A Merry (late) Burp's Christmas!

December-January is a busy time of year. It's easy to get off track in the holiday hustle. It hit us a little bit around Burp's Christmas land. Each week I try to send out an eMail to the members of our small team - the last one I sent out is dated 12.11.10 - almost a month ago! That's 1/12th of a year. That's sloppy leadership.

Anyhow, before I got knee deep into advent, I finished up these character designs:

Gunther
Tommy
Stephanie


...though a little late.

I think Gunther is my favorite, his final design will probably be somewhat close to this. I'll have to work out Tommy's character more, he seems so generically bully-ish right now.

We're still trying to pull ourselves out of our first phase of production. At this point, I'm a little concerned that it's taking so long, but so it goes. We need to get our ducks in a row, and we need to do it fast, less we lose momentum before we've really even begun to fight.

This Valentines Day I'll be releasing The Romantic on the internet for free download/streaming. Hopefully that'll get some eyes over to Burp's Christmas. We'll see. Regardless, 2011 is a big year for us. Wish us luck!

peace,
