Hey guys, I just started animating my next cartoon today and it opens with this Star Wars opening crawl-type deal but I feel like it might bore viewers before the cartoon even starts. Should I omit it y/n? http://rainbowdash.net/url/835955
Monday, 28-Mar-16 00:38:20 UTC from web-
@scoot Yeah you're the second person to tell me that so I'm just gonna go ahead and remove it.
-
@rarity I'm gonna omit the scene but that music wasn't final. It was just a placeholder I through together with a MIDI and an oboe soundfont, a lot of the music actually in the cartoon is gonna be orchestrated.
-
@mrmattimation I think it's a little bit too long, also the music might not be the right type for an intro, something slower in tempo might be better.
and if you are being thematic this might be a good option: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z51lfE2k7jU

I've been watching a lot of anime recently, so here's some !art http://pny.lv/0b9o8

@scoot I have it on my backlog, so i imagine one of these days I'll eventually get around to it. I have seen FLCL though, which is a classic and definitely one of my favourites.
-
@narwhal It's worth a watch, at least for Series 1. Series 2 has two or three really amazing episodes in it. I'd been putting off FLCL, but wow I was blown away by it. I'll have to watch it again to try and catch some of the details I missed due to the pace of it, but it was a very fun ride. I'm tempted to draw Haruko, but its getting late
-
@scoot If I'm not watching too much during this spring season of anime I'll give series 1 of Nisekoi a whirl, and let you know what I think afterwards.

Couple of extra doodles because I like her. I'll probably give her a name and actually have an OC for once. http://pny.lv/0b9rv

Finally had some time to myself just to doodle, pretty happy with it for once. Pretty sure Marceline's anatomy needs work, but it seems passable. http://pny.lv/0auxd

@scoot Her left arm does seem a bit too far behind her, but that might just be me being picky. They're really cute doodles, great faces in particular.

@mrmattimation I'm sorry to hear about that. Did you apply to more than one?
-
@scoot Yeah, I applied to like five, but they're all harder to get into than this one was.
-
@mrmattimation Dang. Don't completely give up hope though, you have 4 more chances.

Spent the day re-animating my film due to Tutors hating my brush choice, so I spent some time doodling a fantasy box-art for a game that doesn't exist. Maybe I'll make it someday. Didn't have time to finish this so that's why some of it is blue and sketchy. http://pny.lv/090ng

@mrmattimation It has it's good and bad points. Good points are that it has all of Photoshop's usual features available, bad points is that it's a bit clunky. It can do onion-skinning and such, it's all very basic. Working with good brushes is what makes it for me though. Takes a bit of getting used to
-
@mrmattimation Reading back what I posted... yeah I sounded like a dick, sorry.
But still it's the only thing that can prevent that from helping again.
and it has more advantages, loading up an older version can help you see "when x-feature started kiwiing up"
again, wasn't trying to be an ass, sorry :( -
@scoot oh, right, you have layers and stuff, my bad, been working too long on a single program I kinda forgot elsewhere things don't suck so bad
I'm forced by my school's stupid program to work with Microsoft Visual studio, it's HORRID, you try to do something in C, it works, you load it again 3 hours later and it goes through a magical equation that involves the current phase of the moon, the time of day and how many Kingdom Hearts Speedrunners are on Twitch at the time, and sometimes (most of the time) even so it refuses to load the damn code properly.
I lost a trimester's worth of work last year kuz for some reason the damned thing decided to change the class load order and prevent me from undoing it.
And to make matters worse the compression is HORRID, the same code compiled in gcc (linux) is about 3mb (code + app) while on MVS it's above 700mb

I will echo that if my actual film file had corrupted and I was told "That's what you get for not keeping backups!" I'd have been livid. Do not do this.

Alright, I'm 100% guilty of taking design cues from the things around me. Everyone is. But it's not WRONG to criticize art. It never is.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 01:20:21 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation All works are derivative in some way, it's impossible not to be.
-
-
Matt and I are both in on the CalArts stuff, wow.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 01:09:08 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Same, it's getting a little annoying and I've not seen anybody with a valid argument in favour of CalArts yet.
-
@scoot I saw one that was like "um do you know CHARACTER design???????? if u can tell the silhouette it doesn't MATTER what the actual style is" and another that was like "all art looking the same is good they did it in the renaissance all the time". What really bugs me is that people are treating it like it's a cardinal SIN to criticize the fact that a lot of cartoon characters today have relatively the same facial structure and big, toothy grin.
-
@mrmattimation I saw that first one, which falls apart because the argument is that they have the same face, not the same silhouette. Their designs are great, but they would look better if they had unique smiles. Design trends will always be a thing, but it's not exactly always good and it should be critiqued like all art.

hey guys i decided to get with the times and finally redesign my characters what do u think (i learned how to draw this at calArts) http://rainbowdash.net/url/833771
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 01:08:40 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation totally independently of you I have also redesigned my character http://pny.lv/08ic3

Seeing a lot of CalArts posts on my Tumblr dash and I'm on the fence on the matter. On the one hand I really like those cartoons and they are obviously visually distinct from each-other, on the other hand I can't excuse the toothy-grinned expression that they all have.

I need more games with several hundred-hours worth of content. Every penny counts.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 00:59:55 UTC from web-
@scoot I totally get that. Usually when I'm too broke to buy any new games I'll just go back to watching tv shows.
-
@northernnarwhal i pirate video games cherrying burn me
-
-
At least I still have stuff to do in MH4U to tide me over. Somehow 500 hours in and there's still content I haven't seen.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 00:29:12 UTC from web-
@scoot Now fans just have to wait forever for MHX. Although I have more than enough games to tide me over, the new Fire Emblem alone is eating up a ton of my free time.
-
@northernnarwhal I'll be playing the new FE when I have some money to spare, so probably not for a good while. Hopefully I'll get employed soon after I graduate and I'll be able to buy games again.
-
@scoot Yeah, I had money put aside for several months for the new Fire Emblem as I've been a fan of the series for a while now.

Also "Just hunt a lot of Elder Dragons" yeah okay no problem http://pny.lv/08ia4

Listen, Adobe, if you just appleing optimized the program, Animate would be GOLDEN. Literally every issue I've had with it so far has been related to its insane RAM usage.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 00:35:40 UTC from web-
@scoot I actually had to pirate it because, according to an Adobe customer service representative, it is a known issue that their programs do not play nice with antivirus software, so my free 30 day trial was over before I started it. Then they wouldn't fix it and instead told me to buy a Cloud subscription to fix the problem. It's INFURIATING how buggy it is, because they finally fixed the brush tool for the most part.
-
@mrmattimation Wow amazing. CC's support and account management is terrible, I wish I didn't need these programs tbh.
-
@scoot Adobe is too integrated into my workflow, I don't think I'll ever be able to leave. The standard interface is ingrained in my mind.

I want to be excited about the new Pokemon, but there's nothing to talk about. We really only have a logo for now. I'll get hyped/un-hyped when we see some new Pokemon designs.
Saturday, 27-Feb-16 00:02:14 UTC from web-
@scoot Yeah, at this point I'm looking forward to it but I can't even decide which one I'm gonna get based on title alone.
-
@northernnarwhal I already know I'll get Moon. I'm not a day-time person.

@scoot Moon sounds cooler and I'm leaning more towards it, but the Sun legendary could win me over.
