Store

I made a store. :D Also, this is my 90th post!

There's all sorts of products in it, hopefully someone will buy something someday.

Thinking about making a new blog with a different purpose... In the meantime, I might be messing around with this one to figure out what Blogspot's really capable of. I just found out how easy it is to put ads on the blog. I hope you don't mind, I know some people get offended by sites having ads...

Some unposted images, as part of me testing Blogspot. I guess I need to compose my blog through HTML if I want full control over how these images are posted, because they've always just gone to the top of the post instead of where I've left off.

Circa Nov 2009, a sketch of a scene in my EEnE fan movie.

A drawing of what Bro thought was happening in his Big Picture Show scene; beating up a baby and a 13-year-old girl while a crowd cheers him on.

A bunch of Boo Haw Haw-based drawings from my movie.

I'm proud of the girl characters in Hoop-a-Joop, since I tend to make boy's club cartoons (unintentionally; boy's are just easier to get voices out of, I guess, and I can put more of my own views into them), so I drew this.

Al and his 4-year-old brother Jim. I tend to draw this kind of scene with them. :]

OFF TO EXPLORE MORE BLOGSPOT POSSIBILITIES. Sorry that I didn't make 2010 more interesting here!

New HoopaJoop characters!

Here's a bunch of Hoop-a-Joop peripheral characters. They're mostly from doodles throughout notebooks, and a few are designed/named after people who've hated me. :D (Nick Esposito is not anyone I know, I just liked that as a full name; I forgot the name of who I based his design on)

Some are enemies of the main cast, some are indifferent, some may even just be background characters. All of them are 11-12 year olds living in the rich part of town.

Two villains I created to give Hoop-a-Joop himself more importance, and to satisfy my love for Team Rocket-style villains. They're not exactly new ideas, because in the original version of Hoop/Deathy, he was constantly at risk of being found by two security guards from the aquarium he was stolen from. But those guys weren't actively searching for Hoop-a-Joop, whereas this new duo is.

They are currently unnamed. The girl always strikes me as a Ruby, but that seems a little cliche. I also kinda want to rethink their clothes; I liked Team Rocket's uniforms, so I think I could come up with something a little more comfortable.

There are also some teacher designs I've failed to draw on the computer.

UPDATE FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!

I've been shunning you. I've gotten and lost a job, done tons of animating, and have garnered more medical problems than you can shake a stick at, and you have no idea what's been going on.. Well, I mainly just don't post because Blogger doesn't remember my password so I have to sign in every time and I don't like that.

News: All the backgrounds are done for Bro Show episode 1, but I've been lazy thus far with making animation progress. One of my voice actors hasn't given me anything yet so I'll probably have to recast that character, but I really should've made progress with the rest of it. I'm very sorry, I guess I'm just reluctant to animate new characters. I'll get over that as soon as possible. Another reason I haven't finished it is because my computer's trying to do and I'm afraid to make progress that'll be lost.

But mostly I've been distracted by how much progress I've been making in my 2-hour EEnE tribute movie spectacular! 8D So far, I'm more than an hour into the animatic, an hour and 10 minutes into the backgrounds, and I've got 5 minutes of completed animation, as well as select little pieces here and there throughout the hour of animatic that needed to be animated right away. The parts I've actually animated look amazing, and I love many of the drawings in the animatic, and am proud to say I may manage to include every vehicle, animal and character (body part or more) that's ever appeared in the show, and even some from other Danny Antonucci/AKA-related things. Most of what I've got left to sneak in here is just strange things I've gotta figure out how to include, like Santa and Mr. Sun... I've been working on this for almost 2 years now, and am amazed that I stuck with it! I hope to see it done in the next year, possibly to tie in with the 2-year anniversary of Big Picture Show's US air date...

I've also finally figured out what the evil plot is in the town of Lancaster, in Hoop-A-Joop. BUT THAT'S A SECRET~

Here's some images in case my computer dies!

A map of Jake's town in Don't Try This At Home!

A tribute to the Eds' car chase in BPS!

Bro's walk cycle for Bro Show!

Hoopajoop art from earlier this week! THEY'RE GOIN' SWIMMIES!

This Needed a Title

I finished the first episode's script and am waiting to recieve all the voices. You've probably seen the theme song at this point...



But as a special treat for the 2 people who still look at my blog, here's 3 super secret, super awesome backgrounds I've prepared for this show!

New Not Secret Project!

I'm about 43 minutes into my secret EEnE movie's animatic! But I'm taking a break from that because I've gotten a HUGE commission to make a 10 minute pilot episode of my webshow idea about Eddy's brother's teen years! Right now I've got the first episode's premise fleshed out, I've started animating the theme song, and I've made a background for the new location where most of this episode is set.

I'd, uh, post screenshots of the background and stuff, but I guess the Add Image thing won't come up? Whatever, it all looks good. :P

Where You At?

Sorry for not posting in forever, just haven't had much to say... I've made a lot of progress in my EEnE movie but I don't really have anything to share. I'm very lazy, I had another marvelous Erica visit for X-mas, and I'm putting off writing an essay right now. Also, I transferred to a new college (which is why I have the essay assignment).

You may be wondering why Miracle On Jake's Street isn't up. Weeeell, Skye's a very busy fellow and is still working on the music. He's been making progress, though, and I don't think I care about releasing MOJS around X-mas, though. I'll just let you guys see it when it's done. It'll lose a good amount of sentiment, but it sounds stupid to release something TWO YEARS after it was made just to keep up with the holidays. =P

Last but not least, I'm kinda considering making a Youtube animation channel with weekly animations (which I think I already considered a year ago, haha).. Cuz hopefully it'll get popular enough to get me much needed monies, since I can't expect many commissions to come in. XP
