Here's some panels from a storyboard I did for Mighty B, called "Awww-esome", which was the 3rd out of 4 storyboards I did. This was a really fun episode to board, because it had a lot of scenes with Bessie getting really frustrated and behaving strangely, and I love that sort of thing.
Basically Bessie is trying desperately to catch a glimpse of newborn puppies on the website "Puppynet" (just like puppy cam! Look it up if you don't know what it is!), but she keeps missing them and gets more and more irritated. Meanwhile her puppy obsession deeply offends her dog Happy, and ultimately leads to a scary ending. Actually, I haven't seen the episode yet, so they may have changed some stuff from the storyboard. By accident I changed an important part of the ending, making it a lot less child-friendly, but no one said anything at the time! I wonder if they kept it? Here are Bessie's fellow honeybee scouts reacting to the puppies:
Eddie Trigueros did the beat boards for this episode, and his cool and cartoony style was a huge help and inspiration when I was drawing!
I should probably add that these are just bits and pieces from the story- it's probably not gonna make a whole lot of sense looking at these. I just chose the ones with drawings I liked! You'll have to watch the episode to see what's actually going on! :)
The gag above is that Bessie can't manage to get to the hot dog vendor because people keep butting ahead of her in line. I couldn't for the life of me manage to come up with a smart way to stage it so that what was happening would be clear, so Eddie helped me come up with this totally silly solution of having them just drop randomly out of the sky.
Really weird incidental cop guys. I hope the designers on the show made these cooler! :D
I love drawing extreme frustration! Below is how I look when I'm mad.
Bessie is now determined to see the puppies on the screen, but every time they appear she somehow misses them.
The rest of this post is stuff from the ending of the episode, so if you plan on watching it and want to be surprised, better quit now!
Bessie watches in helpless horror as bad things are about to happen to cute things.
I like the description for the above panel
Hooray! Happy ending! I'm glad I got assigned this story because I got to draw lots of puppies. If you liked these, I posted some more storyboards from my first episode here.
That's all for now! If anyone's seen this episode, please let me know how it turned out. I hope to post new drawings soon. Thanks for looking!
