Well, it's been a while since I've been able to put a picture up on here (I was able to put up only one, I believe), and my own addition to this thread is simply too big at the moment for me to actually upload it, so I'll explain what it is: at my storyboard page http://thevalleyofthejadestars.blogspot.com, which is basically my storyboard for a Disney movie that never existed, after a few years of struggling to get a new computer and equipment I have finally been able to get my entire page updated, re-scanning absolutely everything with higher quality scans with my new scanner (the originals looked simply terrible the old way), and after spending hours polishing it all up I have finally been able to spend the evening adding several new entries of the many pictures I have already had drawn but lacked the ability to add. So after ages of waiting, I was finally able to complete my prologue, opening credit sequence and now, finally, Indiana Goof makes his first appearance on screen! ;) It's an enormous relief to know it's finally suitable for presenting, and I can now add to it at my leisure without any more headaches. At the moment there are 102 panels total, and that total is still rising.
All the sketches are on 3X6 inch papers and are either 15-30 second quicksketches, or sketches with slight extra detail added later (Panel 7). As with all storyboards, the idea is to get the idea down on paper asap to create a comic book style script, so these are extreme roughs, as in producing an animated feature that's where the crew comes in afterward to design/create everything once the storyboard is agreed upon. This little project is being done here for my own personal enjoyment just to keep my wheels spinning until whenever the time comes to land my next gig, as otherwise I'd go stircrazy, lol. I hope you like it. ;)
As I continue to add more of my existing sketches to it, I'll try to post a few of the more completed ones I think more suitable for sharing here on this thread as I can.

Here's something for the aspiring Disney artists out there.
And the professionals too of course.
Anyone who wants to try his/her hands at drawing a half page from an unpublished script by "the master"?
A piece of Carl Barks "lost" Uncle Scrooge story: Happi Happi Island.
( http://sekvenskonst.blogspot.com/2009/10/carl-barks-lost-uncle-scrooge-adventure.html )
I hope that some of you will think this is a fun exercise. :)

OK, without much further ado here's page 3A (The top half of the third page):

1
Box: Soon Uncle Scrooge wished he *could* move out of Duckburg!
Donald and Scrooge in Scrooges office.
Scrooge in tub of money. Mailman coimng in door at right.
Scrooge: Ah! The restful therapy of a cool tub of money!
Mailman: Letter for Mr. McDuck!

2
Scrooge reading letter makes wild-eyed take.
It??s from the tax-collector! Every Duckburgian must pay a portion of his wealth to the fund for a happier Happi Happi!
Donald: *I??m* taxed, too? What??s the rate?

3
Donald looks att the sheet. Scrooge has fainted.
Donald: One nickel on every ???????????? I won??t have to pay *anything*! They don??t make money that *small*!

4
On street the narrator of the do-gooders meets a fellow do-gooder. : I will be stuck for a dollar or two, but it will be worth the sacrifice!
Man: Those poor Happi Happians are welcome to my share of the tax!
Thinking: (.86c)

Good luck! :)

Etc.
I'd love to have a go on this, thanks :)

I wonder if our approaches will be similair, or radically different? :) Any other participants?

I wish I had the time to work on that, but I need to finish several stories on which I'm currently working. And if I get any "free time", I need to finish my McDrake Magazine story. Maybe I'll try to fit it in, anyway.

Here's a small set of 15-30 second sketches (with slight detail added on afterward) for my second online story "The Mirror of Poltergeists", which haven't been posted yet (I wanted to get the idea down while still in the mood to do them).
The scene is the driver's window of a large special tank-like vehicle which *was* being used by Indiana Goof to chase Krantz, who's also driving the same type of vehicle himself up ahead, at an alarmingly top speed. After an intense argument with his co-passenger, Indy has just slammed on the brakes, causing said passenger to slam up against the windshield in the process, and is now in the process of driving reverse instead at the exact same alarming speed that he had previously been driving forward (oh, and don't you just love how a hat can be made to stay on in such situations just to emphasize effect? ;) ).

(briefly feeling forehead from impact): "OW ~ urrGH!!! ~ "

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR ***MIND***???"

INDY (disgusted; at top of his lungs while not taking his eyes off the road): "SOMETIMES I *THINK* SO!"

"WHAT DO YA THINK YOU'RE **DOING**, YA FRIGGIN' ***MANIAC***???"

Quote from user: HedbergGreat job, Indy, great!
These roughs comes with such an ease, it seems - and totally blows my mind!
Keep 'em coming...
Thank you very much. :)
