Spaceman Do is a character I've been playing around with for awhile now. He is, obviously, a space man. But as a character, I've got a lot of deeper things in mind I'd like to explore. I've been toying around with many ideas and have even posted some character design work that I did in other classes, but I have yet to find the time to do something with it all. As part of my final for my Storyboarding and Animatics class, I was finally able to put together a script and bring Spaceman Do to life. It was a highly exciting thrill ride the whole way through...right up to the all-nighter I spent cleaning up the boards to get them done in time! I am truly pleased with the way they turned out!! (even if they are over-rendered for boards) Still so much more to explore in this world, but hopefully you enjoy this first adventure.
Spaceman Do Storyboards
I plan on putting together an animatic for this (need to for my thesis, anyway) that I shall post when it's finished (and not a moment sooner). I will also post my character design work soon. Long-term goals for the character include a comic, cause that's just been something I've wanted to create for far too long. In the mean time, here are the original thumbnail sketches for the sequence:

Dude! These a phenomenal! I just read Spaceman Do and I skimmed over the briefcase one last night (looked at everything just didn't read it). I have to say, you have some serious chops! I though Do was hilarious and suspenseful! The only moment that I was really taken out of it was the POV shot on the creature on the EPE, I went back to it once or twice to see if I could figure out what it was. Maybe you could have cut in close to show the audience what it was before he go up there? Or perhaps Do's got some super smart glass that functions as a HUD that can zoom in to things like binoculars for him? That was the one small thing I saw but dude, it's totally put together. Kudos.
Thank you thank you, sir! Very kind words. I completely agree that the POV shot always seemed like it wasn't quite working right, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to steal your idea, because that makes perfect sense. :^) Thank you for it!
Steal away! :D
Super cool!! Really dig the characters and the acting!!
