes and episodes call for different apparel - something we didn't really have to deal with for the Pilot - so we've taken to a kind of p...

Color Scripting
The color script from Lackadaisy Ingenue, and some of the subsequent background paintings. Color scripting is a part of the production process in which the scene to scene color palette is decided. The purpose of a color script is to create an overarching picture of how colors shift and change and cohere and communicate in conjunction with the other story elements in a sequence of shots. It's a...
Mordecai Brutalized by Wild Kitten Horde
Some of you got a small dose of the kitten madness going on at the director's residence in the last Patron stream, but I figured I should share with everyone here. It's not every day the Cat Distribution System picks you and then glitches out repeatedly right over your head the way it has done to Fablethis year. Fable is fostering this little family (and their mom, Tibbs) until we can figu...
