I’ve been thinking about creating a cartoonish series using blender for quite a while now - mainly to get my head off of some things. I have no storyboard and no real idea what the plot of the cartoon will be all about. Since i think it will deal with every day muslim life I thought the first character should be called “Turban-Guy”. Have a look.

Right now, the only thing that can be animated about this character are his arms, which are linked to an armature.

Later I’d like to make some basic shapes for eye and mouth movements as well as one for the turban, which should move with different face expressions. As you can see, the guy has no legs, I do intend on having the characters hover over the ground if they moved at all. This makes it a lot easier and i hope it will be something that is more realistic for me to do on my own.. Let’s see where I can get with this.

At the same time, I’m looking for an open source application with which i can compile the story board (as a drafty comic). I came upon Stripgenerator.com and had my first comic created, which is basically a test of what the site is capable of. Theoretically it’s quite nice, but I’d need to be able to draw my own characters if I’m going to use it for the story board. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know..

Note to self: Check-out the comic strip on ninjabi.com regularly! This could provide material and ideas for some episodes..
