Learning how to draw, animate, and use flash all at once. Something I've only talked about for 4 years. Finally, Finally I am making the proper steps. Which is lunacy to my ears.

Well, I got nothing on here. For years I've wanted to put a lot of ideas and jokes into cartoons but I lacked the animating talent/motivation/discipline/self-conf idence/time to do so. But that's all going to change (Bear in mind this is my ass talking.) But I've made it a goal of mine to have an original cartoon series submitted on here by late fall. Can't really say what it entails because people can steal things on the internet quite easily but rest assured I will put my all of my love into it. No, not my penis. I will say it involves two loners/outcasts who live in the desert on a surreal journey in search of something different than the usual cliches. The main theme will be them running into odd characters and visiting weird dystopian societies along the way. I know that is a broad idea but it's more detailed in the pages of my notebook. It's a comedy too. I want it to be trippy/creepy like Ren and Stimpy and Salad Fingers but comedy is what I do best and it's what does best on here. So expect quotable humor and poop jokes galore. Well maybe one or two poop jokes. So I know this is all fluff and shit but I just want to reach out and promise the community that I'm giving something back to them in the future. I doubt anyone is reading this, and I don't blame ya. Shit I wouldn't either.
I need credibility, right? Proof that I will deliver. I love doing voices, it's probably my greatest strength. In the meantime between now and then I plan to audition for some quality flashes that have potential to get some footing in the community. As soon as I get a damn 4-6 pin firewire cable for the recording I'll spread my legs for service. I'll do a demo one of these days. I can do many accents: Sean Connery, Harry from Beebo, and Scarface included, evil guys, tough guys, and whatever else pops in my head in the shower.
I might do one or two shorts as well to also lay a foundation for the good stuff. One will be a Shakespeare parody of one of his plays that is fucking metal. (You know what I'm talking about if you've ever read is stuff.)
I'm hitting the books on drawing (Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain) and I'm reading from the great animator <a>http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/<a> of Ren and Stimpy. I don't plan to produce anything of that high caliber but I don't want to put shit on here which is what my animating skills are at right now. I can somewhat draw but I'm working on it. It's mostly doodles and sketches during class which sucks.
I don't recommend going to college unless you really really love the major. Because I'm almost a senior in the English Creative Writing program at FSU and frankly I haven't learned shit. I ain't dissing the school, just that particular program. I here grad school has the guy who wrote the Godfather teaching classes there. But I can't stomach the idea of two more years of this shit. But I'm digressing like a whiny bitch. Bottom line: If you don't love it, don't do it. No matter how much money. Money is a lie, a hook that pulls you around by the nose.
So I love cartoons and that's what I want to do in my spare time. So hereby pledge to make this community funnier by the end of 2009. (I'm pledging because I can't seem to get motivated to ever do anything productive. I blame drugs, but I love those things and besides it's probably something hereditary anyway. My uncle's got paranoid schizophrenia and he eats out of dumpsters. So go figure.
If anyone actually read this, I give you my word that I will work hard these next few months for you.

Look forward to seeing your stuff man. Sounds like you've got some big goals you;ve made for yourself (not unlike me), and I can't wait to see what happens when you put your mind to 'em.

If you ever need any help, contact me. But you probably won't-you've got a great plan of action set out, and have planed on covering most of the bases.

Oh, and I never really got into Ren and Stimpy, but Salad Fingers is great. So sounds like You'll be doin' great.

Hey, Thanks for reading. I appreciate your comment as well. Im more of a dreamer than a do-er so publicizing my goals is my way of trying to motivate myself. Hope it'll work. Otherwise I'm a failure. I can never finish projects so Im trying to prove myself wrong here. Yeah, I went and read your stuff, not bad. I like Sci-Fi, I look forward to seeing where that goes. Sorry for the long critques I gave you. It's the critic in me. I can safely say that I hold myself up to the same standard of criticism that I hold for others. The great thing about writing is that it can always be improved. Wait, that's not so great, nevermind. But revision is going to be something that will be done a lot with your novel and any novel. If I need your help on the series I'll let you know, but it's mostly going to be comedy with a loose story arc as a plot. I just want to focus on humor more than anything else, but I dont want it to be a random mish mash of clips and jokes (like *coughs* Family Guy.) It looks like serious stuff is more your forte, but that's cool too, just not my focus right now.

I can understand you not getting into Ren and Stimpy. The guy that created it who I mentioned in my post, John K, was fired after the second season, and they made 6 seasons. I only watch the first two seasons because theyre a lot more raw and creepy and funny. Thats why John K was fired anyway. He wasnt making a "kid's show" like Nickolodeon wanted. So you may have seen some more of the crappy epidodes. Im not sure. But here's a website where you can watch the the first two seasons if you decide to have a change of heart.
