A cozy, behind-the-scenes podcast for artists, animators and storytellers. Put it on while you draw, animate or make your own art!
In Episode 3 of Armature Hour, Charlie dives into Photoshop and begins drawing the landscape of The Howlers, we pull up our brain dumps in the Studio Jenna built, and we start mapping Howl. By the end of a late-night session we have floating islands in the fog, a moon-obsessed cult of Howlers, and the beginnings of a guide character.
In this episode:
- Islands in the fog: a broken world of plateaus above a mysterious abyss
- Two faults: the ancient split, and the one that tears our hero's family apart
- What does our hero actually want when she leaves home?
- The Howlers: a cult that sings to the sky and keeps the pack from asking questions
- A curl of vine over the cliff edge, and the abyss as the messy middle of a healing journey
- Our guide character's inspirations, mirror formations, distant howls, and how to show sound in stop motion
A first guest is on the way!
