"so eat your carrots. don't get computer screen eyes."

"BEST FOOD EV4R!!1"

"i say"

"muah"

big-j: no more mr. nice guy

cap'n: if it was a business and i still had great market exposure and decent profit sharing margins, my stock prices and net value would be on a bull market, with the deviating syl-... what i'm trying to say is that i've got a small cock *sigh*

serenity-starlight: wow! thanks for the compliment!

"the carrot..."

big j: haha! i've been laying down a perspective grid to make sure things stay solid throughout scenes. just doin what i can

anyway, lastie for hte night

another

big-j: sad but true

puddinN64: well, i'll have the next best thing on new years: my own site!

anyway, still doin rough animation and loving life

de tocqueville.

oh crap, tjhe drawoimg

big j: it's no secret anymore! hahahahaha oh man

lyxek: thanks man. i get the comparison to ren and stimpy a lot (thanks! great compliment in my eyes). i think ren and stimpy is one of the only shows out to carry the torch of solid, golden age cartoon styles. i like ren and stimpy, but i like tex avery and looney tunes adn stuff even more! hopefully someday people will tell me my stuff looks like looney tunes!

anyway, think you guys can keep quiet about something? i wanna share a little animation preview and share a bit about my animation process.

underneith you will see really rough drawings in a low opacity. that's my animatic. i rough out my WHOLE film super rough. i do a soundtrack and then cut up all the scenes into their own .fla's for rough animation.

i dropped my animatic in, put a box of high opacity white over it, and i've been starting to animate. this is my rough animation where i go in and just try to get the basic motions down. i don't try ot get details or anything else. i'll do that when i tie down the key drawings and get ready to clean stuff up.

anyhoo, shhhh. don't tell anybody. this'll be our little secret

Capt.-Ben: All will be revealed in October. Hahaha, well, January actually. We'll launch! I promise!

Big-J: No, smiling like I was when I wrote that because I get to animate. The drawing of the girl is totally exasperated. They say you draw what you know, right? Haha

Anyhoo, animation break took a little time to doodle

big j: hopefully the film will be too.

FINALLY. done with animatic. got a FAT head start on paintings. broke up my animatic into scenes. now i can start ROUGH ANIAMTION! the funnest part. i probably won't be smiling like this when i have to clean it all up and color it tho.

big j: i gotta do it.

more paint.

dex: thanks dude!

big-j: surely it would take one to know one, right? haha, oh god *hits bottle*

slip-nip: hahaha, funny soliloquy. kinda pegs the character of my drunk frog character. super disgruntled drunk

anyway, silly drawering. gotta keep it moving. working on content and website. can't wait to launch in january and show you guys all this stuff!

TheCupcakeArmy: haha I won't disappoint!

Anthvinny: I haven't really had many requests. Lemme know what you'd like, and if it's simple I might be able to crank it out. Otherwise I'm pretty busy trying to finish actual content, so who knows

big-jonny-13: i can't slip anything by you. except for those roofies *giggle*

yeah, another painting.

newest film requires 20+ paintings. OH JOY!

big-j: i can't slip anything by you. except roofies.

nekow: thanks! flattery will get you everywhere

flier for a party. should be fun.

*burp*

big-j: it's only just begun!!!111

trying out more ideas to add texture and values to my comics. can't wait until i can share all these with you guys, i'm getting excited.

big-j: HAHAHAHAHA method acting.

alkjfslkajfas hahahaha probably green screen this

i think i'm gonna have to wait like 30 minutes to post again, but the next drawing is the best one! dammit! you'll see

poop. just working really loose.

another

Tommy-Gun: Animation to come in the future! Trying to write the funniest stuff possible before I go into production. This is my favorite part of film making... the idea and brainstorming part!

Anyway, I'm working on my first live action project for a script I wrote. We're doing an animatic. I'm a post some stills from it here

Captain-Ben: hahahaha, the world's BIGGEST mustache enthusiast : )

Lundsfryd: Sorry! It'll be worth the wait! I promise!

Anyway, more prelim design work. Tryig ot get a feeling for this character

LegolasSS: What a great compliment! Thanks so much. Are your mom's films up anywhere? I'd love to check them out.

More preliminary character design work. Trying to keep these characters SUPER simple so I can animate the SHIT out of them. When characters are too complex, they take too long to draw and clean up and it's just a mess. Anyhoo...
