“The Happy Meteor” was my first shot at scribbling
TV proposals to pitch them to producers in L.A.
The writing of the little wacky story set in a seedy dinner lost in the middle of nowhere attached to a space tip took me a little week.
The idea was to come up with rich enough characters so I could have them become in turn the engine generating each episode.
My aim was to come up with a bible for the writers of the show.
Following the precept: if your characters are good enough your story should write itself.
I made a file of 20 aliens and a misplaced human Nasa pilot, who is constrained to wash dishes behind the counter to pay his food and lodging.
I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did while painting them.
Most of the work I did so far involved some sort of character design in one way or another.
