THE GIRLS ARE BONDINGGGGG DSHFSDKHJF!!!! 🌸💫💀
I’m SO excited to share this with you!!! I’ve had this image in my head for a LONG time. I wasn’t expecting to add a background, but I knew I wanted it to be a print, so after drawing the girls I thought to myself, you know what, I may as well go full hog and add one. This was so much fun!!1! I feel like it’s 2015 again, WITH MY FIXATIONS I MAY AS WELL BE SIXTEEN RIGHT NOW XKJHCKKJGHJ!!! I’ve been thinking about watching gaobam during my invader zim kick, and then I was also thinking about gravity falls, but there was part of me that didn’t want that to pull me away from iz….. WELL PROBLEM SOLVED!! I am so genius >:) I’ve been watching both shows lately and having a blast.
Print preorders are live on my store!! I'm planning on printing this, as well as a few other drawings at the end of this month.

This is the original marker comp done for the opening shot of the main titles. These sorts of things are done for important shots (or any time you've got time to give something a bit more love). I remember that Art Director Rae McCarson also made a more purple version and a red/orange. I like that this one looked like a bit of a punk rock eyesore, so I went with that.
I always felt that the Grim & Evil titles were obnoxious in the WRONG way, and I wanted to make sure that the Billy & Mandy titles were CORRECTLY obnoxious.
It was a fun title sequence, with the exception of the fact that we had three days and zero extra dollars to put it together. Once we had the art assets, I took a weekend with my roommate La and girlfriend (all of whom worked on the show) and shot a bunch of extra stuff. We threw water balloons full of paint at poster board (which would later be used as mattes for the "splatter" transitions. We filmed smoke swirling in a tube and that can be seen swirling around the edges of the whole sequence. We did dumb little drawings of sharp-toothed Billys and Mandys. Many of those made it in as film scratches or pops. Most of it (like the infamous names on the tombstones) is really hard to see in SD.
Nice we had all of the stuff, editor Bobby Gibis and I spent a couple of days mashing it all together with the music.
My biggest regret is that we weren't given the time or budget for any actual animation, as I'd really wanted Billy & Mandy's sketelons to drop down followed by organs and skin as in the pilot. Instead we just had to use "electricity magic". Still, considering the resources we had... I'm pretty proud of what we were able to accomplish.
This piece (and many others) are on eBay right now under username: gr1mb0t.
I'll be putting more stuff up through the next couple of months, so keep an eye out if you're interested!
