New series of great destiny? (Patreon)

I've been talking with a fellow I've worked for in the past about making a web series for his company.  My first idea was "Climate Cops", which was a legally different version of my fat old Captain Planet character starring in a reality tv show where he busts polluters.  I wrote some pretty good material for it and I'd like to return to it, but the scripts came out too long.

Then I went over my Great Destiny Man scripts.  I've tightened up the two good ones and written two new ones.

If you haven't seen my Great Destiny Man cartoons, can I recommend watching the first one and skipping the second one entirely, it's a bit shit (I don't know what the hell I was thinking with that one let's just forget it happened).

I want to reboot him so he doesn't look like Steven Seagal or Samurai Jack.

Here's an early effort.  I like the torn skirt rather than the pantsuit he had, I want to do something else for his sleeves though.  I want him to be really crusty but every little scar or bit of frayed hair is something that needs to be redrawn.  I think I'd like him to have one of those cool hats to keep the rain off, though that will obscure his beautiful face.

At the moment it's looking like 4 episodes, and I think all of them are strong.  12 minutes run time.  We'll see if it happens, at the moment the signs look pretty good.  Sadly they're not offering a great deal of money for it...can't have everything!

Here's the latest two pages of the comic.  Post will resume afterwards.

"I'm sorry, Fernando." sighed Apricot as he was slowly swallowed. 

"I couldn't get it up anymore.  I turned to the Black Market for help, but my quest for erections shattered my morality.  Stop his rampage!  Save Pleasure Island!"  

The two manwhores shared teary gazes as Apricot vanished into the maw.

"Apricot was a messy bitch and I'm glad he's dead!" yelled Big Plums, glowing with malice.  

"Now face me, Fernando, or have you forgotten how?"

 Invigorated by apricot’s passionate sacrifice, Fernando assumed the ancient manwhore pose. 

For a moment Fernando felt as if he was the uncracked tub of yogurt within his fridge. 

The goat that dared to graze with wolves and lay with lions. 

The eye of the storm of sensuality. 

Fernando was ready.

I’ve incorporated a number of suggestions into a plan to end the comic. It’s been going for almost a year! Unfortunately the ending requires 5-6 pages, so still a ways to go. But I’ve made it this far, I’m seeing this through to the end.

Speaking of endings I’m on probably my second last storyboard on the kids show. So another 5-6 weeks. Then if the GDM series happens that’s what I’ll jump on to next, with GREAT relief.

If you’re wondering what happened to my other two animated projects: I shelved the horse cartoon because I got so close to the end that a lot of what I have left is the lame tricky stuff that I did not feel like doing earlier. Once I finish at the studio I intend to finish that, not as a matter of urgency but I do plan to finish it this year. If I go ahead with Great Destiny Man, I’ll have to shelve Fernando & Gooseman’s Falcon Hat cartoon. I only got about 1% into it so I can’t feasibly finish it with part time effort.
