Heh, thanks guys. After Adam's initial explosion of ideas I had a pretty good & specific idea about the story I wanted to do, which was a little different from his initial conception, but not a million miles away. Adam did a great job of ratcheting the story up a few notches and writing a really nice tight little script that perfectly captured what I wanted to say.
I've been working with Adam for quite a few years now. I find I usually get the results I am happiest with if I have a lot of input in the 'story' part of the process. When he first started working on Pewfell I would just let him do whatever he wanted, but I found things would veer off on tangents too much, and things tended to get a little bit 'super-wacky'. I prefer to keep a more logical approach to the humor, he is a little more Looney Tunes. As a result I think the first book of Pewfell Volume 4 is uneven.
After a while I realized that in order for me to stay fully engaged in the drawing I needed to be very definite about the story we were telling. Adam is excellent at taking my basic ingredients (i.e. outline and typically heavy-handed dialog) and really whipping them up into something much more delicious. I feel like I do better work because I really believe in the material that much more.
Holy crap, that page looks neat! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat work.

ReplyDeleteYou just earned another star on your uniform in my book.
Wait...I meant another star on your wizard's hat!
