Thank you for all the positive feedback on that latest video.
Here's some behind-the-scenes, because I usually don't have the foresight to save these out while I'm in the middle of a project. (thread 1 of 7)
I could solve world hunger tomorrow and I'd still start every conversation with "I got to animate Gex for an official project".
Super thankful to the folks that made it happen!
What’s the funniest joke in the history of television? Has to be a single joke/gag don’t come here detailing entire episodes and story arcs. “Dead dove do not eat” type of stuff.
Gotta say, it sucked seeing how crunchy most of the detail got after being put on tape, but I was committed to nailing that aesthetic and just had to accept it.
It took me almost 20 years, but I finally watched InuYasha all the way through to the end.
The amount of times this happens in the show drove me insane, btw
Outside of animation and history, I'm also a professionally-taught accordion player with a legit love of Frankie Yankovic and Myron Floren. I was quite popular in middle school, as you can imagine.
That said, I was pretty happy with how most of the backgrounds turned out, since environment art is not my forte. Don't check the perspective or vanishing points though, I'm sure they're all over the place.
I mainly used "Bonkers" and "Rescue Rangers" (the good one) as my reference guides while making this.
Watching them for research, I was floored at how high-quality the animation was. After a few months I absolutely wished I picked something more "lower quality" to emulate.
In GoldenEye 64's silo level, heading left into the silo after the second control room and equipping your fists will cause the silo doors to open. None of the silo doors ever open in the game normally.
Me: "Say, I've never animated a large-scale battle scene before. Let's give that a try!"
Me two months later: "wow why would I do this to myself"
New cartoon out! Go give it a look if interested
Replaying OoT for the first time since it came out, and...I gotta say, I just don't get the hatred for Navi. She's nowhere near as annoying as everyone makes her out to be.
Despised Wacom since the first day I used one in college. Driver issues on the campus Wacoms, driver issues on my own Wacom, driver issues on my job's Wacoms. I always thought it was me but now you're telling me that was just a common thing they did? My Huion is bulletproof tho.
Cheers to everyone turning their back on
@wacom
since they’ve turned their back on us. As we say goodbye, let’s all meditate on this reminder of all they’ve given us
Something like "Conniving weasel and dopey buffoon who are the main bad guys, but aren't above teaming up with the protagonists to get rid of an even bigger problem".
I love that everything/everyone that fell down "bottomless pits" in the original Star Wars movies just magically reappears in the new ones. They're like Mario warp pipes I guess
Throwback to when I screenshotted Frictional Games retweeting my "How to Play Amnesia" animation all the way back in October 2012.
Good golly, look at that vintage Twitter layout.
A bunch of my animations (especially older ones) actually come from doodles I made in notebooks in highschool.
Ironically, I think they all worked better as single panel cartoons, to be honest....
A one-time, throwaway character I made for a class at CCS back in 2014. If I remember, her name was Bluebird due to the feather on her headband (because whoever named her was colorblind).
How it feels bringing your dead tablet pen back to life with an impulse-bought soldering iron when, in truth, you had no idea wtf you were actually doing
@Verde_Creeper
Colonel Klink & Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes. They may seem like outliers here, but they're one of the best bumbling villain duos of all time, imo
