This is the last week we’re working on the heavy push. It may be revised slightly for next week, but this is what I’m turning in right now. Crits and comments welcome as always.

“Final” Heavy Push.

Past that, we’re getting started working on our next project. Sketchbook assignment for this week was to sketch out some ideas for our next piece, which will be an emotion test. The idea is to have a quick scene where the character goes though the following emotional states: relaxed, alert, engaged, rejected or disgusted. I came up with four stories.

Scenario #1
Week 07 Sketches 01
This was by far the worst idea I had. Stewie is doing push ups, notices a girl, and tries to impress her with his muscles. Then he tries to play it off. Nothing terribly wrong with this scene, but it seems too obvious. Like it might have been done before, oh, about a million times already.

Scenario #2
Week 07 Sketches 02
This one I like a lot. Stewie is stirring his cauldron. He adds an ingredient and a little puff of smoke comes out. He catches a whiff and pukes into the cauldron, which causes a larger puff of smoke to come out, which kills him. I like it ’cause it’s gross.

Scenario #3
Week 07 Sketches 03
I like this one too. A croquet ball rolls into the scene, and the Stewie hits it, hard. He watches it sail off, and then winces empathetically as it hits something off screen, and looks away. When he peeks back to check, the ball hits him in the stomach. Hilarious!

Scenario #4
Week 07 Sketches 04
This one’s less physical, but I like it also. A mysterious sign dangles in front of Stewie, requesting that he pull. He does, and it reveals the sad, sad truth. Poor Stewie, he has no friends.

And those are the ideas. I’m interested to hear what people have to say about these possible storylines.
