Great work! It’s cool to see the animatic of this.
C&H Sad Larry's Sad New Year Animatic
This is owned by Explosm Entertainment, but I drew and animated everything here! This is an animatic, not the final animation, but if you're interested in how it turned out, click here to watch Sad Larry's Sad New Year on YouTube!

I was THRILLED to have been able to work on a Sad Larry short. This is still in the midst of my slow-starting, then rush to meet the deadline phase unfortunately, but I still managed to slip in a lot of fun details and gags in this thing.
The stumbling backwards sequence was especially fun, and I snuck in a C&H Van Halen logo I conceptualized around the time. I also threw in Purgatony's office on the tv. I loved the final cake gag, and it was evident I was going through a big Bruno Mars kick at the time, lmfao.
2017 was a rough period of time for sure, but I was optimistic for 2018 and tried channeling that into this animatic as I was struggling through depression hardcore around the time I worked on this. Apt that it was Sad Larry. A lot of things in my personal life were burbling up, and it's a shame and a regret that it bled through into my professional life with really sloppy animatics. The guys deserve better and so do y'all.

About time we get to see what love truly looks like. It doesn't exist for the individual, just everyone else around that individual.
I thought maybe the gag was going to be that he tried to catch the kiss, but ends up falling off of the building and going splat on the ground. Instead, he has to face the reality of being Sad Larry inside with all of his "friends".
