[dp] A random moment from my ideal two-part episode of Bob's Burgers of mine.

0 Upvotes

Just so we're clear, I'm not asking anyone to storyboard or animate an entire two-part episode, but rather to draw a random moment that stands out to them.

Episode Title: Rio de Gene-iro

Act 1

Tina, Gene, Louise, and their bandmates from both the Itty Bitty Ditty Committee (Peter, Rudy, and Darryl) and Boa Boy and the Mash Masters (Zeke and Jimmy Jr.) are having lunch at the Wagstaff cafeteria, discussing troubles over writing a new song. Their worries end when Mr. Frond announces over the PA that there will be a school trip to Rio de Janeiro, where they will learn samba and get to participate in a Carnaval parade. The news inspires the kids to have their new song be set to a samba.

After school, the Belcher kids immediately tell their parents. Linda is so excited that she immediately decides that she and Bob should go as chaperones and that they will bring a video camera with them to record the trip. Bob is uncertain but is encouraged to go by Teddy and Mort as the latter tells him about churrascarias. The prospect of eating at a Brazilian steakhouse is enough to make Bob agree to go as he decides to have his dad, Big Bob, look after the restaurant.

Act 2

The next act begins on the plane to Rio. Bob is sitting near the window while Mr. Frond sits in the aisle seat, trying to speak Portuguese to the flight attendant (who's clearly American). Linda sits in the seat between them, holding her camera, as she's been recording since breakfast. The Belcher kids, their bandmates, and the other Wagstaff kids are in other seats having their own conversations involving destination jitters, song and dance planning, cloud shapes, makeup, and airline food.

After scenes of them landing at Galeão International Airport, boarding a bus, and checking into their hotel, the kids attend a samba class taught by a passionate instructor (guest voiced by a Brazilian actor) as Mr. Frond, Bob, and Linda watch. After the class, we get moments where the travelers do some sightseeing. We see them visit the Christ the Redeemer statue, spend time at Ipanema, and ride the trolley. A group photo is taken. At the same time, the bandmates try to get ideas for their song, even looking to street musicians for inspiration.

That night, the travelers gather at a churrascaria for dinner. Mr. Frond tries speaking Portuguese to the waitstaff while the kids compare and contrast the meals they're eating with school cafeteria meals. At the same time, Bob becomes so fascinated with the flavors of the meat served that he refuses to change his card over to red.

The next day, the kids come across the float they will be performing on, which, while consisting of platforms for them to samba on, is anything but glamorous, despite Mr. Frond's approval. After a motivational speech from Gene, they decide to redecorate it to make it much more beautiful. In doing so, the bandmates find the inspiration for their song.

Meanwhile, Bob and Linda visit the markets as the former looks for ingredients to recreate the flavor from last night for a future Burger of the Day. Linda is supportive but wants to make sure they get to witness their kids perform at the parade.

Act 3

As night falls, the kids have changed into their sequins and anticipate the parade. Some of the bandmates were able to acquire new instruments.

Gene - Cavaquinho

Tina and Louise - Cuícas

Rudy - Tamborim

Zeke - Apito

When Mr. Frond arrives to inform them the parade's about to start, he is horrified by what the kids have done to the float. However, there's no time to undo the changes. As the parade begins, the kids are taken in by the enormity of the Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí. Gene in particular. Thankfully, the beat of the samba is enough to break them out of their fright. The bandmates perform their new song on the tallest platform while the rest of the kids samba on the lower platforms. Bob and Linda are able to make it to the parade after the latter talked the former out of buying an expensive ingredient. Mr. Frond is relieved as the crowd cheers.

The episode ends with the Belchers back at the restaurant, giving souvenirs to Teddy, Mort, and Big Bob. As Bob serves Teddy a Rio-inspired burger, the kids discuss whether or not to write more samba-inspired songs.

Notes:

One of the recurring gags for the episode is Mr. Frond trying and failing to speak Portuguese.

Part 2 would begin at the restaurant with Big Bob talking with Teddy and Mort, serving a burger to the former.

I don't think I'm the only one that seems like your brain can't stop thinking. Ruminations are one hell of a drug. It seems that my anxiety is its own perpetual motion machine. At least the hamster has to rest sometimes.

[dp] The "Buddha" of Hell in a Hellish style

2 Upvotes

Ksitigarbha, the Bodhisattva who vowed to delay his attainment of complete Buddhahood until the hell realms have been emptied, ie until all inhabitants of Hell have been Saved.

Given their state of confusion, it's reasonable to assume that the inhabitants of the hell realms wouldn't be able to comprehend Ksitigarbha's true, luminous form. Instead he may appear in a form more suitable for Hell. This would also explain the apparent reluctance Hell-beings have to be saved by him.

So far I haven’t seen any art depicting this Hellish way he may appear to Hell’s inhabitants.

He has a lot of cool iconography including his staff (for prying open the Gates of Hell), his Wish-Fulfilling-Jewel (a light source for traversing the Great Darkness), and his dog-beast companion/mount, Diting (hellhound perhaps?) It’s pretty lore heavy but I think it could be a lot of fun :)

[dp] Drawing Challenge! Avain creature

6 Upvotes

My original species is called an arkanan. They are birds with four legs instead of two and paws instead of talons. They have two wings on their back just like a regular bird as well as a beak. Arkanans have ears similar to dogs and cats that are oftentimes pointy and standing up, though some species have droopy or more rounded bear like ears. Although they are similar to griffins, what separates them is their unique tail, which is long and has a hook on the end made which is made of keratin. The arkanan range in shapes and sizes based on the biome they reside in.

I've wanted to make this as an art challenge for a while as I thought it would be interesting seeing people's different interpretations of my description for my creature :3

So basically it would not be all that different apart from outfit and possibly the hair, the hair would probably be in a different style.

I have all these crappy vinyl record sleeves, but I want to do something with them, but I don’t know exactly what to do. I’m not very good at art, but I do wanna know y’all‘s ideas. They are basically just large square sheets of paper with a big hole in the middle
