The Banana Stand

So due to the fact that I've been reading stories to my kids and watching a little tv before bed, I had the weirdest dream last night. It was basically Arrested Development by Richard Scarry. In it, the narrator from Arrested was reading a Richard Scarry book, but to the plot of the show.

When i mentioned it on twitter, @cool_collected made a hilarious comment about Bananas Gorilla manning the banana stand. From that, I immediately knew I had to draw the scene where Gob tells George Michael to give him a "Gob" (his name for a double-dipped banana with everything on it) with Lowly Worm standing in for Gob (and of course Bananas Gorilla standing in for George Michael). 

So here it is, a scene from Richard Scarry's Busy Development.

30 Rock Animated Sketches

So after finishing up the Frank piece, i decided i wanted to try drawing the characters in a more animated style. I thought it would be fun to show my process so here are the sketches of the main characters. From here i'll start rendering each one. Stay tuned for those!

Update: Added the dark color to Lemon's hair since a few people have commented on that. I was always planning on coloring it dark...just forgot to add that to the sketches!
