More Ren & Stimpy Layouts--Episode: "Altruists"

Sorry, it's been awhile since I posted anything. I've been real busy animating on "The Mr. Men Show" season 2.
Here's a scene from the episode "Altruists." Basically Ren & Stimpy want to steal a valuable painting from the house--yet the two children in the basement catch Stimpy in the act.

I remember when I thought that came up with this expression for the boy, I thought it was great. I still like it, but I later remembered that I must have remembered it from an older Ren & Stimpy episode: "Dog Show." Remember if the dog wasn't chosen, the judge would throw it into a bull dog's mouth for lunch? Anyway, I saw later that that is where I got the expression from (though I didn't know it at the time).

Another scene where Ren & Stimpy are running scared of the crazy, axe wielding Fire Chief (Ralph Bakshi). This time, they're posing as book-ends to try and fool him. As you can see below, they aren't fooling anybody...

I did a good amount of scenes with Ren & Stimpy running away and hiding in different ways from the Fire Chief's axe. It was fun, because it gave me the chance to draw the characters in action.

Layouts I did for Ren & Stimpy, Episode: "Altruists" (2003)

Ren just asked Stimpy a question in the previous scene. Stimpy says "no" (I think).

Ren shouts out "LIAR!"--Stimpy is scared by the outburst.

Ren again questions Stimpy...

Stimpy (trying to calm Ren down and looking innocent) says: "I know better than that, Ren..."

Ren walks off-screen slightly pleased with the answer. Stimpy is happy with the out-come.

Some of my layouts from Ren & Stimpy, Episode: "Fire Dogs II" (2003)

Here's Stimpy jumping on screen--

Landing--

--and doing "the take." I didn't draw this one. It was drawn by my Supervisor Fred Osmond. I had a crazy idea of drawing Stimpy as a crazed cat with slits for pupils and his hair all frayed out. It didn't fly though.

Stimpy running off, dodging an axe from the crazed fire chief, played by Ralph Bakshi.

Then Ren jumps onto screen to find an axe embedded into the wall.

He does his "take." I actually drew it even more crazy originally--but then toned it down for the show. That's why the copy of Ren is a pasted on copy from a copy and not the best of quality.

And finally, Ren runs in mid-air for a moment and exits stage left--as the axe is pulled out.

Some layouts I drew for "Stimpy's Pregnant" (2003)

Yup, I was right, on the first drawing they did change the look of Stimpy for the final version. You can see the final version of this drawing if you scroll down.

This was changed also. You see, we didn't have the sound yet when doing these layouts, so I thought Ren would be in distress saying "...having my baby!"; having the accent on the last drawing for the word "..baby!" As it turned out, John wanted him to be saying it calmly.

Oh, on a side note--the first drawing on the first page actually happens after the cop leaves. I just put it first for my portfolio (since it shows the car in full detail).

Some of my Ren & Stimpy Layouts after being inked & painted (2003)

Two kids are about to have a visit from their heroes--Ren & Stimpy! From the episode "Altruists."

Two hungry people, one is headless. Ren is off screen, force-feeding the woman cheese. From the episode "Altruists."

Stimpy going into contractions, Ren paranoid. I don't remember drawing Stimpy's eyes like that (but maybe I did--who knows), but I do have a clear memory of drawing Ren how he looks here. From the episode "Stimpy's Pregnant."

I found these on some random website awhile back and well, here they are. It's too bad there wasn't anything from the episode "Fire Dogs II", I did layouts for that one also. I do have allot of Layout Drawings of these episodes that I'll post soon. I just decided that since I have these final stills already on my computer, that I might as well post them.
