Backgrounds

As we approach completion of "13th of Friday!" (which should be Halloween of this year), I've finally had the time to touch up the backgrounds. Originally, I really wanted painted bg's, and plan to have them down the line, but for now have had to settle with my own attempt at cintiq brushwork done on top of my original flash backgrounds. Not the level of painting I'd like, but certainly better than before, and the characters contrast and pop off of them much better than before.





And, a few new sketches for fans since the last post.

Happy Friday the 13th!

In celebration of today, you can go to the main site and click on the above image to see a sneak preview of SCOD's opening title sequence!

Also, I realized I've gotten behind on showing you the fan doodles I've given away. This first one is one of my favorites.

New Stickers (and other stuff)

New stickers have been ordered! Check them out!







The first is SCOD's first red, black, and white sticker and it looks great! We are happy about this episode specific, deluxe sticker. We ran out of our initial run of 750 stickers for Gary, Derek, and Mell. So, we decided to order a new ones for each character showing off their updated designs and also the long awaited Sanchez sticker! And last but not least, a large size sticker, also the first of it's kind for SCOD, measuring 4.25 x 5.5 inches, shows our group of male counselors as you see them on the site. We will continue to mail out the character specific stickers to our fans, and may throw in the special edition "13th of Friday!" stickers and/or the large size B&W as a bonus. Expect more stickers in the future, with the ability to purchase packs of stickers or individually.

Also, we are in the middle of our final recording session and hope to be back to the drawing board by the end of the week. The recording quality sounds better than ever! We also have a new Sanchez actor. More details on that coming soon. And, last but not least, we have gotten sample clips from our sound team of what our scary, rock music will sound like for the final. Listen to a sample!

2008 Update

Greetings SCOD fans! There's a LOT to catch up on since the last post. First let's start with these three sketches:





Each person that registers as a SCOD fan gets free stickers and a sketch. These are the first three for the year!

Serious production of "The 13th of Friday!" is underway! Finally! Though our team is not fully assembled, most of it is, and momentum is building! Here are stills from what we're working on now:




After many stalls and setbacks last year, 2008 is making up for it quickly! Right now we have well over two minutes of animation completed of an estimated five. Presently we will reach the half-way mark sometime next week. Hopes are high that we could get close to completion in February. We'll see... I'm anxious to show clips but am holding back. I want to document the production without ruining the final piece (somehow). Always hate it when they show too much in the previews. If you are an animation enthusiast, classic horror enthusiast -or both, sign up as a fan through the site and you'll get to see sneak peaks of the animation as we update the work reel with new scenes, backgrounds, and animation!
