Snow Day Zo – Part 1

January 1, 2021 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment

It’s a new year, and time for more new Zo Duck Cartoons. Although Snow Day Zo is new to the blog, it’s not a new idea for the Zo universe. This idea has been with me for some time, waiting for me to render it. I had first thought I would create an animation of this, but that would still need a storyboard. Thus, making the drawings made a lot of sense. Then I can script this and get on with trying to animate.

Honestly, I’m really intimidated about that. The hope that an animator would happen upon Zo and want to team up still thrives within me. Maybe someday soon! In the meantime, I will make the art that will eventually become an animation. Someday, there will be enough time for me to learn a rendering program, or find a team.

Don’t forget, this is the first part of a three part series. Enjoy the hilarity! (This is also a reminder that Zo isn’t for kids. There will be colorful language ahead.)
