It's a Voltron Kind of Night!!

So I'm taking a break from animating the next (and last) footage of the Ursafriends, doing laundry and packing for camp.  I am usually in the habit of putting something on the big screen TV in the bedroom when I am packing, and tonight is no exception.  This time, I was very much in the mood for Voltron, since, the Ursafriends are meant to be an anime-bear version of the Superfriends... but for some reason, I reached for my Land Team boxed set of Vehicle Voltron instead of the Blue Lion boxed set.  I took a snapshot of the screen and uploaded it to Facebook... and of course, doesn't everyone just love the Lions better than good old Dairugger XV a.k.a. Vehicle Voltron.  So I had to throw in that Voltron was meant to be a trilogy (and someday, maybe someday I will finish writing & illustrating that comic) so meanwhile.... here are a couple homemade "artifacts" that show the Voltron that could have been.  Electro-Light Speed God Albegas would have been the third (actually second) installment of the Voltron Trilogy, and you can bet anything that the guy who played Keith (and Jeff) would have taken the lead on this one.... here is a homemade video from Youtube footage of Albegas, redubbed as Voltron II.  Below that is a make believe screenshot of all three robots, as if they were side by side in the Fleet Of Doom movie.  Anyhow... enjoy :-)

  

Sneak Peek of SpookyBear 2013

For the last two months, I have been living on a steady diet of Superfriends, Arrow, and comics in general.  I must totally confess that getting involved with SpookyBear in my first off year was completely selfish on my part.  What cartoonist in their right mind wouldn't jump at the chance to channel the Justice League (with Wolverine thrown in) to a bearish audience??  So the interim result is this video which I am sure a lot of my friends have seen already, but for those who might be following me only on Blogger, please enjoy watching this.  If all goes according to plan, there will be even more to see behind the big bar at the Crown & Anchor at the Saturday night costume party at SpookyBear Weekend itself.  I am very happy with the results of this, and am looking forward to making more animation!  Cheers!!

 

This video can also be seen on the following pages:  Hairyer Parts,  Bears & Hunters - Online Express Edition, and of course, the SpookyBear Weekend page.  As of the time I'm writing this, it was uploaded 5 days ago, and already has 399 views!!  The first showing was last Saturday at the Ursamen member's only pig roast... it was a real crowd pleaser!!
