The factory is being shut down
This will be the second last update on the wonderful world of Clarence and his magical box. Little children are growing up too fast these days and are becoming less interested in eating candy, and if that is so then there is no need for Candy Coated Creations.
The story of Clarence is to much of a complex tale and would require weeks among weeks more planning and work in order to make it taste as delicious as it should. It would not feel right to bring out a product if the recipe had not yet been perfected and so it is my unfortunate duty to announce the closure of this factory.
One more update will come shortly which will be the link to a new and wonderful fable. A much darker tale from an even darker time, keep your eyes bigger than you belly for this one, and as round as the full moon.

Racing Car Bed!
I havn't brung out any new candy in ages! So to fix that I will post up my first sketch of the racing car bed and a brief process of how it came to be. Alot is explained in the picture but this bed will be in the main characters bedroom and also in the opening sequence of the animation! WOO More candy soon...
... get a closer look in the Candy Recipes section!

Sugar overload
All this candy has given my brain a sugar overdose! The story of my animation has come to me, I'm going to start typing out the basic story. I really dont want to spoil it or give anything away but when I get into the stages of concept art and animatics I shall reveal a little taste of the candy!
Doodle bug
I thought I would scan in some doodles of my main character Clarence. He is a very curious boy (which naturally makes him the worst person to have Pandora's box) and loves coffee. Strange and unexplainable things often seem to happen to Clarence due to his unaturally bad luck!
I made a tiny comic strip out of three pictures I drew so I thought I'd post that up too! Any sketches and doodles will be posted up as larger versions in the Candy Recipes section, enjoy!

Eat your heart out Pandora
This little piece of candy is the first (and poorly drawn) sketch of the protagonist of my animation. His name from his very birth has been Clarence and I see no reason why that should ever change!
This short and stubby style of character is quite common in the cartoon world but I think I have gained my chosen animation style from three main inspirations.
1: The Legend Of Zelda: The Windwaker
This is a video game released in 2003 for the Nintendo Gamecube and I love its cell shaded style. This is probably the first thing I thought of when I was set an animation project! Here is a video of some of the gameplay just so you can get a feel of it!
2: Invader Zim
Invader Zim was a cartoon that first aired on Nickelodeon in 2001. It was cancelled after 2 seasons and 27 episodes as the creators kept slipping in images that didnt follow Nickelodeon viewing guidlines (blood and gore). The show is set on earth where everything is just strange and illogical. So no only does Invader Zim inspire my drawing style but also the atmosphere I want to give my animation, here is a short video below showing the art syle.
3: Dad 'n Me
Dad 'n Me is a flash game created in 2005 by programmer Tom Fulp and is a follow up game to his related game Chainsaw The Children. The game is set in a suburban neighbourhood where you play the son of a huge purple maniac. You run around beating up children and adults alike throwing, punching and stabbing your way to the end boss. This game itself was made on flash and the art style of the characters is what really wanted me to add it to this list. Here is a video to show the gameplay and of course if you want to play the two games just follow either of the links above.
