Bubs 2012


I’ve had the idea of doing a comic about 2012 since 2009, but I only started working on it since April this year. Before I started writing the story, I did some research about different theories about the Mayan prophesies (I wasn’t concerned with accuracy, I used Wikipedia as a source for God’s sake). This comic had more planning than any other cartoon I’ve worked on, with many notes taken on different parts of the story.  The plot is mostly a retrospective of the year 2012 and focuses more on the characters, so the question of whether the world would end or not, is left open-ended until the end of the story. I included every character I’ve created up to this point, though some of them were stuck to bit parts. The drawings are a major improvement over my previous work, as I worked to not only amp up the character drawings, but also worked more with the backgrounds and the overall color. This is the biggest comic power point I've made to date, wiht over 50 slides and more than 350 drawings. To me, this cartoon has been a long time coming, and I hope you enjoy it.
