EDIT: Argh! Thanks for the DD! Totally didn't expect that. Ha ha! Also, I'll get around to answering some comments over the next couple days here. Answering them all is like a whole other job. But a very rewarding one. XD lol Thanks to everyone for having a look!

------------------------

Here is the beginning of a several part excerpt of a sequence I worked on for Ed, Edd n Eddy.

DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDED for these--they're big and full of little details.

The nature of storyboarding is a collaborative one. There is a first pass, a second pass... sometimes a 13th pass! And its possible that many hands can touch the board as it goes. As such, its hard to always credit where credit is due.

Scott Underwood, Jim Miller and I all contributed ideas to this sequence at the so-called 'thumbnail stage'. This is how we refer to a smaller, looser version where we plan out the shots and gags. Its the cleanup phase most often where we get to make meaningful acting decisions and of course expressions. Those were my specialty at the time (some say they still are) so this is where I really got to shine. 90-95% of the drawings shown here are mine. Because I've had such a strong overall influence through drawing and thumbing in this sequence I feel comfortable displaying it as somewhat my own.

As my friends know, I was very emotionally attached to this episode and most of all to this sequence and that in the botanical room after the commercial break.

Again, special thanks goes to both Scott Underwood and Jim Miller for their work on A Fistfull of Ed and for being wonderful mentors to me at AKA.

Ah, you're welcome! And thank you for the reply. Ah hah, awesome, the way the acting was done I figured you had to be involved. One of my favorite scenes in cartoons in general! Man, there's something really great about an otherwise funny cartoon pulling off those moments of sincere emotional severity, wish I saw it more often. Thanks again.

This is one of my favorite episodes, for sure. I like so much about it, but it's hard to put into words exactly why. I think it shows off the characters really well. They just come off as really vibrant (not that they don't always, but...you know what I mean, hopefully). It's really neat to be able to take a look at these and see what all goes into an episode.

Thanks so much!

Storyboards! I love you for posting these! I didn't see much in Ed Edd and Eddy when I was younger but I really think it was a great show when I watch it now : D

Looks like these were drawn on paper rather than digitally- what size are they? 3 panels on a letter or A4 size sheet of paper?

Both scenes were beautiful but I especially love the moody lighting in the plant room.

*MutatingRaven Aug 7, 2012 Professional Filmographer

Thanks! It just goes to show how much a location can lend to the gravity of a scene. From my early, early versions of that scene (it was revised several times by myself, Scott and Jim esp when the episode was doubled in length--it was originally intended as an 11-minute--can you imagine?), the lights were always off in it. There he is, huddled in his sanctuary of light. When he ventures out, he's hurt again.

~numbuh0051 Aug 7, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

NP! Whoa, only 11 minutes? I don't think that would've been enough to convey the emotion in this episode. The lighting was gorgeous and it's usually pretty important for it to indicate the character's feelings. It serves as symbolism.

I could only watch this episode once... it was soo good but it kinda hurt to see Double Dee like that lol
Thank you for these

Your artwork makes me want to weep with joy. Your expressions and body language are so incredible, I just want to suck up every bit of knowledge you have. People can learn so much from you!

*Zikka Aug 7, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I LOVED THIS EPISODE...
and i also LOVE the thumbnail stage of animation (aside from the finished product stage of course..)
