Well, back to basics...

It amazes me the fact that I get like 10 readers in an hour. I know that's not much, but that means I'm getting some regulars and that's good to know. :)

So you remember what I told you about how drawing comics is better for know than making animations? Well, i tried SAI and it was good but too complicated as there is no rectangle tool whatsoever and that makes it difficult to draw the panels. I tried Illustrator but I just didn't get it, I mean, vectors are good, but the whole anchor thing was just too complicated for my taste.

Then I read this blog about how most comic artists start with Flash for some reason, so I tried and it was so much easier. The free transform tool is a life saver and it's easier to move a panel if it's a little to the left or right or something.

I started and finished a page without color, and I think it's okay for now, but I plan to get an episode every two weeks.

Silly me...

So you may or may have not notices the slight complete redesign of this blog. I think it looks cooler; the title font somehow reminds me of The Big Bang Theory, but I'm gonna go to the point. I was walking towards the park and then, it hit me. It hit me like a cold shot of vodka. Why not follow Andrew "F'kin" Hussie's (known for being the coolest person of the Universe) (and bear a creepy resemblance to) example and make my story (webtoon) a comic?

It's not that I don't like animating; I love it, but it's time. I take three months on average to make a 300-400 panneled storyboard a 10 minute film and my cartoon hasn't gained much popularity. So why don't I take my crappy scrappy storyboard and turn it into a comic in... Say, two weeks? That means around 26 episodes a year which sounds far better than four (which is my most optimistic estimate). Of course, I wouldn't stop making films, but they will take a while.

I started today and got around half a page in half an hour (I didn't finish because I was writing the script for episode three AND my new profile picture) and was much better because it is as detailed as I want my animations to be in substantially less time. The only thing I am not sure about is the software. I began on SAI but then wondered if Illustrator would be better. What do you think?

I'm back... Like, for real...

So yes, I said I'd come back, like, a month ago but due to some personal crap, that didn't happen. But now that I got the chance, here I am! ... Like a hurricane! Anywho, well, I do have a couple of projects right now, like to upload a little animation I made for school about zapping cancer cells. (Google that, it's really awesome.) But my main priority is to start Episode 3 (or episode 4, whatever.) ASAP, and the script is on its way. (The episode is technically already written, but I'm rewriting and revising most of it to update it to my newer style of comedy.)

On the personal side I went to see Iron Man 3 today and it was pretty awesome. Great plot, Marvel-ous special effects ad hilarious bits. Here's a tip. When the movie ends, wait for the two minute-long credits to roll, there's a last joke aftereards.
