Ģ006-2007 sketches of Sock and Mephistopheles.
She is an avid fan of the American animated cartoons South Park, The Simpsons and Futurama, and grew up watching Disney animated movies and Japanese anime like Yu-Gi-Oh!, so some aspects of Welcome to Hell are influenced by or pay homage to them.
Wester has always been drawn to dark comedy and character-driven stories, and with Welcome to Hell she set out to make one of her own. And I like that unsettling mixture of spooky and cute!! I like dark comedies, I like stories that are slightly self-aware, I like character-driven interactions. Origins Įarly concept artwork of Sock pestering Jonathan. A release date has not yet been determined. It will focus more on Jonathan, who hadn't much introduction in the first film. W2H2 will be an animated continuation of the original Welcome to Hell short film. Aside from the quality increase, the HD release includes a few re-animated shots along with slight camera angle adjustments and timing changes. The film presents a revised version of the events of the 2010 web comic and goes on to detail Sock's first attempts at disturbing Jonathan, who doesn't respond like he'd hoped and is mostly annoyed by Sock's presence.įor screening during the Dragon Con Independent Film Festival of 2014, Wester was required to produce a high-definition copy of Welcome to Hell.
