Scene 421 fix

This is a scene of the young man of privilege, William Winston Wheekly getting it on with a lowly speak easy cigarette girl. Her gesture was supposed to vaguely recall Ruby, but it's been decided that popping a cigarette out of your cleavage is too much a Ruby signature move, and we DON'T want people thinking that this is Ruby.

I gave the animator, Temris Ridge these instructions: "I want you to change that animation to Wheekly placing a cigarette into the cigarette girl's mouth, and her suggestively accepting it. Not a very subtle metaphore, but subtlety is for lesser men!" Here's her retake:

Makes me blush!

New Intro

The lovely and talented Morgan Sheffield edited together this fancy new intro sequence

Episode 1, Sound Design, first draft

This audio is incomplete and not mixed, but sounding pretty damn good!

Episode Titles

Ruby Gets Spruced Up!

Now that's fine animation!

Three Stages of Wheekly

As it was my duty today to prepare episode 4 for animation, that left me no choice but to finally design the Honorable Mayor William Winston Wheekly.

Episode 1, Rough Animation Complete!

This is a much more complete delivery than I expected to make. Episode one is running about two weeks ahead of schedule! This version has the assisting and inking done for all but a few scenes and that wasn't scheduled to be complete until June 28th.

The audio is still rough placeholder. Especially noticeably absent is the audio for Pixie and Ruby's struggle in the bathroom.

The unfortunate flip side to being ahead on Ep 1 is that Ep 2 is a bit behind. We have a rough animation delivery of episode two scheduled for next week, but I think it's unlikely we'll manage that entirely. All together we're still on track with the project.
