Above is a vis dev story beat for A Fish Story. For those of you not familiar with the terminology “vis dev” is short for visual development. A “story beat” is an important part of the story…one that “drives the characters”. These are all terms in “previs” which is short for pre-visualization.
My daughter said the drawing reminded her of the “original Cinderella story. You know, the Chinese folktale?” I never heard of this.
In the morning one of the first things I do is grab my sketchbook, subsequently dream/s from the previous night are often what shows up in my sketchbook. I felt my daughter, who was in one of the dreams, would find it interesting to see this. She laughed and asked who the fun character was. She said, “Is he like a Japanese gangster of some sort?” She also said she, “Felt secure in the fact that I will never become a chain smoker.” I’m sure. It’s cut off and so not clear but in the dream it was her coworker who was the chain smoker. If you like click on the image to see an enlargement.
Another sketchbook aquatic character design for A Fish Story finished in Photoshop.

Thank you Ron..cool blog by the way.
it reminds me of a man who walks by my office every day. I asked him one day why he does this and his answer was “I haven’t found Jesus yet”. Well, I moved to the side and wished him the best. He still walks to this day.
I like this story! I also like your blog by the way.
