The Creation of A Pencilly Halloween

Get ready for an interesting one!

The Fruit Comics Ultimate Universe all began with a promise, to create a thriving Fruit Comics Universe set in the present day with heaps of differing ideas and characters. But one project had to start it all off, and we knew just who to make the star of that project, and that guy had to be The Little Pencil. But we knew that we also wanted to actually show The Little Pencil’s Origin Story (which you will see in The Little Pencil #1, releasing on January 14th!), so we needed him to still be a human, which led to the main stars of this quick little special being Ricky and Rose.

One of the first things we did was come up with Concept Art for each of the characters that appeared within the special. Below you can see them. We also came up with the concept art on how they would translate into their Objectical selves. We may have changed a few things…

We actually never came up with concept art for Frank… which is totally weird because I had assumed we did. I think we may have actually done it on paper when designing The Little Pencil 2: The Erasers Return… but that’s a story for another day.

Now for A Pencilly Halloween, we also had to storyboard some of the sequences for one of the animators on the project, specifically a lot of the camera movement sequences… and let’s just say they are pretty ugly to look at all things considered. But hey, maybe you’ll find them interesting!

There’s a few more storyboards we made… but you get the gist of it from this. If A Pencilly Halloween looked like this… I don’t think it would’ve been all that interesting, would it?

Well that’s the creation of A Pencilly Halloween! I hope you found it interesting to revisit A Pencilly Halloween just like I did. Well next week, we’re looking at The History of The Journey by Pencilified Studios. I hope you’re excited!
